Of course, just plain text doesn't make for very useful and readable wiki pages. The next part of this guide describes the wiki markup language.

== Discussion ==
If you feel a certain page requires discussion, each page comes with it's own discussion page. This is really just a regular wiki page, so adding comments to it works exactly the same way as adding to any other wiki article. If you want to sign the message with your name, then end your message with four tildes. <nowiki>( ~~~~ )</nowiki>
If a page is protected and locked from editing by normal users, please use that page's Discussion tab to propose simple or obvious changes. This makes it straightforward for a manager or director to copy the wiki code, if provided. More complex discussions about page content typically occur [http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewforum.php?f=54 in the Forums].

==== Redirect ====
A topic could be known by different titles, therefore a Redirect on these titles to the available topic can be very useful to find it.
<pre><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Target]]</nowiki>
<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[Target#Section]]</nowiki></pre>
