Wikis in general

The software behind IFWiki is called MediaWiki. You can edit pages with a combination of wikitext (a markup language) and HTML. Two pages on IFWiki (which are largely themselves copied and pasted from the MediaWiki website) discuss this markup: Help:Editing and Help:Table.

You may also find the The "Help:Contents" page on MediaWiki's website useful.
