Updating WikiMedia Formatting

Many articles in this wiki still have the WikiMedia formatting and need to be updated to modern standards. Googling WikiMedia formatting yields good information but here are some common conversions.

  • Headings have the equal sign before and after them. The 1 equal sign equals the level of the header. For example: =Heading= converts to a Heading 1 formatting.
  • Bullets are represented as the star symbol *
  • Numbered lists have the hash symbol #

Links are a special case. We may have the files on record in archives or they may even be in the media library and just need to be linked. Image links have the same issue. When in doubt leave the file name in place and tag the post as “Needs link update”

External links just need to be copied and formatted correctly as hyperlinks.
