Hi, I would like to extend wiki markups with this simple one:
Wiki text: *something cool* ==> html output: <em>something cool</em>
What is the easiest way? Is it possible without extension? Any idea where to start?
Many thanks :)

It might be helpful to have a help page on how to construct a table, like the oh-so-pretty one on this page, ferinstance. If such a page exists, I cannot find it; there should be a link to it from this page if it does exist but is simply hiding from me. - UniqueCrash5 15:51, 6 December 2006

This can be solved by adding 3 lines of CSS to cover most (if not all) browsers. .columns { -webkit-column-count:3; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */ -moz-column-count:3; /* Firefox */ column-count:3;
I've added a class definition into my Common.css so that anyone can add 3 column divs to a wiki page anytime they want, without having to redefine the CSS inline as such.

Not that if you used level1 tags and need to have h1 being output as h2, you can make this patch by editing file includes/Linker.php. Replace:
return "<h$level$attribs"
. "$fallback$html"
. $link
. "</h$level>";
with
return "<h".($level+1)."$attribs"

I think the formatting should allow an alternative to using the <br> HTML tag for making list items span multiple lines. One of the things that many people like about wikis is the lack of HTML tags for most formatting. That makes formatting seem "simpler", at least for people who don't know HTML.

Dear,
I am having MediaWiki v1.11.0 on my local network.. and whenever i put some “closing” MTML tags in my page like </div> without its “opening” tag, the “closing” tag is displayed as is (converted to normal text and not acting as HTML tag). My wiki is in Arabic language. This usually happen since i have some templates that has the opening tag and the other template has the closing tag. something like:
{{Header}} = <div>
{{Body}} = Bla Bla Bla
{{Footer}} = </div>
then having a page with the contents
{{Header}}{{Body}}{{Footer}}
end up like this displayed in that page.
Bla Bla Bla</div>
Is this a bug?! or a sitting or something else? please help. --212.71.37.74 12:28, 14 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
I've been fighting with MediaWiki to create a template for showing the contents for a linux config file. The template basically shows a div containing the filename and an area showing the contents of that file.
Here's where the problems begin... Normally a pre tag would be the best scenario for this as the text file can be pasted in without having to add break tags.
e.g. <pre>{{{2}}}</pre>
However since MediaWiki parses HTML tags it sees the pre tag and then ignore the wiki code inside the pre tag.
Round two: My next attempt was to put it in a div tag. <div style="font-family: monospace">{{{2}}}</div>. Now since this was a linux config file comments begin with a # character. MediaWiki Was seeing this as a Numbered List and formatting it as such. Also since this was no longer preformatted text the text had to be modified to include a line break at the end of every line. the nowiki tag obviously cannot be used to fix this problem as the {{{2}}} parameter would not get parsed.
Round three: In the end I had to rewrite the data to as it was being inputted as a parameter to include the nowiki tag and line breaks. Leading a mess.
Here's now how the template is being called:
{{Box File|/target/etc/apt/sources.list| <nowiki>deb http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted universe multiverse </nowiki><br />
<nowiki>deb-src http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted universe multiverse</nowiki><br />

''Italic'' for Italic.Reply
There are a couple of workarounds. The simplest solution is probably not to depend on templates and paste the raw text directly, e.g.:
<div>my html goes here # my other stuff
Or alternatively use nowiki from within Extension:Scribunto to prevent the argument from expanding. Finally, another solution is to create a page for the content, paste it there, and then transclude it with a parser function, e.g.: {{msgnw:User:Boo/boo.txt}}. This can be even better if you change the contentmodel of the page (boo.txt) to be simply "text". 13:13, 5 January 2018 (UTC)
For some reason, I am getting extra single quotation marks when I save something. Assume I make something bold, i.e., surround it with 3 sets of single quotes. When I save the page, it becomes bold, italic and quoted (6 sets of quotes). If I edit and save again, the number of single quotes around each marked up item doubles. I presume that I have some setting or other which causes this. Anyone have any ideas? Susan 12:00, 28 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
<nowiki> tag to stop any markup, including HTML tags, or use any other quotation marks, like ‘‘This’’, without formatting markup, or use "This" , also prevents emphasizes (the Bold and Italic).Reply
I tried to use a <script> command in order to embed a google document table gadget in a mediawiki page. Although we changed $wgRawHtml = true (it is a closed wiki, and we greatly trust all our 15 users), the <script> command was not interpreted and the source code appeared on the wiki-page instead. it took me hours to find out that apparently, the <script> command has to be embedded in a <html> environment in order to be interpreted:
... Wikitext ...
<html>
<script ...> ... </script>
</html>
... Wikitext ...
why this? which html-commands are interpreted without <html> environment and which ones are not? i could not find any documentation on it, and i think it is important to be documented here!
So I suggest to make a table of all html commands, and note for each command:

