Class Notes
Most of the time you'll use the Visual Editor, but if you want to edit a Talk page (found at the upper-left of every Wikipedia article) 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

On the English Wikipedia, 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)

Talk Pages

1. they are edited in wikicode so I will have to learn some of it

2. Use colons as indents to mark replies

3. adding four tildes  will add a signature with a time stamp to the end

4. To get a specific user's attention, you can “ping” them by writing on a Talk page, which will send them a notification.
