Very short sections and subsections clutter an article with headings and inhibit the flow of the prose. Short paragraphs and single sentences generally do not warrant their own subheadings. Headings follow a six-level hierarchy, starting at 1 and ending at 6. The level of the heading is defined by the number of equals signs on each side of the ...
A video screencast showing how to create wikilinks. This page explains how to make the wikilink, interwiki link, or external web link (as hyperlinks) connections on Wikipedia, which gives readers one-click access to other Wikipedia pages, other Wikimedia projects, and external websites.
Headings are hierarchical. The article's title uses a level 1 heading, so you should start with a level 2 heading (==Heading==) and follow it with lower levels: ===Subheading===, ====Subsubheading====, and so forth.

User subpages can be stumbled across by users unfamiliar with Wikipedia via Google (though not by Wikipedia's built-in search unless the searcher chooses to search in userspace). To avoid people mistaking your work in progress as an actual article, add {{Userspace draft}} or the magic word __NOINDEX__ to the top of your userpage.
Linking through hyperlinks is an important feature of Wikipedia. Internal links bind the project together into an interconnected whole.

Then select the namespace the page is in (from the pulldown menu), enter the pagename in the inbox with the caption Display pages with prefix, and press Show. If the page's name was ...
