This is a 'sandbox' for Armond Dean to practice what he has learned about Wikipedia before acting as an editor or creating a Wikipedia article

Here he can practice editing, plan out articles and begin drafting articles.


 * a) This is how to use bold. Type the word, highlight it, click on Bold button right-hand side of the Edit toolbar above this box, add Edit Summary, review in Show preview, Save Page.


 * b) Make a Wilkilink using the Link button in the Edit toolbar.Note that the word bold is now in blue.


 * c) Now change the Link from a normal link to a piped link by inserting boldness in the dialogue box.

Pipe created by Shift + Backslash (which looks like this: \)

The example above is now underlined if you place the cursor over it, this shows that the word is a hyperlink.

Click the 'Edit Source' tab and the Wiki markup shows the pipe and the name of the linked page - Boldness.

Below is an example of an ordinary link where the Wikipage is the same as the text;

Bold

You can try making links to Wikipedia articles, adding bold and italic text, dividing the page into sections using headers, and creating footnotes.

Task
