Custom markdown flavor

1. Summary tag (intended for one-time use)
   
2. Wikibox tag (intended for multiple visual examples)
   

Note

• Our Markdown format differs from Wikipedia's utter horrendousness.
• While we've automatically converted Wikipedia articles to our simplified format, some information may be missing. This project is meant to be a fun alternative, not a replacement or competitor to Wikipedia.
• Only administrators can create new articles. This helps maintain quality by building upon our existing collection of well-structured content.
