**'''External links:''' Other links can be done with using a single bracket. In this instance, a vertical line is not necessary to divide the name from the link. However, the full address is needed to link to a page. For example, to link to the Bulbagarden Forums, typing <code><nowiki>[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/index.php Bulbagarden Forums]</nowiki></code> would result in [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/index.php Bulbagarden Forums]. External links are primarily used to cite sources and to link to any related Web sites. | **'''External links:''' Other links can be done with using a single bracket.

* [[ | * [[File:001Bulbasaur.png|thumb|100px|Bulbasaur]] '''Images:''' Images are added in a manner similar to links. To add an image, link to the image's name, but add '''File:''' before the name. For example, <code><nowiki>[[File:Pokébuck sign.gif]]</nowiki></code> will add in a commonly used image, [[File:Pokébuck sign.gif]]. Formatting attributes can be added to an image as well, divided with vertical lines. For example, <nowiki>[[File:001Bulbasaur.png|thumb|100px|Bulbasaur]]</nowiki> will add the image to the right. All images are uploaded to [http://archives.bulbagarden.net Bulbagarden Archives]. | ||
**If the image is for some reason hosted elsewhere, just insert the image's link. For example, entering <code><nowiki>http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y114/Encyclopika/Bulbasaur.jpg</nowiki></code> would result in the image showing. Do not link to images that do not belong to you or that you do not have permission to use. | **If the image is for some reason hosted elsewhere, just insert the image's link.

* '''Headlines:''' These are not to be confused with traditional news article headlines. Wiki articles are divided by levels of headlines, much like a large outline. These are indicated by equals signs on either side of the headline text. There are six levels of headlines, with one equals sign being the first and highest level, which would look like <code><nowiki>=Headline text=</nowiki></code>, and six equals signs being the sixth and lowest level, which would look like <code><nowiki>======Headline text======</nowiki></code>. First- and second-level headlines are underlined. Text size decreases with lower level headlines. | * '''Headlines:''' These are not to be confused with traditional news article headlines.
