User:Lezelmaz/sandbox/practice draft on Josh Fox

Hello, world! practice_draft_on_Josh Fox is a recycled user subpage, neglected since 2013. After returning to life, the repurposed page stores discreet wikitext blocks for use as template snippets (it will likely acquire a new name/move.) These are informal, personally made snippet blocks based on mastery of learned Wikimedia markup. Sources are almost exclusively from established Wikipedia articles and MediaWiki guides, help pages, and how-to's, supplemented with reliable sources, such as W3C and WHATWG.

The markup language called wikitext, also known as wiki markup or wikicode, consists of syntax and keywords used by the MediaWiki software to format a page. Often there is an array of methods available to achieve specific formatting of any element in a wikipage. This working page is a partial guide, simply a breadcrumb trail and cheatsheet to document the learning adventure. The literature, guides, help pages, et al., is vast and overwhelming as attempts to hone in on a desired treatment. As a "newbie" editor, I have languished for years due to technical roadblocks, making minor edits and updates here and there. Basic editing skills, such as citing sources; making inline notes; adding a new section; updating old data, require some skill or know-how to search the morass of documentation. Even using one's User page or sandbox is challenging in the opposite extreme: how to populate a blank page? On top, an editor must consider policies over content and tone or heated editing wars. This page is here to push past these hurdles. The listed examples are the method I utilized for a suitable outcome. Linkbacks litter lists and tables and point to valuable sources with more thorough documentation and exhaustive guides.
