The basics
__NOTOC__ =The basics= Two line breaks between paragraphs. Leading spaces mean that the line will be printed out in mono-space.  Here are a bunch of examples of what you type and what you get:  <nowiki>A [[link]] to the "link" wiki entry.</nowiki>A [[link]] to the "link" wiki entry.    <nowiki>A [[My Dad|link]] to the "My Dad" wiki entry.</nowiki>A [[My Dad|link]] to the "My Dad" wiki entry.    <nowiki>A [http://wso.williams.edu link] to an external site.</nowiki>A [http://wso.williams.edu link] to an external site.    ==This Is A New Section====This Is A New Section==   ===Sub-section======Sub-section===   ====Sub-sub-section========Sub-sub-section====   <nowiki>''italics'' and '''bold'''</nowiki>''italics'' and '''bold'''   Lists:  # This # is a # numbered list #* with an un-ordered #* sub-list # This# is a# numbered list#* with an un-ordered #* sub-list    * This * is a * un-ordered list *# with a numbered *# sub-list *#* and an unordered sub-sub-list *#** and also an unordered sub-sub-sub-list * This* is a* un-ordered list*# with a numbered *# sub-list*#* and an unordered sub-sub-list*#** and also an unordered sub-sub-sub-list   A table:  <nowiki> {| ! adjective||noun |- |boring||table |- |unsortable||data |}</nowiki> {|! adjective||noun|-|boring||table|-|unsortable||data|}    You can also make a sortable table like this. Try clicking the header.  <nowiki> {| class="sortable" id="pick-a-unique-id" ! adjective||noun |- |exciting||table |- |sortable||data |- |appropriate||JavaScript |}</nowiki> {| class="sortable" id="pick-a-unique-id"! adjective||noun|-|exciting||table|-|sortable||data|-|appropriate||JavaScript|}   You can also put in pretty pictures. You'll first need to [[Special:Upload|upload]] them. See also [[Help:Pictures]].  <nowiki>[[Image:Cribbage500_margit.jpg|right|thumbnail|An image on the right with a caption.]]</nowiki> [[Image:Cribbage500_margit.jpg|right|thumbnail|An image on the right with a caption.]]  If the picture already exists on the Internet, you could conceivably remote-link it, though people frown upon this practice. To do this, simply paste the URL of the picture into the page, like this:  <nowiki>http://www.williams.edu/athletics/images/cow.gif</nowiki>http://www.williams.edu/athletics/images/cow.gif  If you are going to put an email address, please use this tag. It hides the address from spam robots.  <nowiki><email>email@wso.williams.edu</email></nowiki><email>email@wso.williams.edu</email> =Other resources= Until something better comes along, a good help resource is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_edit_a_page Wikipedia's How to edit a page article]. If you're looking for a more comprehensive reference, try this one [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents provided by the WikiMedia folks].
