'''[[Help:Filling the page|Automatic conversion]] of [[wikitext]]''' can be divided into three categories:
==Converted in preview==
* The result of the conversion is shown when pressing "Show changes". The rendering is shown with "[[Help:Show preview|Show preview]]". The conversion does not display in the edit box (save and press Edit again to see the result in the wikitext there):
** <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> produces ''Username 10:58, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)''. This is a [[Help:Piped link|piped link]] to your user page and the UTC time and date. This is refered to as signing and is used on [[help:Talk page|talk page]]s. The date format is based on the preference of the user who signed, not your time/date preference.<br><br> An alternative label for the link (nickname) can be set in the [[Help:Preferences#User data.2C_search.2C_etc.|User Data section of your preferences]]. The feature can even be used to create an additional link to your user talk page, etc. See also [[w:Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages]] and [[Help:Editing#Links, URLs]].
*** Additionally:
**** <nowiki>~~~</nowiki> gives username only e.g. [[User:Patrick|Patrick]]
**** <nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki> gives date only e.g. 08:41, 25 Jul 2004 (UTC)
** subst, see [[Help:Substitution]]
** see [[Help:Piped link|Piped link]]
The code <code><nowiki>~<includeonly>~</includeonly>~~</nowiki></code> will be displayed as <nowiki>~~~</nowiki> when the template is not included, <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> when the template is included, and it will be expanded as the active user when the template is subst'd.
==Not converted==
* The result will not be displayed at all:
** [[Help:Redirect|Redirects]] will show a page containing a redirect link, not the page being redirected to. Everything below the redirect (not extra text on the same line) will be automatically blanked (though it will still be there in the wikitext)
==Fully converted==
*The result will be displayed in the preview and in the edit box:
**in the Esperanto Wikipedia, a character like Ŝ is automatically converted into the alternative notation Sx, because in some browsers it may not display in the edit box, even if it displays in the webpage (and Sx, whether resulting from this conversion or just typed, is rendered as Ŝ)
Note: the wikitext only shows the result, not how it was entered, which means that when testing these features, one has to remember or record what one has entered.
