Headers

Headers divide articles into sections and subsections. They keep pages structured and easy to navigate.

• Use the equals sign (=) before and after text.
• The number of equals signs must match on both sides.
• More equals signs = smaller header level (1–6).
• Level 1 is the largest; Level 6 is the smallest.

To create a header "Deployments" and a sub-header "SBS Transit":

Code

==Deployments== ===SBS Transit===

Tables

Tables are used to present structured information such as specifications, deployments, and service lists. They ensure data is displayed neatly in rows and columns.

• Start with {| and end with |}.
• Add a new row with |-.
• Header cells → !
• Data cells → |
• Use class="wikitable" for standard styling.
• Apply mw-collapsible for large datasets.

To create a table with two columns and one data row:

Code

{| class="wikitable" !Column 1 !Column 2 |- |Data A |Data B |}
