Ljprice

{{helpme}} I just added my first wiki talk section to the article on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I added a lot of text and I did not get the format I expected. I have read the wiki edits how to page, but I am confused about how much formatting I need to put in with the wiki codes and how much the wiki editor does for me with the buttons on the edit page. I know HTML, but I am not used to the wiki style codes yet.

Thanks in advance Ljprice 03:15, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Greetings Ljprice, I am checking into your edits to see how I can help you. --Skywolf 03:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

I see by the talk page that your text was put into a 'code box', and I'm assuming you wanted this text just indented. If that was the case, you may put ':' at the beginning of a line to indent it, you may include multiple ':'s to indent even more, such as the following example:

example1

example2

example3

You can get an idea by going to the edit button on a page and check out the format that others used to write with. Just remember that if you wish to play around you should use the Sandbox.

Please reply to this if I did not answer a question you had about your edits, also include more about what your intent was as well. --Skywolf 03:28, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Anatoli Boukreev and the Everest Controversy

I liked your comments and agree with you. I'm going to edit the article as you suggested, and refer readers to the Everest article if they want to get into a controversy or two.
