When a section is a summary of another article that provides a full exposition of the section, a link to the other article should appear immediately under the section heading. You can use the {{ Main }} template to generate a "Main article" link, in Wikipedia's "hatnote" style.
To create a heading without using the toolbar, put text between = signs; the number of = signs on each side of the text indicates the level: ==Heading== (Level 2) ===Subheading=== (Level 3) Text can be made bold or italic using the B and I buttons on the toolbar.
By default, there is no link to edit the lead section of a page, so the entire page must be edited. Lead section editing can be enabled through Preferences → Gadgets → Appearance → Add an [edit] link for the lead section of a page. You can also click "[edit]" at another section and manually change section=n in the url to section=0.
sources in the article will appear where {{reflist}} is put, typically under a level 2 section heading (see below) towards the bottom of the page; text between {{}} is for a template.
It is typically used as the space for the page number. In the earliest printed books it also contained the first words of the next page; in this case they preferred to place the page number in the page header, in the top margin. Because of the lack of a set standard, in modern times the header and footer are sometimes interchangeable.
Change the section headings to fit the new article (that generally means removing one equal sign from each side of every heading). Add one or more categories to the article (you'll want to use most, if not all of the categories on the parent article; you'll see the wikitext when you edit the final section of the parent article).
Unlike section headings, they often begin with or consist entirely of numbers (such as model numbers, dates, version numbers, etc.). Table headers do not automatically generate link anchors the way section headings do; use the {} template to turn a header's text (or part of it) into an anchor.
When editing in the visual mode, write the section name and use the "Paragraph" button in the toolbar to select the heading or sub-heading style you want to apply to it. When editing in "Edit source" mode, place = signs around the heading's text, for example: ==Main heading== ===Sub-heading=== ==New main heading== See Help:Section for more details.
