text=%25audience%25 authors (basic)%0aThe pages on this site are [[WikiWikiWeb]] pages, which means that pages can be created and edited by multiple authors. To edit a page, click the '''Edit''' link that exists somewhere on the page, usually in the header or footer. Some pages may be [[password(s)]]-protected, depending on the system's security policies, but many systems allow open editing of pages.%0a%0a%0aWhen editing a page, you see the ''markup text'' that describes the content of the page.  The basic rules for page markup are fairly simple:%0a# Put a blank line between paragraphs%0a# To make a list, start each line with # for numbered (ordered) lists or * for bulleted (unordered) lists.%0a# To make a heading, start a line with two or more ! marks; !! is a subheading, and !!! is a sub-subheading.%0a# To emphasize text, enclose it in 2 or 3 ''single quotes''; [@''text''@] for italics or [@'''text'''@] for bold.%0a# To make a link to another page, enclose the page's name in double brackets; for example [@[[basic editing]]@] links to this page. Links to [[nonexistent pages]] are displayed specially, to invite others to create the page.%0a# To make a link to another site, type its address, such as http://www.example.com/ .%0a%0a'''If you want to experiment with editing a page, try it on the [[Main/WikiSandbox]].''' You can [[Main/WikiSandbox?action=edit | edit the WikiSandbox]] without affecting anything important on this site. If you do edit other pages, it's courteous to '''sign''' your contribution; using [=~~=]~ effectively 'signs' the name that you provide in the Author field on the Page Edit form.%0a%0a!! Examples%0a%0aThe table below demonstrates many of the common markups used to format pages.  The left column shows the effect of the markup, the right column shows what to write to achieve the effect.  More details are available from the [[text formatting rules]] and other documentation pages. An '''exhaustive list''' of default markup is available as the [[markup master index]]%0a%0a!!!
