Let's practise markup!
It would be really embarrassing to run around editing pages without knowing what was going on. So, here we go.

BasicWikiLinks

 * Grue
 * Grueificiation!
 * Pipelinks are awesome
 * Links to other namespaces look something like Manual of Style
 * Namespace references can be hidden using empty pipes: Manual of Style
 * So can things in brackets: kingdom
 * You can hide both: Manual of Style
 * Manual of Style does NOT hide anything (or even work).
 * Links to specific places on pages use the # symbol:
 * Economics goes to the See also section on Economics
 * links to the External Links section of this page

Meta-ish WikiLinks
Special:Recentchangeslinked/Grue
 * Self-links like User:TheRealInsomnius/Sandbox show up in bold
 * Pages on what links here - Special:Whatlinkshere/Grue - and related changes
 * User's contributions: Special:Contributions/TheRealInsomnius
 * Adding a page to a category (best placed at end of edit box): [[Category: Examples]
 * Linking to a category: place a colon before "Category": Category:Example

General Formatting
Lines that begin with a space will be pre-formatted


 * More than one single quotation mark is used for emphasis. emphasised, strong, 'strongly emphasised'
 * Monospace text or  use HTML(/esque) tags
 * Small text (made as in HTML) can be used for captions.
 * Deleted and inserted may be appropriate on Talk pages. Not to be used in articles.
 * Diacriticals, symbols etc. use code for HTML entities.
 * Centering text is done as in HTML

Misc
More than one way to sign your name, all varying numbers of tildes. This should be done when adding something to a Talk page.

Confusing Stuff

 * Redirecting : apparently #REDIRECT Grue on the first line of an article causes a redirect. Not clear on how that works.
