'''How do I ask questions about Willipediathat aren't listed here?'''

Email <email>wiki@wso.williams.edu</email> to contact the [[Willipedia board]], which will answer your question promptly and may place it here. Alternately, you may add your question to this page if you think seeing the answer is in the interest of the public, and the board or anothe ruser another user may answer it.

To add Important: before creating a new page, you must first link it from another page. The first thing to do is to should search the wiki for the term you want to be the title of your page; if it already exists, you can put double square brackets around the word, and then click Save page at the bottom, and then you will see the text of your title in red on the preexisting page. Click on that, and edit away; now you have your new page. In general, go there's no need to an existing page that is related to the page you want to addrecreate it. Put in something about the page you want (Be sure to add, including check for the exact same title of the page with different capitalization; this should happen automatically when you want to create, and put that in square brackets. Then do as abovesearch.)

You don't. You can edit a page, you can even delete all the text on a page, but general normal users cannot actually delete a page because . The reason for this restriction is that deleting a page removes all of that pages page's edit history, which makes reversion or further improvement of that page impossible. Where possible, we you should try to improve pages rather than annihilate them in this way. Currently, only members of the [[Wiki_board|Willipedia board]] have the power to delete, and use it sparingly. If you think a page should be deleted, you can delete all the text on the page and put the word delete within two sets of curly brackets, like this: <code><nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki></code>.

At the beginning '''I left lines between paragraphs of the text block, put the word blockquote between < >. At the end, put it between </ >. If the but my text is showing up as one big block has multiple paragraphs, . How do this for each paragraph.I fix it?'''

To create a division between paragraphs skip a line (two carriage returns) in the edit box. To indent text, preface each paragraph (or each line, in a poem) with a colon. '''What if I want to link to an article, but I don't want to use the article's title or capitalization style as the linking word?:Hi.'''produces:Hi.

Italicized text has two single quotes (<code>'</code>) on either side of it, <code><nowiki>''How do I make a section within a page?'like this''</nowiki></code>. Bold text has three quotes on each side.

Put two or more = signs on both sides of the section title. The more = signs, the smaller the title will be, and the more of a sub-subsection it is. '''How do I format something offset a block of text, like a poemlong quotation from another source?'''
