We were all new to the wiki once. And sometimes I had trouble getting something to work on this wiki. Like potholing and spoiler tagging.

So what were some markups you had trouble with/are having trouble with on this wiki?

You got some dirt on you. Here's some more!

Hyphenated titles, though I figured out how to do those very quickly. Nowadays, if I need to look up some syntax, I just look it up on Text-Formatting Rules.

Potholes, single wikiwords, and, most of all, the ptitle markup.

Now? What G-Mon said. It's rare I need to use anything I don't know how to, though.

It took me a while to figure out that titles with hyphens don't need to be ptitled.

And I think this one got most of us at least one: [[{{Pothole}} link text]]

Why would you want to hottip a folder? What page? I'll take a look at it.
