Emphasis should be used sparingly and consistently. Avoid mixing styles excessively, and reserve bold italics for special cases where strong emphasis is genuinely needed.

Section Headings

There are five levels of section headings available in wikitext. Level 1 should not be used — it is reserved for the page title, which is automatically displayed at the top of every page.

Use equal signs to mark the beginning and end of a heading. Do not include any text after the final equal sign on the line.

Example:

== Level 2 ==
=== Level 3 ===
==== Level 4 ====
===== Level 5 =====
====== Level 6 ======

Headings help organize content, create a table of contents automatically, and improve readability for both editors and readers.

Emphasis

Wikitext provides simple markup for emphasizing text. You can italicize, bold, or combine both styles for strong emphasis. These are especially useful for clarity in documentation and highlighting key terms or phrases.
