==Just some advice==
Sometimes people can sound a little harsh, but they usually have the best intentions ;) Try looking at other pages for examples, use the '''Show preview''' button obsessively, and look around at the buttons on the edit page to see if any of them will help you do what you want to.
I also often will open up another StrategyWiki page in another tab or window (especially a red link so I can look at the formatting that the buttons at the top of a new page's edit box will give me) and look at that for ideas. One example is the ToC, where you can use <nowiki>[[{{subst:BASEPAGENAME}}/Controls|Controls]]</nowiki> (in this case for a Controls page) to format the page links, so you don't have to type out the full page name (especially on some of those C&C games, ie [[Command & Conquer: Generals - Zero Hour]] ).
Don't let the admins get under your skin, but don't irritate them too much, either. They can be very helpful if you show a willingness to learn and improve your edits.
