== Editing Pages ==

To maintain consistency, let's try to adhere to the following conventions and guidelines:

=== Understanding Wiki Markup ===

MediaWiki uses a lightweight markup language called Wiki Markup to format and structure content. Here are a few essential elements:

* '''Headings''': Use equal signs <code>=</code> to create headings. For example, <code>=== Section Title ===</code> creates a third-level heading.

* '''Bold and Italic''': Enclose text in triple apostrophes <code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code> for italics and double apostrophes <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> for bold. For example, <code><nowiki>''italic text''</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>'''bold text'''</nowiki></code>.

* '''Lists''': Create bulleted lists using asterisks <code>*</code> or numbered lists using hash symbols <code>#</code>.

* '''Links''': Enclose the text in double square brackets <code>[[ ]]</code> to create a link to another page. For example, <code><nowiki>[[Page Title]]</nowiki></code> links to the page titled "''Page Title''".

* '''Citing Sources and References''': Use the <code><nowiki><ref> </ref></nowiki></code> tags to create footnotes and references.

* '''Linking to Other Pages''': Whenever possible, link relevant terms or topics to existing pages within the wiki to provide more context and facilitate navigation.

* '''Collaboration and Communication''': Take advantage of talk pages and discussion forums to communicate with other editors, ask questions, and seek feedback.
