I was hoping to find a thread which set out all the BBCodes and other formatting that are usable by regular users but don't have buttons above the edit box.
Since I didn't find one I thought I would start it!
Hopefully other users (and even mods/admins) will chip in with some that they know and we can make a reasonably complete list.

Itemsets provide a link instead of an image and the number you provide isn't the number for an itemset from the database but each item you want to be shown along with its slot (going itemset=slot,item,slot,item,etc):

The most important bit
The number you give isn't the number for the item or object or npc from the database but the number for the 3D model specifically.
So, one of my favourite items in the game is the Soul Harvester
But if we take the item's number (20536) and get the model for that we get:
What we need is not the itemID but the displayID. There isn't a very simple, easy way to get this number but what I do is view the page source for the modelviewer link where the displayID is listed. (I use Chrome to do this which has an option to view source when you right click. Other browsers have this option too).
I see there that it is 33087 which gives us

\what is the number you put in? seconds/minutes?

- You can omit www.wowhead.com from \ tags. \
- You can link gems and enchants. \ = Shadowmourne with three +20 STR gems and Berserking
A note on gems and enchants. Gems use the itemID, but enchants use the enchantID. You find the enchantID by going to the spell's page and finding it under "Effect: Enchant Item: <Name of Enchant> (enchantID)".

You can do even more with the Wowhead tooltips.
You can link to another domain of Wowhead without changing where the link goes to with
"&domain=x"
The domains are: www, cata, ptr, de, es, fr, ru
German Shadowmourne (The link still leads the the english version)
ItemsYou can change level on heirlooms with "
&lvl=x"
Level 20 Bloodied Arcanite ReaperYou can give belt, bracers and gloves an extra socket with "
&sock"
Frayed Belt with socketYou can display other items in the set you have equipped with "
&pcs=id:id:id:id"
Dreadnaught Helmet with chest, legs and feetSome items have random enchants like
Ulduar Greaves. You can add a random enchant with "
&rand=x"
A list of suffix id can be found
here and
here.
Ulduar Greaves of StaminaSpellsYou can change the level of cataclysm spell with "
&lvl=x"
Level 40 Flame ShockYou can link the buff effect of the spell with "
&buff"
Blessing of Might buffAchievementsYou can show who earned the achievement with "
&who=x" and "
&when=x"
Who is the name of who earned the achievement, and when is the date in Unix Time with "000" after. (I think, it's not really working properly for me :S)
