Wikitext is a simplified markup language that is used to format and structure text and other data.
While HTML is the most common markup language for web pages, Wikitext is used in wiki systems. Like HTML, it uses tags to mark parts of text or other data.
How do I use Wikitext?
When you edit a page, you can switch between visual editing and source editing using the editor toolbar.
Wikitext can be entered in source editing mode. When you are in visual editing mode, VisualEditor inserts Wikitext "behind the scenes". If VisualEditor doesn't format elements on a page correctly, you can always switch to source editing to correct the issues directly in Wikitext.
Examples of Wikitext
Here are some typical examples of Wikitext:
Text formatting
- This is
'''bold''' - This is
''italic'' - This is
<u>underlined</u>
Structuring
- This is a
==Heading== - This is an
*unordered list element - Table:
{| class="wikitable" |- !header 1 !header 2 |- |row 1, cell 1 |row 1, cell 2 |- |row 2, cell 1 |row 2, cell 2 |}

This link opens the referenced page in edit mode in a new tab.
