A table:

|-
|boring||table
|-
|unsortable||data
|}
| adjective | noun |
|---|---|
| boring | table |
| unsortable | data |
You can also make a sortable table like this. Try clicking the header.
{| class="sortable" id="pick-a-unique-id"
! adjective||noun
|-
|exciting||table
|-
|sortable||data
|-
|appropriate||JavaScript
|}
| adjective | noun |
|---|---|
| exciting | table |
| sortable | data |
| appropriate | JavaScript |
You can also put in pretty pictures. You'll first need to upload them.
[[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:
http://www.williams.edu/athletics/images/cow.gif
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.
<email>email@wso.williams.edu</email>
<email>email@wso.williams.edu</email>
Other resources
Until something better comes along, a good help resource is Wikipedia's How to edit a page article.
