Pages that start with the phrase "Template:" can be used in a similar fashion to SmartSimple's [[System Variables]]. They can contain blocks of text, such as commonly used terms, Wiki tables and uploaded images. You should use templates if a term, table or image will be repeated across multiple pages. The template can be referenced by surrounding the template name (minus the leading "Template:" string) with <nowiki>{{double brackets}}</nowiki>.

Heading Levels

== Level 2 ==
=== Level 3 ===
 ==== Level 4 ====
 ===== Level 5 =====
 ====== Level 6 ======
  • Level 1 is the Page Name.
  • An article with four or more headings automatically creates a table of contents.

For more info, go to MediaWiki Help: Formatting

Tables of Contents

MediaWiki adds a table of contents at the top of the page when you have four or more headers.
To change this behavior, at the top of the page, add: 

__NOTOC__ 	Hides the table of contents (TOC). 	
__FORCETOC__    Forces the table of contents to appear at its normal position (before the first header).
__TOC__ 	Places a table of contents at the word's current position (overriding __NOTOC__).

For more info, go to MediaWiki Manual: Table of contents or MediaWiki Help: Magic words

They can contain blocks of text, such as commonly used terms, Wiki tables and uploaded images. You should use templates if a term, table or image will be repeated across multiple pages. The template can be referenced by surrounding the template name (minus the leading "Template:" string) with {{double brackets}}.
