1. '''What's wiki markup?''' When editing articles on Gynopedia, you'll sometimes need to use use wiki markup (see example at right). It's kinda like HTML... but way easier. Basically, it's a way to provide everything that's not pure text -- formatting, links, image specifications -- on the page. So, for example, if you see quotation marks or multiple equal signs, that's wiki markup. Make sure to copy and paste the markup exactly as you see it in the examples we provide below. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. For reference, check out the example (see right) of a new Melbourne page with wiki markup. For further details, check out this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wiki_markup Wiki Markup Language] article.
1. '''What's wikitext?''' When editing articles on Gynopedia, you'll sometimes need to use wikitext. You can see an example of wikitext in the image we've provided. If you're familiar with HTML, you can think of wikitext as a very basic form of HTML. If you're not familiar with HTML, that's okay! You'll find that wikitext is very straightforward. Basically, it's how we format wiki pages with things like headers, image insertions, and captions.
* Tip: If you plan to use any of the wikitext that we've provided on this page, make sure to copy and paste the wikitext ''exactly'' as you see it.  
* Example: For reference, check out the example of a new Melbourne page with wikitext. You can see triple quotation marks (this makes text bold) and equal signs (this creates headers). For further details and examples, check out this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext wikitext Language] article.


2. '''Distinguishing Between Cities:''' To distinguish between two cities with the same name (for example, Los Angeles, USA and Los Angeles, Chile), please add this markup at the top of the page when in 'Edit' view (see below). You'll want to specify the country (e.g. United States), state or region (California) and city (Los Angeles). Note that "state" can also apply to region (for example, Luzon region of the Philippines).

4. '''Naming Pages with Non-English Characters:''' If you are adding a page that has non-English characters (for example, Malmö), please go ahead and include those non-English characters. As a general rule, the pages should be written in Latin script but can include all characters. However, be sure to create a standard English language-only page (for example, "Malmo") that redirects users to the correct page (Malmö). That way, users who type in either "Malmö" or "Malmo" can go to the same page. For details on redirecting pages, please check out [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect instructions] from Wikipedia.
