A Wikigit page is more than a title and some text. Like a Wikipedia article, it has a handful of recognisable parts, each doing a particular job, and a writer can use as many or as few as a page needs. The quickest way to learn them is to notice that this very page is built from them — so as each part is named below, look up the page and you’ll find it in use.
Above the title edit
Three small things can appear before you reach the body.
- The label is the little word above the title — this page’s reads Concepts. It tells a reader what kind of page they’re on at a glance.
- The hatnote is the italic line just under the title, used to point somewhere else: “for X, see Y.” This page has one.
- A notice is the coloured banner across the top, for a draft warning, a caution, or anything a reader should see before the first sentence. There’s one on this page too.
The lead and the infobox edit
The first paragraph is the lead — a plain, self-contained summary that makes sense even to someone who reads nothing else. It’s the most important paragraph on the page, and the place to be clearest.
To its side sits the infobox: the boxed table of facts you can see at the top right of this page. It’s for the things a reader wants at a glance — dates, values, a link or two — pulled out of the prose so they don’t have to hunt. Pages that aren’t about a “thing” with facts can skip it entirely.
Contents and sections edit
Headings divide the body into sections, and from those headings Wikigit builds the table of contents automatically — there’s nothing to maintain by hand. On a longer page, each section also carries its own edit link, so a small fix means editing one section rather than opening the whole page. That’s a real help on a phone.
The foot of the page edit
At the very bottom are the category chips — the topics this page belongs to, linking off to everything else filed under each. Below them runs the wiki’s footer, the same on every page. Together they close a page the way the label and title open it: telling the reader where this page sits among the others.
