 ~~INFO:syntaxplugins~~
+A couple useful plugin-added formatting options are described here:
+### Alerts
+Added by [mikio plugin](https://github.com/nomadjimbob/mikioplugin/wiki/), alerts come in `danger`, `warning`, `primary`, `secondary`, `success`, `info`, `light`, and `dark`.
+`<alert danger> something to be careful about </alert>`
+<alert danger> something to be careful about </alert>
+See the [mikio plugin](https://github.com/nomadjimbob/mikioplugin/wiki/) docs for wayyy more formatting options.
+### Metadata
+[This plugin](https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:meta) was added to allow pages to set custom titles. Without it, page titles will be the first header found on the page. An example where we use it is https://vanhack.ca/wiki/start where the title would be `Vancouver Hack Space - Vancouver Hack Space`, following the pattern `wikititle - pagetitle`, but we override the page title in the document using the meta plugin to be "Wiki Home"
+allows you to edit the page metadata in the page contents. Syntax is:
+```
+~~META:
+title = Wiki Home
+~~
+```
+### Redirect
+We have two redirect plugins installed, one stores a master list of redirects - this was used to help fix broken links when we merged the WordPress and Dokuwiki into a single site. If you have a permanent redirect where you want to delete a page, ask in #vhs-wiki about getting something added to this list.
+The other redirect uses page contents to redirect to another page: `~~REDIRECT>namespace:page~~`
