Intro

Ok well..to really learn about wiki quickly..you need to look at the most important aspect, 'the source'. Click on the 'Edit' link/button of this page now. (or if you're super fucking lazy click here)

Magic

This is where the magic happends. Click the 'Show Preview' button to compare the source with the formated wiki page.

The Meat

2 main ways to link in wiki is:

Internal: (back into the wiki itself). It helps if the page you are linking to exists.
- Example: [[Sandbox]] produces Sandbox or [[Sandbox|This fnord links to Sandbox]] produces This fnord links to Sandbox
External: Format is [http://url.com/fnord LinkNameWhitSpaceOptional]
- Example: [http://wikipedia.org Wikipedia..the mother of all wikis] produces Wikipedia..the mother of all wikis

To seperate sentences you will either need to

put a empty line between them or you can
break them up like
this

how to make:

''italicized text'' = italicized text
'''bolded text''' = bolded text
''''bolded text with single quotes'''' = 'bolded text with single quotes'
A bowel movement? Hot water, 1/4 lemon squeezed, pinch of salt, mix in a mug, drink, do some lower back stretches and Agni Sara

how to link:

Quick Legend: 
external link = blue  (Wikipedia:Sandbox)
internal link = green (Sandbox)
broken*  link = red   (A fake sandbox) (*or 'wanted link',it means YOU should create it;))

internal: [[Fnord]] = Fnord
internal labeled: [[Fnord|lick here]] = lick here
interwiki: [[Wikipedia:Fnord]] = Wikipedia:Fnord
interwiki labeled: [[Wikipedia:Fnord|touch me]] = touch me
external: [http://seti23.org] = [1]
external labeled: [http://seti23.org seti23] = seti23

Notice that external links have only one bracket, while wiki links have double brackets.

Interwiki linking includes search engine links like [[Google:Fnord]] = Google:Fnord and you can use every other alias you find in the Intermap.

Ok..that should be enough info to allow you to explore wiki.
Some suggestions before you do:

Mess around with your new wiki skills in the Sandbox
Make an wiki account so you can track your changes and others can know who you are and introduce themselves. This allows the Wiki Editors to know who you are..hopefully not a troll.
Check out the Recentchanges page to see the changes you've made and what others are working on.
