Paragraph: This helps you set the style of the text. For example, a header, or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.

A : Highlight your text, then click here to format it with bold, italics, etc. The "More" options allows you to underline, add code snippets, and change language keyboards.

Links: The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. The visual editor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab.

Cite: The citation tool in the visual editor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the visual editor will try to sort out all of the fields you need. Be sure to review it, however, and apply missing fields manually (if you know them). You can also add books, journals, news, and websites manually. That opens up a quick guide for inputting your citations. Finally, you can click the "re-use" tab if you've already added a source and just want to cite it again. Insert: This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.
 * Bullets: To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here.

Ω The final tab allows you to add special characters, such as those found in non-English words, scientific notation, and a handful of language extensions.№₪₳

Most of the time you'll use visual editing, but if you want to edit a Talk page or make changes in source editing mode, you'll need to learn a little Wikicode.

The wiki code for bold text is like this:

= bold

Creating a wikilink (that is, a link to another article on Wikipedia) looks like this:

= bold

That link to the article Bold will redirect you to Emphasis (typography). To link to an article with a different name than the text, put a   (a "pipe", inserted with shift + \ on most keyboards) in between the code and the word you want to appear on the page. Like this:

= bold (with the link to Boldness)
