"'bold'"
'being [[bold]] is important on Wikipedia.
Paragraph: Set the style of your text. For example, make a header or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.
A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The “More” options allows you to underline (U), cross-out text (S), add code snippets ( { } ), change language keyboards (Aあ), and clear all formatting ().
Links: Highlight text and push this button to make it a link. The Visual Editor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an “external links” section, for example) click on the “External link” tab.
Cite: The citation tool in the Visual Editor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the Visual Editor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Once you've added a source, you can click the “re-use” tab to cite it again.
Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here.
Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.
Ω: This tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.\
Add a citation with WikiCode
[edit]You can also add a citation using Wikicode.
You can access Wikicode from edit mode by clicking the pencil icon and selecting "Source editing".
Then, follow these instructions:
- Check that the bottom of the page has a "References" or "Notes" section. If not, type:
==References==
. - Check that the References section either has the text
{{reflist}}
or<references />
. If not, type:{{reflist}}
. This determines where your references will appear on the page. - Now click after the text you would like to create a reference for.
- Now type in the
<ref>
tag before your reference and type</ref>
after your reference. Wikipedia's software will automatically add your inline reference number.
