MediaWiki page editing hints

Most of our SpiderOakMobileClient wiki pages are in MediaWiki format, which is not recognized/handled by GitHub's in-browser editing controls. (GitHub handles many wiki page formats, but only provides the in-browser editing controls for the default format, Markdown.) That makes it crucial to have some references for MediaWiki formatting and other features:
- MediaWiki general formatting
- MediaWiki formatting index - all the topics; see the Advanced editing section for links to useful special-purpose guides
To complicated matters a little, GitHub doesn't implement all the documented MediaWiki features, but it does implement a whole lot.
Another important hint is to use the Preview button to examine attempts to do things - you can use lots of trial and error to get something working, without any undue consequences.
