This is only a basic run through of wikicode. I have no desire to go through every advanced feature, since it's all documented on the "real" wikipedia anyway. If you <i>do</i> want to learn more advance techniques, I suggest you try exploring what's available on <a class="external text" href="https://www.google.com/" rel="nofollow">this website</a>.
