Note that redirects to sections do not work yet. #REDIRECT [[United States#History]] will redirect to the United States page, but not to any particular section on it. It is possible this feature will be implemented in future, so such redirects could be used now for future compatibility. |
#REDIRECT [[United States]] |
Link to a page on the same subject in another language using a link like [[language code:Title]]. It does not matter where you put these links while editing as they always show up in the same place when you save the page, but placement at the end of the edit box is recommended. See Wikipedia:Interlanguage links and list of languages and codes. |

A picture: [[Image:Wiki.png]] or, with alternate text [[Image:Wiki.png|jigsaw globe]] or, floating to the right side of the page and with a caption. [[Image:Wiki.png|right|jigsaw globe]] or, floating to the right side of the page without a caption. [[Image:Wiki.png|right|]] Note the extra | after the word right. This is to make sure the image floats to the right side of the page, and not so that the alternate text is "right".
