==Tables of Contents==
MediaWiki adds a table of contents at the top of the page when you have four or more [[Wiki_Editing_CheatSheet#Heading_Levels|headers]].<br/>
To change this behavior, at the top of the page, add:
<nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> Hides the table of contents (TOC).
<nowiki>__FORCETOC__</nowiki> Forces the table of contents to appear at its normal position (before the first header).
==Hyperlinks==
===Links to Internal Pages===
To add a link to '''Main Page''':
<nowiki>[[Main Page]]</nowiki>
To add a link to '''Main Page''' which displays as ''different text'':
<nowiki>[[Main Page|</nowiki>''different text''<nowiki>]]</nowiki>
===Links to External Pages===
To add a link to www.smartsimple.com
<nowiki>http://www.smartsimple.com</nowiki>

==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 <nowiki>{{double brackets}}</nowiki>.
