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

Anytime you repeat the same information across multiple pages use a template. For example when a page is deprecated, we display the same message across the top on each page by adding that template. This is also done for commonly used terms.

{{ DeprecatedPage }}

To find or edit a templates type template: then your desired template name into the search.
