Basically whatever's useful from http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing .

Actually, that can probably be the reference manual, and we can just build the test from there.

Exam

The exam should ask the person to make a wiki page from scratch, with the following things:

  • headings: ==, ===
  • text: '', ''', '''''
  • signing: ~~~, ~~~~
  • lists: *, **, #, ##
  • indentation: :, ::
  • links: [[link]], [[link|linktext]], http://link, [http://link linktext] * redirects: <nowiki>#REDIRECT [[link]]
  • categories: [[Category:name]], [[:Category:name]]
  • formatting: <pre>text to format</pre>
  • images: [[Image:name.ext|thumb|left|caption]], Upload file

It should also cover a few other items of note:

  • creating new pages (especially with the "Go" button not allowing you to)
  • talk page format
  • edit summaries
  • when to mark an edit as "minor"
