Help:Editing cheatsheet

This page is a cheat sheet to help users learn the basics of editing and formatting. The Adventure Communist uses a markup language called wikitext to create particular elements of the page. This language is used on websites that run the MediaWiki software, including Wikipedia and all Wikia sites, and is designed to be a simplified alternative to HTML.
