Line 119:
== Section Headers ==
MediaWiki is capable of displaying five levels of headers, analogous to HTML's "H2" through "H6". (The equivalent to H1 is reserved for page titles.) To mark text as a section header of a given level, put that many equals signs in a row before and after the text, with a single space before and after the header text. Also, there should be nothing else on a line that has header text.
The headers are designed to be "nested"; that is, an H2 should come before the H3s that are subsets of the same topic, an H3 should come before the H4s that are subsets of the same subtopic, and so on. While you won't break the wiki by ignoring this, not nesting the headers as expected does nasty things to some screen-reader software and thus limits how much of the wiki blind people can access. Besides, it looks ugly. (Due to a bug in our import software back in 2013, a lot of pages were brought in with their header levels ''inverted''. Almost all of them have been fixed over the ensuing years, but occasionally one pops up that we missed (especially in Characters subpages); if you come across one of these, please fix it!)
