Be messy
An unfinished or messy page is infinitely better than no page at all. Even if you never come back to it, someone else surely will. Heck, this very guide started as barely more than an outline!
Formatting
In addition to standard MediaWiki formatting, note the following.
Italics
Mark emphasized text with <em>emphasized text</em>
.
Mark Toki Pona text with Template:tp. For other languages, see the next section.
{{tp|mu}}
outputs mu.Mark variables with <var>variable name</var>
.
For other uses, like the titles of longform works, you can use ''italic text''
.
Language
Mark the language of non-English text with Template:lang.
{{lang|fr|''je parle bien''}}
outputs je parle bien. Hover to see the language name.Mark unitalicized Toki Pona text with Template:tok.
{{tp|tok}}
outputs tok.Titles
Mark a page title as italic or Toki Pona text using Template:Italic title, Template:tp title, or Template:tok
title according to the guidance above.
sitelen pona
Display sitelen Lasina or UCSUR codepoints as sitelen pona with Template:sp.
