Many wikis use templates to format references according to a specific standard. If a template is used on a wiki that does not yet support the cite menu or is not included among those commonly used templates, you will find that when you attempt to edit the template in the template editor, its contents turn blue.

Click on the icon (puzzle piece) to edit the content of the template in the template mini-editor.

Editing mathematical formulae
The formula editor is still under development, so on some wikis you may need to opt-in to the formula editor to use it. To do this, click on "" in your personal tools in the top right of any wiki page, check the box next to "", and press "" at the bottom of the page.



Editing poems and other special items
Some items, such as poems and musical scores aren't yet supported by VisualEditor. Until they are, you will need to edit the source wikitext directly if you want to alter or add these.



Keyboard shortcuts
Many editors are used to entering wikitext directly, especially bold, italics and wikilinks. Keyboard shortcuts allow to quickly insert similar formatting without having to click the toolbar buttons. Common general shortcuts, and ones used by other editors, function in VisualEditor:
