This is my sandbox. So far, I've learned just a few wiki markup codes. By using two single quotes before and after a word, I can italicize it. Three single quotes on either side of the word makes it bold.

I can link to another Wikipedia page by placing the page name in double square brackets, as in Andy Kaufman.

Piped text works similarly, but here I put the double square brackets, name of the page, then SHIFT+backslash to put in the pipe character, then the text I want it to read. Say, for example, I wanted to reference the character Tony Clifton, but have the link direct to Andy Kaufman's page.

As you can tell, I'm interested in Andy Kaufman. I think he was a brilliant comedian and performance artist. Long before Sacha Baron Cohen, Kaufman created characters and performed outrageous stunts, including a long stint in professional wrestling which few people realized was an elaborate stunt.
