Here’s the same guide formatted in MediaWiki markup for use as a Wikipedia-style post:

= MediaWiki Markup Guide =

Here’s a quick guide to the major MediaWiki markup syntax, broken down into easy-to-understand sections:

== 1. Headings ==
* Use equal signs (`=`) around text to create headings. More equal signs create smaller subheadings:
* `= Heading 1 =`
* `== Heading 2 ==`
* `=== Heading 3 ===`

== 2. Bold and Italic Text ==
* Use multiple single quotes for bold and italic:
* `''italic''` → ''italic''
* `'''bold'''` → '''bold'''
* `'''''bold and italic'''''` → '''''bold and italic'''''

== 3. Links ==
* **Internal links:** Link to other pages within the wiki using double square brackets.
* `[[PageName]]` → links to a page called "PageName"
* `[[PageName|Displayed Text]]` → custom display text for a link

* **External links:** Direct link to external websites.
* `[http://example.com]` → shows the URL as the link
* `[http://example.com Displayed Text]` → custom text for the link

== 4. Lists ==
* **Bullet lists:** Use an asterisk `*` at the beginning of a line.
<nowiki>
* Item 1
* Item 2
</nowiki>

* **Numbered lists:** Use a hash `#` at the beginning of a line.
<nowiki>
# First item
# Second item
</nowiki>

* **Indented lists:** Add colons `:` for indentation.
<nowiki>
: Indented text
</nowiki>

== 5. Tables ==
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Syntax !! Example
|-
| `!` || Header
|-
| `|` || Data cell
|-
| `||` || Separate cells
|}

== 6. Images and Media ==
* Insert images using `[[File:ImageName.jpg|options]]`
* Example with options: `[[File:Example.jpg|thumb|A caption]]` → creates a thumbnail with a caption.

== 7. Categories ==
* Add pages to categories using `[[Category:CategoryName]]` at the bottom of the page.
* Example: `[[Category:Physics]]`

== 8. Redirects ==
* To redirect a page, use `#REDIRECT [[TargetPageName]]` on the first line of the page.

== 9. References and Footnotes ==
* Cite sources by placing text within `<ref>...</ref>` tags.
* Create a reference list at the end of the page with `<references />`.

== 10. Templates ==
* Templates are reusable content blocks. Include them by wrapping the template name in double curly braces.
* `{{TemplateName}}` inserts the template's content.
* You can pass parameters to templates: `{{TemplateName|param=value}}`.

== 11. Comments ==
* Add comments in the source code with ``. These won’t appear on the final page.

== 12. Variables ==
* Special variables like `{{CURRENTYEAR}}` display the current year, and `{{PAGENAME}}` shows the current page name.

This markup will display the guide in a Wikipedia-like style when posted on a MediaWiki page.
