So, i just started looking around on media wiki after installing it on a my server.

I se someting on other wikis i cant replicate. let's say i got to a random wiki and view the sounce of a page, in there i se no text, only this.



where all the text was supposed to be, what do that short b it of code do, and how can i do someting simillair to write loads of text and just publish it byt writing that bit of code in a page.
