Custom markdown flavor

1. Summary tag (intended for one-time use)

2. Wikibox tag (intended for multiple visual examples)

Note

• Our Markdown format differs from Wikipedia's utter horrendousness.
• While we've automatically converted Wikipedia articles to our simplified format, some information may be missing. This project is meant to be a fun alternative, not a replacement or competitor to Wikipedia.
• Only administrators can create new articles. This helps maintain quality by building upon our existing collection of well-structured content.

Contributing

If you wish to contribute, you are free to do so. Please keep in mind:

• Don't submit pull requests that rewrite a big part of the project. Please create a GitHub issue and ask if such a rewrite is welcome before starting.
  • Examples of "big rewrites" include:
    • Changing the core architecture (programming language / structure)
    • Switching to a different framework or major library
  • Why this matters:
    • They may conflict with planned future changes
    • The maintainers might already be working on similar improvements
    • We don't want to waste your & our time
