===Creating Sections===
 
If you are writing anything longer than a few paragraphs, there will be a good chance that it reads better if split into sections, and has a table of contents at the top (as with this page).
 
If you split your page into sections, editing will be easier, as you can select to edit just one section (and any sub-sections), instead of using the '''Edit''' tab which shows the entire page in the editing window.
 
*All you need do is mark your headings appropriately.
**Only those with administrative access can edit this page, so standard users do not see an "Edit" tab for this page
*WikiText will then automatically create the sections, deal with all the formatting of headings, and make the page look good.
**If you create more than three sections, the Wiki will automatically generate a contents page at''just the top of the page.
before your first heading.''
**If you want some text to be seen before the table of contents, don't use a heading before that text.
 
To force creation of a table of contents on the right hand side of the page (so letting the reader see your introductory text before this) use <nowiki>{{TOCright}}</nowiki> as this page does.
