Options include either of Wikipedia's own template-based Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, and any other well-recognized citation system. Parameters in the citation templates should be accurate.
Use of italics should conform to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting § Italic type. Do not use articles (a, an, or the) as the first word (Economy of the Second Empire, not The economy of the Second Empire), unless it is an inseparable part of a name (The Hague) or of the title of a work (A Clockwork Orange, The Simpsons).

The format is to surround the hidden text with "<!--" and "-->" and may cover several lines, e.g.: An example of hidden comments This won't be visible except in "edit" mode. --> Another way to include a comment in the wiki markup uses the {{ Void }} template, which can be abbreviated as {{ ^ }} .

The Source Editor lets users toggle on 'wikitext highlighting' which uses different colours to help differentiate article text from wikitext. The VisualEditor option is intended as a user-friendly, "What You See Is What You Get" ( WYSIWYG ) editing aid, allowing one to edit pages without the need to learn wikitext markup.
Bold text is stylistically offset from other text without conveying extra importance. The most common use of boldface is to highlight the article title, and often synonyms, in the lead section. Do not use bold text for emphasis. Use ''' to open and close bold text.
