[edit] Math formulae and TeX markup
To force a math formula to full size, add \,\! (backslash comma backslash exclamation):
<math>a(1+e^2/2)</math> is a(1 + e2 / 2)
<math>a(1+e^2/2)\,\!</math> is 
See Wikipedia:TeX markup for more.
[edit] Table syntax
- For table syntax, see Help:Table#Guide to the pipe syntax
- {{prettytable}} and {{prettytable-center}}
- More flexibly, use:
- {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" align="right"
- where text-align can be left, center, justify, or right (left is default)
- and align can be left or right (center will not work)
- in theory you could use instead {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;float:left" but this allegedly breaks rendering at large font sizes.
- float would then be left or right (center still does not work)
- Centered tables can be achieved, but they will not float (no text will appear to either side):
- {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center;margin: 1em auto 1em auto"
In the examples below, the wiki code consists of the right-floating table, the left-floating table, the Lorem ipsum text, a centered table, and more Lorem ipsum.

[edit] Image borders
Two examples showing ways to put a border around an image, using the Wikimedia Commons current Belarus flag image (which is borderless):
<div style="background-color: #000000; padding: 1px; float: left">
[[Image:Flag_of_Belarus.png|240px|Flag of Belarus]]
</div>
{|
| style="background-color: #FFFFFF; padding: 0px; border: solid 1px #888888"|[[Image:Flag_of_Belarus.png|240px|Flag of Belarus]]
|}
Note that wikitables use a padding of 1 px by default.
[edit] Interwiki
Templates can contain interwiki links; this normally means all pages using the template will have the interwiki, which is usually a bad thing. To link just the templates across wikis, use:
<noinclude>
[[de:Vorlage:Korrekter Titel]]
[[en:Template:Wrongtitle]]
[[es:Plantilla:Título erróneo]]
[[fr:Modèle:titre incorrect]]
</noinclude>
- [[:fr:Cible française|Article in French]] to link to another language Wikipedia entry.
- [[wikt:Target|Target]] to link to English Wiktionary entry.
- [[wikt:fr:Cible|Cible]]to link to another language Wiktionary entry.
- [[m:Target|Target]] to link to Wikimedia entry.
- [[mw:Target|Target]] to link to MediaWiki entry.
- [[q:Target|Target]] to link to the English Wikiquote
- [[q:fr:Cible|Cible]] to link to another language Wikiquote
- For more, see m:Help:Interwiki linking.
- {{Coor title dms|56|6|31.14|N|74|17|49.29|W|type:landmark_region:CA}}
- <span style="font-variant:small-caps">small caps</span> (see also bsm and esm templates)
- {{ed|<template or page name>|}}
- {{stub}}
- #redirect [[correct page]]
- [http://etc caption text]
- <font id="name_of_anchor_without_spaces">anchor 1.</font>
- then: [[page title#name_of_anchor_without_spaces]]
When sections are defined (using ==), you can jump directly without need of an anchor, like this: [[page title#section title]]. See also Help:Section#Section_linking

[edit] Cross-references
Experimentally, we could have two templates:
- Template:Reflink
- [[{{PAGENAME}}#{{{1}}}|{{{2}}}]]
- Template:Reftarget
- <font id="{{{1}}}"></font>
Then one would mark the targets (in the References section, say) with {{reftarget|<label>}} and insert cross-references to those targets elsewhere as {{reflink|<label>|<text to link>}}. The cross-references would appear as links within the same page ('tween-page linking is already abundantly covered by the usual linking means, obviously).
Note that this does not work within namespaces (e.g. User: pages); in those cases, Template:reflink needs to be modified to read instead [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}#{{{1}}}|{{{2}}}]]. Such within-namespaces templates are unlikely to be needed, so at worst a secondary template could be created (e.g. "Template:reflink_ns").
Rooting through the Template: pages, I see {{Biohead}} and {{Bioxref}} follow a similar pattern. And I finally found {{ref}}, {{ref_label}}, {{note}} and {{note_label}}. They _label versions allow multiple links to a single note, but force the editor to pick the labels, which spoils the autonumbering purpose. Some mentions of AUTOINCREMENT which may need looking into. Very roughly, {{ref}} and {{note}} create mutual anchors that link to each other; {{ref}} uses the http linking mechanism to have the refs auto-numbered; {{note}} uses wikilinking to use a default character (^) or user-specified label. With a little tweaking, this is what I get:
- Template:Reflink
- <span class="reference"><sup id="ref_{{{1}}}{{{2|}}}" class="plainlinksneverexpand">[{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}}}#endnote_{{{1}}}{{{2|}}} {{{3|}}}]</sup></span>
- Template:Reftarget
- <cite id="endnote_{{{1}}}{{{2|}}}" style="font-style: normal;">[[#ref_{{{1}}}{{{2|}}}|'''<sup>{{{3|^}}}</sup>''']]</cite>
{{Reflink}} labels itself as "ref_" with required 1st parameter label, optional 2nd parameter as suffixes, and links to "note_" identically suffixed; the link is auto-numbered by default but accepts an optional 3rd parameter to replace that.
{{Reftarget}} does the same (labels itself "note_", suffixed) but displays a wikilink to "ref_", suffixed, using "^" for its default appearance, or optional 3rd parameter instead.
Better names for the templates may be {{Reflnk}} and {{Reftgt}}.
What is needed is some wiki-supplied way to obtain the "link number" by designating the link's anchor (e.g., given an anchor "ref_" suffixed, obtain the anchored link's number. Or maybe the enclosing span's "rendered contents". Sounds like something HTML/Wiki just can't do, but you never know...
