This consists of normal characters like asterisks, apostrophes or equal signs which have a special function in the wiki, sometimes depending on their position. For example, to format a word in ''italic'', you include it in two pairs of apostrophes like <code><nowiki>''this''</nowiki></code>. | You can format your text by using wiki markup.

Generally the EUSwiki does not include the categories on the page themselves, as there's normally a disambiguation page; that is to say, we'd prefer people navigate to [[Policies]] instead of the category page. Thus, it is common practice to '''''hide the category'''''. This can be done by adding the power word <code><nowiki>__HIDDENCAT__</nowiki></code> ''inside the category''. It will then be hidden from all the pages. | Generally the EUSwiki does not include the categories on the page themselves, as there's normally a disambiguation page; that is to say, we'd prefer people navigate to [[Policies]] instead of the category page.
