Note: this article refers to editing pages and the results from previewing those pages, rather than how the pages are displayed when saved (except where mentioned).

Automatic conversion of wikitext can be divided into three categories:

Converted in preview

• The result of the autotext displays in the preview, but the conversion does not display in the edit box (save and press Edit again to see the result in the wikitext):
  • ~~~~ produces Username 10:58, 09 Mar 2006 (UTC). This is a piped link to your user page and the UTC time and date. This is refered to as signing and is used on talk pages. The date format is based on the preference of the user who signed, not your time/date preference.
    
    An alternative label for the link (nickname) can be set in the User Data section of your preferences. The feature can even be used to create an additional link to your user talk page, etc. Help:Editing#Links.
    • Additionally:
      • ~~~ gives username only e.g. Patrick
      • ~~~~~ gives date only e.g. 08:41, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
  • subst, see Help:Template#subst
  • see Piped link

Not converted

• The result will not be displayed at all:
  • Redirects will show a page containing a redirect link, not the page being redirected to. Everything below the redirect (not extra text on the same line) will be automatically blanked (though it will still be there in the wikitext)

Fully converted

• The result will be displayed in the preview and in the edit box.
