Help:Wiki markup

Help page

This wikitext guide is a brief demonstration of the markup used on the Kingdom Hearts Database. The Kingdom Hearts Database runs on MediaWiki, the same software that runs Wikipedia, and as a result, we use the same markup that is found there, commonly called "wikitext". If you're ever wondering how to do some of the formatting that is used on the Database, you can refer back to this guide.

The Kingdom Hearts Database has enabled MediaWiki's new Visual Editor by default. One of the great things about this feature is that, even if you want to keep using the source editor with all the code visible, you can use a toolbar to generate the necessary markup for different formats.
