 white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; 
 white-space: -pre-wrap;

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

Categories

Adding a Category to a Page

[[Category:Help]]

Adding a Category to a Page with a Different Label

[[Category:Help|Help category]]

Adding a Link to a Category Page

[[:Category:Help|Help category]]

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}}.
