Lists


  • Lists are very useful ways to organize information, but should not take the place of paragraphs and sentences
  • Asterisks mark each list item in "wikicode" with no need for any code demarcating the beginning or end of the list:

[list]
[*] List item 1
[*] List item 2
[*] List item 3
[/list]


More complicated lists are possible (indents, etc.) but not recommended

See Also

The "See Also" section is used to create interlinks among all the wiki articles and category pages. It is also a useful place to put web links to B&B reviews or forum threads, or external links to, say, sources for the article.

Footnotes


You can place footnotes inline with your article text. The "value" of the footnote is usually a "url" tag, but can also be plain text.

[footnote]value[/footnote]

At the bottom of your article, place an empty reflist tag wherever the list of footnote values should appear.

[reflist][/reflist]

[url=http://www.badgerandblade.com]Link to B&B's front page[/url]

Note that text is case-sensitive for all wiki links:

[main]Shave soaps[/main]

[main=Shave soaps]the B&B wiki article on shave soaps[/main]

There are several wiki "namespaces". Besides main, there are "category" and "special" namespaces.

[special=Categories]list of all categories[/special]

Categories

Categories are broad key words used to group articles. They appear at the bottom of the page and should be placed at the bottom of the article's wikicode. Category wikicode looks like:

[category]UpdateNeeded[/category]
[category]Safety Razors[/category]
[category]Double Edge Razors[/category]

Note the categories are case-sensitive (that is, you must provide the exact capitalization and spacing as shown for the category).

You can link to a category with a slightly different syntax:

[category="Safety Razors"]Safety Razor Compendium[/category]
