Markup reference

Basic markup

Markup	Result
''italic''	italic
'''bold'''	bold
'''''bold italic'''''	bold italic
= Heading 1 =	Top-level heading (in MediaWiki, = H1 = is practically never used. In WikiGlide, it is used practically)
== Heading 2 ==	Section heading
=== Heading 3 ===	Subsection heading
* Bullet item	Unordered list item
# Numbered item	Ordered list item
; Term : Definition	Definition list
----	Horizontal rule
<nowiki>...</nowiki>	Disable wiki parsing
<pre>...</pre>	Preformatted block
<code>...</code>	Inline code
<ref>...</ref>	Footnote reference

Links

Markup	Description
[[Page Name]]	Link to a wiki page
[[Page Name|display text]]	Link with custom display text
[[Page Name#Section]]	Link to a section anchor
[[Page (topic)|]]	Pipe trick — the trailing | auto-generates display text by stripping the parenthetical, so this displays as "Page"
[https://example.com text]	External link — displays "text" as a clickable link to the URL
[https://example.com]	External link with no label — automatically numbered [1], [2], etc. in order of appearance

Includes

Wiki pages can be transcluded into other pages using the include syntax. Pages that are primarily used for includes conventionally have "Template" in their title. Includes support positional and named parameters. This is similar to the template syntax in MediaWiki.

Markup	Description
{{PageName}}	Include a wiki page
{{PageName|arg1|arg2}}	With positional parameters
{{PageName|key=value}}	With named parameters
{{{1}}}	First positional parameter (inside the included page)
{{{name|default}}}	Named parameter with default value (inside the included page)

Use <noinclude> to hide content when included, <includeonly> to show content only when included, and <onlyinclude> to restrict which part is included.

Images

Images use the ![[...]] syntax (not [[File:...]]).

Markup	Description
![[photo.png]]	Inline image
![[photo.png|thumb|A caption]]	Thumbnail with caption
![[photo.png|300px]]	Image at 300px width
![[photo.png|left]]	Float image left
![[photo.png|frame|Caption]]	Framed image with caption
![[photo.png|alt=Alt text]]	Custom alt text

Options can be combined: ![[photo.png|thumb|right|200px|A photo]]

References

Add footnotes with <ref> tags and display them with <references /> or the {{Reflist}} template.

Markup	Description
<ref>Source text</ref>	Inline footnote
<ref name="id">...</ref>	Named reference (reusable)
<ref name="id" />	Reuse a named reference
<references />	Display reference list
{{Reflist}}	Display reference list (template)

Tables

Markup	Description
{|	Start table (optional attributes after)
|+	Table caption
|-	New row
! Header	Header cell
| Cell	Data cell
|| Cell	Inline cell separator
|}	End table

Example:

{|
|+ Caption
! Header 1 !! Header 2
|-
| Cell 1 || Cell 2
|-
| Cell 3 || Cell 4
|}

Mobile-friendly table classes

Wide tables can be hard to read on small screens. All tables automatically scroll horizontally when they overflow. For more control, you can add these CSS classes to the table start line: {| class="wikitable-stack"

Classes can be combined: {| class="wikitable-card wikitable-pinfirst"

wikitable-stack

All cells stack vertically — each row becomes a block. Useful for navboxes and group/list tables where cells should reflow on narrow screens.

wikitable-card

Each row becomes a stacked card with header labels. Requires a header row (! cells) to generate labels.

wikitable-pinfirst

First column stays fixed while the rest scrolls horizontally. Useful for tables where the first column is a row label.

Magic words

Word	Effect
__NOTOC__	Hide the table of contents
__FORCETOC__	Force TOC even with few headings
__TOC__	Place TOC at this position
__NOGALLERY__	Disable gallery rendering
__NOEDITSECTION__	Hide section edit links

Magic links: ISBN 978-0-123456-78-9, RFC 1234, PMID 12345 are automatically linked.

Page management

Renaming pages

Sysops and curators can rename (move) a page to a new title. The rename option is available from the edit page — look for the "Rename" link at the bottom.

When a page is renamed:

• The full revision history moves to the new title
• Internal links from other pages are automatically updated to point to the new title
• The search index is updated
• A rename entry is recorded in the page history with the old title, new title, and reason

A rename will be rejected if a page with the target title already exists.

Embeds

External media can be embedded using special tags. These tags are processed before HTML sanitization, so the iframes they produce are preserved safely.

Markup	Description
<youtube>VIDEO_ID</youtube>	Embed a YouTube video (11-character video ID)
<googlemap place="Seoul" />	Embed a Google Map centered on a place
<googlemap place="..." width="600" height="450" maptype="roadmap" />	Full syntax with optional width, height, and map type (roadmap or satellite)

The {{googlemap}} template provides a convenient wrapper:

Markup	Description
{{googlemap|place=Seoul}}	Embed a map with default size (600×450)
{{googlemap|place=Gyeongbokgung Palace|width=800|height=500}}	Custom dimensions
{{googlemap|place=Seoul|maptype=satellite}}	Satellite view
