* Green links

** These also generate {{p2|popups|This is another example.}}.
* Calculations
** Math is sometimes needed to illustrate a point. We like to do real-world estimates of things, to see if an idea is [[Term:viable|viable]] or not. The equations might look a little cryptic, but you can usually click on different parts to see the numbers and where they came from.<!-- TODO: add a popup calculation called "(example)" -->
* Tabs
** For grouping multiple similar pieces of content.
* Links that start with the '/' character
** These are links to ''subpages'' of the current page. Subpages are used for deeper analysis, or for focusing on a specific part of the world. {{x|Subpages could even provide alternative versions of the same page ("/alt") in case people have a hard time finding full consensus on what should be on a particular page.}}
* Links that start with the '#' character

** These are not hashtags. These are links to ''sections'' of the current page.

* Calculations
JavaScript is needed for expandables, popups, and calculations. These also don't with screen readers unfortunately - [[Project:Expandables/Feature_requests|yet]].

<!-- TODO: think of a simple example calculation and add it here. Doesn't have to be inside the bullet list. -->
