There are several differences between Media wiki and restructured text. They are displayed on this page

Unfortunately, the nowiki tag is currently crashing the server, so the source text cannot be displayed.

Simple formatting

This will be a mess of examples like

  • Desired result: how to make things italics or bold or ^underline^
  • reStructured Text: how to make things *italics* or **bold** or ^underline^
  • Mediawiki: how to make things italics or bold or ^underline^

Referencing other pages (Internal Links)

Linking to External Sites

  • Desired result: Google!
  • reStructured Text: (Doesn't compile)
  • Mediawiki: Google!


Headings are good

So are smaller headings

If you want to link to another page in the wiki you just do it like this:

HKN QE_OldKiwi

Links to external pages can be done like this:

mediaWiki is nice. It has its own webpage.

You can even make a table:

Inputs Output
A B A or B
False False False
True False True
False True True
True True True

If you put things in quotes like this then they will get displayed exactly:

(Currently crashes Mediawiki...:-( )

``This will be a mess of examples like how to make things italics or bold``

As opposed to this:

This will be a mess of examples like how to make things italics or bold

You can do bullets like:

  • This thing
  • This other thing
    • This really important third thing
    • Notice you use more stars, not more space....

Here are some even more awesome bullets

  • a bullet point using "*"
    • a sub-list using "**"
      • yet another sub-list "***"
      • another item


So what if you want to write an equation... LaTex

$ P(X = i) = P(Y = i) = \frac{1}{2^i}, i = 1,2,3,... $


Here are some more headings:

Chapter 1 Title

Section 1.1 Title

Subsection 1.1.1 Title

Section 1.2 Title

Chapter 2 Title

And that's the end!
