Sections and subsections

Start sections with header lines. If you create more than three sections, then Comixpedia.org will generate a table of contents for your article.

Note: Single equal signs give the highest level heading, like the page title; usually projects have the convention not to use them.

Newlines

A single newline has no effect on the layout.

But an empty line starts a new paragraph, or ends a list or indented part.

Line breaks

You can break lines

(The HTML tag <br> is sufficient. The system produces the XHTML element <br />.)

You can break lines<br>
without starting a new paragraph.

Unordered lists

• Unordered lists are easy to do:
  • start every line with a star
    • more stars means deeper levels
• A newline
• in a list

marks the end of the list.

• Of course
• you can
• start again.

** start every line with a star
*** more stars means deeper levels
*A newline
*in a list  
marks the end of the list.
*Of course
*you can

Numbered lists

1. Numbered lists are also good
   1. very organized
   2. easy to follow
2. A newline
3. in a list

marks the end of the list.

1. New numbering starts
2. with 1.

#A newline
#in a list  
marks the end of the list.
#New numbering starts

• You can even do mixed lists
  1. and nest them
     • or break lines
       in lists

Indenting

A colon indents a line or paragraph.

A manual newline starts a new paragraph.

You can use more than one colon.

This indents more than one level.

This is useful for organising talk pages.

Links to articles

Dudley's Dungeon is one of our webcomics.

Links are case sensitive, but Comixpedia.org always capitalizes the first letter. Then Webcomic and webcomic are the same.

[[Dudley's Dungeon]] is one of our [[webcomic]]s.

Links are ''case sensitive'',
but Comixpedia.org always
capitalizes the first letter.
Then [[Webcomic]] and [[webcomic]]
are the same.

Piped (labeled) link

The pipe "|" (shift-\ for some of you) labels a link:

• Return to the main page.
• Discuss the main page.

The pipe "'''|'''" (shift-\ for some of you)
labels a link:
* [[Main Page|Return to the main page.]]
* [[Talk:Main Page|Discuss the main page.]]

Interwiki linking

This feature lets you link to another wiki. The topic of Wikipedia:webcomic is defined at Wiktionary:webcomic.

The part before the colon is case insensitive: wiKIPeDiA:webcomic.

Look up webcomic in the Wiktionary. The "blank pipe" label hides the "Wiktionary:" part.

The part before the colon is
''case insensitive'': [[wiKIPeDiA:webcomic]].

Links to category pages

To link to category pages, you need an extra colon.

• Category:Roleplaying games
• Roleplaying games

Without that colon, you categorise the page and your link seems to disappear.

* [[:Category:Roleplaying games]]
* [[:Category:Roleplaying games|]]

Redirect

Redirect one page to another. For example, Dudley's dungeon redirects to Dudley's Dungeon because it contains the code on the right.

There is no dudley's Dungeon redirect because Comixpedia.org always uppercases the first letter. Redirects are also useful when combining two pages into one.

#REDIRECT [[Dudley's Dungeon]]

Categorisation

To put Dudley's Dungeon in Roleplaying games, put this code on the bottom of the page.

[[Category:Roleplaying games]]

Dudley's Dungeon

[1] is a numbered link.

[http://dudley.nicolaas.net Dudley's Dungeon]

[http://dudley.nicolaas.net] is a
numbered link.

Or just give the URI: http://dudley.nicolaas.net.

Or just give the URI:
http://dudley.nicolaas.net.

Credit

The above template is a good idea for any article that starts out as a copy of a Wikipedia article. For example, it appears on the bottom of our webcomic article to show that it took text from Wikipedia:webcomic.

The text comes from Template:credit.

{{credit}}

Copy this code to the top of your webcomic article to create an "Infobox" about the webcomic. Replace the parameter values (the text to the right of the eqaul signs). If you are not using a parameter, leave it blank, but do not remove its line.

The text comes from Template:Infobox webcomic.

{{Infobox webcomic|
| title = Dudley's Dungeon
| image = 
| caption = 
| author = Dion Nicolaas and contributors
| url = http://dudley.nicolaas.net
| status = 5 days per week
| began = February 2, 2004
| ended =
| genre = Fantasy, Roleplaying games
| ratings =

Copy this code into an article to warn people that a plot-spoiling portion of the article is coming up.

The text comes from Template:Spoiler.

If an article is messy, and you want to make sure to return to it later to clean it up, try using the Clean Up tag.

The text comes from Template:Cleanup.

{{Cleanup}}

If an article has the wrong title due to technical limitations (for example, we can't use the square bracket "[" in an article title, and the first letter of each article name must be capitalized), use the {{wrongtitle}} tag. Here is the {{wrongtitle}} tag in action for the article Her! Girl vs Pig (which should be titled "Her! [Girl vs. Pig]")

The title of this article is incorrect due to technical limitations. The correct title is Her! [Girl vs. Pig].

The text comes from Template:Wrongtitle.

{{wrongtitle|title=Her! [Girl vs. Pig]}}
