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__).

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.
