			==Summary==

			(<nowiki><nowiki></nowiki> tags have been applied to the text below so that wiki markup appears literally.)

			*<nowiki>Links to other pages on the same wiki are formatted [[page title]]; if you have plurals something like [[gamevar]]s shows up neatly formatted; the pipe '\|' character can be used to change the displayed text (the example from the first paragraph: [[palette (environment)\|palette swaps]])</nowiki>
			*<nowiki>URLs can have custom text in the format [http://www.url.com link title]</nowiki>
			*<nowiki>[[Wikipedia:article]] will link to a Wikipedia article</nowiki>
			*<nowiki>Script files and code can be formatted by putting a blank space before each line. If you have an empty line in the code, add a space to it too, or the code blocks will appear separate. Some examples use the <pre></pre> tags but I discourage this because it disables wiki formatting within the code.</nowiki>
			<nowiki>Unordered lists, useful for sets of links, can be made by prepending each line with an asterisk ''. (Ordered lists use '#'.) Multiple list symbols can be used for sublevels and they can be mixed and matched.</nowiki>
			*<nowiki>Article text is most readable when it is simply left in paragraphs in the body of the article.</nowiki>
			*<nowiki>In most cases the "----" can be better served by a level two ==section heading==, and it is always made redundant by one right below it.</nowiki>
