[edit] Wikipedia links

Same as above but add "wikipedia:" before the link.

[edit] External links

Enclose words in single square braces to make a link to another website. Separate the URL from the caption with a space (" ").

[edit] Article sections

Enclose text with equal signs to divide an article into sections.

[edit] Images

Upload an image using the upload file link found in the main menu.

Use this code to add an image to the article:

Result:
