Make Wiki Markup language visible and not execute using "nowiki . . . /nowiki" formatting edit

Here is an example of a nowiki Wiki-Markup formatting that creates the word "ORANGE" magic marker highlighted in the color orange: ORANGE.

It was done with this wiki-markup:

"<nowiki>{{hl|ORANGE|orange}}" </nowiki>.

And another example

To change the color in "the middle part of" this sentence.
Use the following the wiki-markup
To change the color in {{color|blue|"the middle part of"}} this sentence.


Here is an example of Wiki-Markup formatting of {{color|green|GREEN}}

which creates the word "GREEN" presented in the color green: GREEN - note if you have blue/green color blindness, it might not look too green.

How to format a reference and create only a "number" for the link edit

Your signature edit

Hi. I am not sure if you know this, but I think your signature may violate policy because it inserts a linebreak at the end. Can you remove the line break from your signature? It would be greatly appreciated. This policy suggests that you can use non-breaking spaces instead. Thanks :) Aasim 13:33, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

When someone replies on the next line without using a ":" you get this effect. Conversely, the linebreak does no harm, coming at the end of the sig. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 15:00, 3 June 2020 (UTC).
Another >\reply wihout a ":" after my sig render in a more useful way. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 15:00, 3 June 2020 (UTC).

Beckwourth Trail is part of California Trail

Beckwourth Trail edit

The Beckwourth Trail was established by James Beckwourth in 1850.[1] The trail left the Truckee River Route at Truckee Meadows (now the site of Sparks, Nevada) and proceeded north along roughly the route of Stanford Way to Wedekind Road to U.S. Route 395. It follows Route 395 north and turns west to cross the Sierras through Beckwourth Pass at an elevation of 5,221 feet (1,591 m) on what is now California State Route 70. The trail then passed west to, avoiding Feather River Canyon, through present day Plumas, Butte and Yuba counties into California's Central Valley, terminating at Marysville. The Oroville-Quincy Highway (California State Route 162)[2] and California State Route 70 from Quincy to Highway 395 in general follow the path of the original Beckwourth Trail.
