Editing preferences can be changed in Special:Preferences.
The best source of editing info is wikipedia.org's Help:Editing. Otherwise, read on for the basics.
== Headline Text ==
Triple (single) quotes for bold text.
Ex: '''Bold Text'''
Double (single) quotes for italic text.
Ex: ''Italic Text''
Quintuple (single) quotes for bold italic text.
Ex: '''''Bold Italic Text'''''
To force a carriage return, use <br>.
Ex: <br>
To force the wiki to ignore formatting, use the <nowiki> and </nowiki> tags.
Ex: <nowiki>'''Non Formatted Text'''</nowiki>
Finally, a horizontal line is four dashes.
Ex: ----
Linking
Internal Links are links to catagories and entries within the wiki. Use double brackets with the entry name.
Ex: Special:Prefences, Main Page.
External Links follow a URL to either an external website or an entry within the wikki. They can be labeled and use single brackets (see example):
Ex: [http://www.errantstory.com Errant Story] becomes Errant Story. (Note that external links are given that external linky icon-thing).
Buttons
Of course, you could just use the buttons provided with the default editing interface, but where's the fun in that?
