Note: When we edit articles on Gynopedia, we sometimes use Wiki Markup Language (see example at right). It's kinda like HTML... but way easier. Basically, it's a way to provide formatting, links, and most other things that aren't pure text. So if you see quotation marks, equal signs or other weird formatting in the information below, it's actually  Wiki Markup Language. So you should copy and paste the text, exactly as it is written, directly into the 'Edit' view. See the image at right for an example.
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.


1. 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 image (at right) for example.
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 image (at right) for example.
