Heading Levels

Level 1 is for page name.

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__).

Categories

You can categorize pages and files by adding one or more Category tags to the content text. These tags create links at the bottom of the page that take you to the list of all pages in that category, which makes it easy to browse related articles.

Templates

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 {{double brackets}}.

Example Templates

• {{UTA}} - returns
• {{GUA}} - returns Global User Administrator
• {{LUA}} - returns Local User Administrator
• {{XML}} - returns XML custom field
• {{ROSV}} - returns Read Only – System Variables
• {{WPV}} - returns Web Page View
• {{l1}} - returns Level 1
• {{l2}} - returns Level 2
• {{CopyIcon}} - returns
