This is my sandbox page, where I can play around with wiki markup, practice making edits, and start writing an article, all while insuring that it wont get deleted. What a great space to learn how to create an article! Being bold]] is important on wikipedia.

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. VisualEditor 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 VisualEditor helps format your citations. You can simply paste a DOI or URL, and the VisualEditor 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.

Bullets

 * To add bullet points or a numbered list, click here.

Insert
This tab lets you add media, images, or tables.

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.

Adding references
To add a reference, simply click on the "cite tab at the top of the edit page and then enter the requested information. For example, a study conducted among Congo Basin foragers of the Central African Republic found that tobacco smoking might play a role in modulating infections with intestinal parasites.
