Being bold is important on Wikipedia. I really enjoy this is pretty cool Most of the time you'll use visual editing, but if you want to edit a Talk page 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

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)

If someone leaves a reply or tags you with a question, you should respond.

Open up the page just as you would open up an article to edit. Underneath the comment you're responding to, type a colon. Each : will indent your response deeper into the conversation. So if you respond to a response, use two colons, etc.

It is crucial that you sign your messages with four tildes to automatically mark it with your username and a timestamp.
