You made it. It is yours to use. For free. That means you can use it, adapt it, or share what you find on Wikimedia sites. Just do not write your own bio, or copy/paste it into your homework.

2 We respect your data and privacy

We do not sell your email address or any of your personal information to third parties. More information about our privacy practices are available at the Wikimedia Foundation privacy policy, donor privacy policy, and data retention guidelines.

3 People like you keep Wikipedia accurate

Readers verify the facts. Articles are collaboratively created and edited by a community of volunteers using reliable sources, so no single person or company owns a Wikipedia article. The Wikimedia Foundation does not write or edit, but you and everyone you know can help.

1. Wikitext, also known as Wiki markup or Wikicode, consists of the syntax and keywords used by the MediaWiki software to format a page. To learn how to see this hypertext markup, and to save an edit, see Help:Editing. Generally, coding can be copied and pasted, without writing new code.
2. For single citations, clicking on the caret (^) takes you to the point of citation in the main text.For multiple citations, the links back to the main text can be distinguished in various ways, depending on MediaWiki:Cite references link many format and MediaWiki:Cite references link many format backlink labels: the default is to have double-numerical superscripts, e.g.
3. Using the Markdown plugin. Then just convert the markdown files to MediaWiki via Pandoc. Or rather using Pandoc through a Sublime Text plugin. The settings for Sublime Text Pandoc by tbfisher (after installation) are under Preferences = Package Settings = Pandoc = Settings - User.
4. Add a page to a category Category:Category name place near the bottom of a page: shows 'Category name' in a bar at bottom when the page is previewed or published: Link to a category or file.

4 Not all wikis are Wikimedia

The word “wiki” refers to a website built using collaborative editing software. Projects with no past or existing affiliation with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation, such as Wikileaks and wikiHow, also use the term. Although these sites also use 'wiki' in their name, they have nothing to do with Wikimedia.

Collaborative projects are the core of the Wikimedia movement.

Our volunteers build tools, share photos, write articles, and are working to connect all the knowledge that exists.

NEWS — NOTICIAS

See what we have been up to

The Wikimedia Foundation today started a fundraising campaign on Wikipedia in several Latin American countries, starting in Brazil and continuing in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay. Until the end of May, banners will be appearing on Wikipedia in these countries, asking readers to consider contributing with a donation. You may see these messages….

Think of a historical event, one you learned about in school. Maybe an expedition, a treaty, or a speech. How about a years-long atrocity, or a record-breaking achievement? When you picture this event, who are the central characters? Now, ask yourself if you know the women’s side of the story. For as long as written….

Help us unlock the world’s knowledge.

As a nonprofit, Wikipedia and our related free knowledge projects are powered primarily through donations.

Mark up articles with hAtom 0.1

The microformats wiki—which runs MediaWiki with a custom skin—uses microformats in the mark-up of the page. Namely, each wiki page (article) is marked up using hAtom, providing common structure for titles, authors, content and so forth.

Mediawiki - Is There Any Way To Convert Wikitext To Markdown ...

That is, to mark-up an event, person, business and so forth as part of an article, is super-cumbersome. This is something no-one has solved yet, and requires an update to the wiki shorthand mark-up mechanism to allow people to add `class`, `rel` and `rev` attributes. Some attempts have made toward this: The Link Attributes extension for MediaWiki augments the link syntax to allow class, rel and rev. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Link_Attributes

I've also been working on a possible Markdown extension for the same purpose, that might look something like this, using braces for attributes:

To produce:

TWiki could actually evolve in a similar way:

It would also be necessary to allow adding class attributes to arbitrary blocks (p, div, spans etc.)
