Common formatting
Side note - The Table Of Contents at the top gets created automatically by using headers.
Header format
- To make a header like the one above here then you should surround the text with 2 ='s signs.
- Example: "==This is a header=="
Sub Header Format
- Sub headers just add extra ='s on each side.
- Example: For a sub header to "Common Formatting" you'd just need to add a line below that and put "===Sub Header===".
- this maxes out at "======" on each side.
List format
- To make items in a bulleted list like this one you use "* " before the text. To indent bullets you can just add more *'s
- Example: "* This is will be bulleted like the line above" or "** This will be bulleted like this line is"
- To make a numbered list you use "# ". And like the above you simply add more #'s to add intended lines.
Italics
- To italicize text you surround it with two 's on each side.
- Example (remove space between the ') ' 'Italics' '
Bold
- Bold works like Italics except it's 3 ' instead of 2.
Bold & Italics
- This is simply 5 ' on each side. 2 for italic and 3 for bold.
Page Linking
- To link a page you simply do [ [your page title] ] (Remove the space between [ [ and ] ])
Category Linkning
To link to a category simply do [ [:Category:category name| Text to be displayed ] ] (Remove the space between [ [ and ] ])
Categories
- Categories only need to be worried about for new pages.
- The biggest thing for categories is that we want to each page to link to it's department category, and if applicable (IE the department category is a general one, but this page is specific to a convention) the convention the page is specific for.
- Then you ensure the Department Category is linked to either General if it's a category that exists in both conventions or to the Convention that the category is for.
How to declare a category
- To declare a category then you need to use (on it's own separate line - best practice is at the top but can be wherever) [[Category:<your category>]].
- Categories can have spaces.
Category Requirements
- For category pages you must use [ [Category:Departments] ] (Remove the space between [ [ and ] ]) as that's for the complete department list, regardless of convention specific or general.