The part about lists doesn't explain how to end a n-level list item and continue with the containing (n-1)-level item without creating a new (n-1)-level item, such as this:
- Item 1 - item 1.1 - item 1.2 continuing item 1 - Item 2
This can be done in plain html, so I guess there must be a way to do it in wiki syntax. If not, this should definitely be mentioned in the docs (and fixed in the implementation, but this is not the place to discuss that).
- Item 1 is for Markdown, not Wikimarkup.

The contents list is automatically generated if more than 4 headings. This is usually very useful, and each user can hide. However, it would be useful to be able to suppress this, either because where it is automatically generated or to provide an alternative.
The case I currently have is headings which are the alphabet, and all 26 do not appear without scrolling because of an opening description. I can create a single line index at the top of the page but still have the other contents list, which looks badly designed. (I can also repeat the single line index later in the page to help navigation) Something like the "hiddencat" ability would be great, but can't find any reference to this as an existing feature.
Note that I do not want to use a Category because of the details under each letter, or as separate pages to allow the user to scroll down

Some Wikipedia lists are long and narrow, eg. List of Pinewood Studios productions. It would be nice to have an option to convert them into a tabular grid list, which I think I can be done with just CSS2, eg li {display:inline-block;width:75px}. See the result here on JSfiddle. This could be done easily by adding a <DIV id="listab"> tag at the beginning of the page, if it were supported by the global CSS. --Iantresman 20:40, 20 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but: I'm currently in the midst of setting up a small wiki for a gaming group, and need to transfer character sheets from a forum (PHPBB). For the most part, it's fairly straightforward, but some of the community members like to use images (Like this) as headings.
I'm essentially wondering if it's possible to create a header whose title/name doesn't actually appear in the body of the page, as trying to just make the text the same colour as the background makes things look lopsided.

The note in the Inserting_symbols section looks to be flipped.

The symbols are what are displayed. The character/HTML is what shows up when you hover.

I think MediaWiki Markup Language (MWML) would use “WYSIWYG-style” ordered list markup (just like in Markdown), instead of hashes.

Hi there. The fact that MediaWiki ignores single line breaks is proving to be the biggest single hurdle in the adoption of our private wiki by non-tech users. I can relate to that. All work-arounds (<br/>, double line break, lists, <poem>) seem suboptimal to me, and anyway they are just that, work-arounds.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but what is the historical reason for this design decision? I understand that it cannot be undone overnight without breaking existing contents, but is it not possible to optionaly change this behaviour? Are there really no extensions/mods that would in my view instantly improve MW's usability?

The Italic, Bold and Bold & Italic examples must not use the words "Italic," "Bold," or "Bold & Italic" in the example. It adds a variable: the new user doesn't know if the word "Italic" is required to make something italicized. Best practices is to have a single, short phrase (e.g., the brown dog) and repeat it for each example, thus demonstrating that it is the markings, not the words, that alters text.

... can someone place a link to how the formatting of pages in a namespace is controlled. For example, in Wikipedia, a category page e.g.:

... has very different elements (e.g. a list of subcategories) compared to a page in the main namespace e.g.:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_treatment
I've had a glance through the MediaWiki help and manual and it's still not clear to me how MediaWiki knows how to format the different types of pages and how it might be customized (e.g. suppose I want the display of subcategories to be removed from all category pages --- how to achieve that?).
