copied the Using HTML section from the Microformats wiki http://microformats.org/wiki/Help:Editing to encourage more semantic HTML in our MediaWiki pages
The reason for not allowing a user who is not logged in to mark an edit as minor is that vandalism could then be marked as a minor edit, in which case it would stay unnoticed longer. This limitation is another reason to log in.
== Using HTML ==
MediaWiki supports a lot of simple HTML markup which you should use to enhance the semantics of your wiki pages (for [[SEO]] and other related good reasons).
Here is a short list of common HTML tags that you may find useful (consult a good [[semantic HTML]] reference if you need more info about when to use which element).
* <code><abbr></code>
* <code><cite></code>
* <code><code></code>, <code><kbd></code>, <code><samp></code>, <code><var></code>
* <code><dfn></code>
* <code><div></code> & <code><span></code>
* <code><em></code> & <code><strong></code>
* <code><li></code> / <code><ol></code> / <code><ul></code>
* <code><table></code>, <code><thead></code>, <code><tbody></code>, <code><tfoot></code>, <code><tr></code>, <code><th></code>, <code><td></code>
* <code><time></code>
If you find additional semantic HTML elements that seem to work just fine in MediaWiki pages, please add them.
In addition to using HTML elements directly in your MediaWiki pages, feel free to use common attributes like:
* <code>style</code>
* <code>class</code>
Use the <code>class</code> attribute in particular, e.g. with <code><div></code> & <code><span></code>, to add microformats like [[hCard]] for people mentioned in wiki pages, [[hCalendar]] for events, etc. And instead of span/div, be sure to use <code><abbr></code> and <code><time></code> when appropriate!
