=== Do I need to know markdown syntax to create content? ===

=== Do I need to know Wiki syntax to create content? ===

No, not necessarily. There is a WYSIWYG editor that you can use without needing to write markdown for formatting. It should appear when you click "edit" on a page. You are free to edit the source code using markdown (Click on "edit source"). Pages of some name spaces (e.g. "Talk" or "Help") don't seem to implement the WYSIWYG editor, so in that case you will have to edit the source code directly.
