Use {{code|}}, <pre>, or just add any number of spaces before each line
of the code segment (even one space works).
Yup, <pre> got me going for now.

wikitext predates markdown by several years. mediawiki first appeared
in 2001 and wikitext developed along with it, Markdown was invented in
2004. wikitext is quirky because of its age, development history, and
the fact that it's actually more than just markup, it has quite
extensive dynamic capabilities (particularly with extensions like
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ParserFunctions , which we
have in our instance).
Yeah, the whole interface does look rather "dated", perhaps it's time to start looking at a successor?
If what you're writing falls under the general heading of
'documentation', you might want to write it for docs.fedoraproject.org
rather than the wiki. docs.fp.o is built by a static generator and uses
the ASCIIDoc markup language. See
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-docs/contributing/adding-new-docs/
Perhaps... Is docs open? Or is there some process for getting this approved? I'm heavily making updates right now. I'm somewhat selfishly documenting it so I remember how I set everything up as I'm sure I won't remember a year from now :) But figured it's worth documenting for others as well.
Thanks,
