Beyond using the editor, there are a few tips for adding internal links, which are described on MediaWiki help.
- The most important trick is the piped internal links. For example writing [[Turbulence spectrum| turbulence page]] which link the words turbulence page to an internal page called Turbulence spectrum.
Inserting special symbols and math
Wrap your Tex code with <math>\varepsilon</math> to render [math]\displaystyle{ \varepsilon }[/math]
Creating tables
Tables can be converted from a spreadsheet (or latex code) into a MediaWiki by copy and pasting it into this handy online tool using their file menu. You can also paste Mediawiki, markdown or HTML code into the tool. You can then manipulate the table's or cell's format and generate code in different languages (csv, standard excel tables, MediaWiki and TeX tables, and more).
