Wikinfo:Cheatsheet
From Wikinfo
This page tells about Wikinfo's ways of editing so you get the results you want. The use of special characters as you edit is called markup language. The first markup editors learn is the tilde ~ because you use it to sign your postings on talk pages and anywhere that you are typing to communicate with your fellow editors. On pages that are not articles for public reading, such as talk pages and User Pages, finish your comment by signing it with 4 tildes.

Numbering is generated automatically.
| To create a footnote or reference, use this format:
Article text.<ref name="test">[http://www.example.org Link text], additional text.</ref> | Article text.[1] |
To reuse the same note, reuse the name with a trailing slash:
Article text.<ref name="test" /> | ||
To display notes, add either of these lines to the References section
<references/> | ||
| Section headings[2] A Table of Contents will automatically be generated when four headings are added to an article.
