== Advanced Features ==
Willipedia uses [http://wikipedia.sourceforge.net/ MediaWiki], the same software that powers the free and famous [[Wikipedia:Main page|Wikipedia]]. In addition, Willipedia uses the following MediaWiki Extensions, which let you insert cool components into an article page using only the textbox. Click the links to learn more about the specific syntax for each extension.
* [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Formula Math]: allows for equations like this:
<math>
e^{\pi i} + 1 = 0
</math>
* [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Emiller/GoogleMapsExtension Google Maps]: enables Google Maps with little markers:
<googlemap lat="42.716644" lon="-73.2029" zoom="0" controls="small" width="300" height="200" type="satellite">
42.716644,-73.2029,Mission Park
</googlemap>
* [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Dscho:LilyPond LilyPond]: lets you make musical mark-up like this (I'm not sure why there's so much white space):
<lilypond>c4 e g</lilypond>
* [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Easytimeline Easytimeline]: actually not all that easy and not all that pretty, but it's there if you want it.
* [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Tdittmar/MailObfuscator MailObfuscator]: if you put an email address in between <nowiki><email></nowiki> tags, then spam robots won't be able to see it. But people will. See, it looks normal:
** <email>wiki@wso.williams.edu</email>

# You'll see a big white box. Type the article into there, and when you're done, click "Save page".
You will probably want to consult [[Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page|Wikipedia's editing guide]] to learn useful syntax. Feel free to experiment in the [[Sandbox]].
