From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is fictional. It is meant merely to illustrate all common markup you will need for a wikipedia article. Just click edit to see the page markup.
Note the article title/subject,
in this case "Blicket", is given as
soon as grammatically feasible,
in bold text
  ↓↓
The first occurence of a wikipedia
referenced word is often linked. 
This is what  makes wikipedia great. 
But later occurences are not linked, 
unless the article is really long, 
and that instance of the word is 
a few paragraphs removed from 
the previous linked instance. 
This prevents the reader 
↓↓from drowing in linked text. 
A blicket is a fictional word often used in cognitive science studies to judge the reaction of peoples brains to non-words. A paragraph or two of introduction should go here. The introduction should give a hurried reader an overview of what the subject is and be self contained, except for references to detail expanded upon given later.

Note that the first heading comes after the
introduction; also that headings are
capitalized like sentences, not titles.
It is best to leave underlining to the software.
Captions should be short

Most articles with multiple images alternate sides,
giving a more balanced and interesting appearance

Sections are logical units, each dealing with a particular aspect of the topic. It is best not to have too much explicit formatting in the text itself. By using subheadings etc. you let wikipedia take care of the formtting details. This keeps article appearances consistent and easily customizable.
