Spy vs Spy Wiki
This is a sandbox space

Sandbox spaces may have extensive or complex code added which may be in a partial state of development. You are permitted to openly edit below while abiding by site policy. Being a shared resource, you must not interfere with and respect the editing workspaces of others. Staff are exempt and may make any changes they deem appropriate.

  • Remember to separate your workspace from others by typing ---- before and after it.
  • If you are having any issues, please contact a staff member.

Editing techniques

  • To edit a page, select the Edit button at its header.
  • To preview edits before publishing, select either the mobile or desktop preview buttons. Be sure to check for any mistakes!
  • Links can be created between articles by inserting a title between double brackets like [[article]].
  • Templates can be transcluded onto pages by inserting a title between double braces like {{template}}.
    • Inserting t| like {{t|template}} will convert the template into an alternate link to its source page.
    • Inserting subst: like {{subst:template}} will paste a template's exact code onto a page, replacing the transclusion.
  • Headers can be created by inserting text between multiple equals signs '=', from two to six on either side, with more consecutive signs creating a lower level header.
  • Certain characters can be used at the start of lines for formatting emphasis.
    • A bullet list uses asterisks '*' at the start of each item, with consecutive asterisks producing greater indentation, as is demonstrated by this list item.
    • A numbered list uses hashes '#' at the start of each item.
    • A bold subheading uses semicolons ';' at the start of each item.
    • Indentation uses full colons ':' at the start of each item, with consecutive full colons producing greater indentation.
  • Put apostrophes around words or phrases for formatting emphasis.
    • Two apostrophes, like ''italic text'' will create italic text.
    • Three apostrophes, like '''bold text''' will create bold text.
    • Five apostrophes, like '''''bold italic text''''' will combine the above to create bold italic text.
  • Using <br> will force a line break within text or code.
  • Using <br clear="both"> will force a line break that also affects floating elements.
  • Using <nowiki></nowiki> tags will prevent what is inside the tags from formatting, demonstrated in some of these examples when viewed in source mode.
  • Using <pre></pre> tags will produce preformatted text within a container.
  • Embedded tables will not work in certain templates. For them to do so, their Wikitext syntax of '|', '{' and '}' must be replaced with {{!}}, {{(}} and {{)}} respectively.

This page is for any tests.

Welcome to the sandbox!

Anyone can edit this.

Simple Editing[]

To edit a page, click on the "edit" tab, usually near the top of the page. Then, edit the box in the page. Feel free to practice here, on this page. It's here just for you to practice.

A blank line indicates a paragraph separation.

You can link to another page by putting the name or title of that page in double square brackets. [[Main Page]] becomes Main Page.

Simple Formatting[]

Create headers by putting text inbetween repeated equal (=) signs. The more =, the lower level the heading is.

Create a bulleted list by starting each item with an asterisk (*)

  • It's ok to make editing mistakes
  • You can preview your work before saving it
  • Even after saving it, you or someone else can edit it again to make it even better

Formatting for Emphasis[]

Put single quote marks around words or phrases for formatting emphasis.

Two single quotes, like ''italics'' will create italics.

Three single quotes, like '''bold text''' will create bold text.


Other stuff...

If you know HTML or CSS formatting commands, they can also be used in this wiki. One useful HTML command is <br /> which creates a line break.

If you want to show what a command looks like, rather than actually implementing the command, surround it with the nowiki command.
