Instead of directly writing the HTML texts, Wikia uses scripts hierarchically encapsulated into text blocks, called "templates". They can be recognized by their doubled curly braces.

You write (A):

..but in HTML it will be replaced with (B):  <img src="[view-source:data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAEALAAAAAABAAEAQAICTAEAOw%3D%3D]" 	 alt="BraumSquare" 	class="thumbborder lzy lzyPlcHld " 	 	data-image-key="BraumSquare.png" 	data-image-name="BraumSquare.png" 	 data-src="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/b/b6/BraumSquare.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/20?cb=20150402215539"  	 width="20"  	 height="20"  	 	 	 onload="if(typeof ImgLzy===&#39;object&#39;){ImgLzy.load(this)}"  	>    Braum's   

..and it will look like (C):

A little piece of page (C) and a little code to write (A), no need to deal with actual HTML that treats all the obligations in background but is harder to read. A common practice in scripting/programming, you get an idea. Noone usually wants to work directly with (B).

The wiki offers four "different" editors afaik, two forms under Visual editor and the other two under Classic editor. The graphical editors are the easiest to use but they either won't allow or will break the more advanced wiki constructs. The Source editors allow for the full "code" control (my personal preference), one such editor is both under Visual and Classic one.
