Introduction

This is a very brief summary of the most basic functionality of the Mediawiki platform, the same that powers Wikipedia. A more through description can be found here

Section 4.1, is particularly useful for the first steps:

Create a new page

There are 2 basic ways:

1. 1. Search for the new page in the search box (in the left of the page) – if the term does not exist it will allow the creation of this page, by pressing the link "You can create this page"
   2. When editing a page, inserting a link to a specific definition (see below, even if the page does not exist, will allow the creation of this new page by following the link.

Editing a page

Basic syntax

1. 1. Headers , just use the “=” sign to specify the heading level

<nowiki>= Heading 1 = (best not to use it)

== Heading 2 ==

=== Heading 3 ===

...

b) Bullets and numbered lists

* a bulleted item

** a bulleted item in another level

# - an item in a numbered list

## an item in a numbered list in level 2

c) Tables – Each table begins with "{|" and ends with "|}" in separate lines. Columns are separated with "||" and a new row starts with "|-" in a new line. Table headings start with “!” for the first column or "!!" for the remaining columns . To add a border, the first line should be "{| - border ="1" ". Here’s a simple example:

{| border ="1"

!Letter !! Number

|-

|Aleph || 1

|-

|Beth ||2

|}
