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.
See Wikinfo:How to edit a page for more detailed explanations and advanced syntax.
