Help:Editing: Difference between revisions

To begin editing a page, click on ''"Edit this page"'' or the ''"edit"'' tab at the top. To edit an individual section, look at the section header for ''"<nowiki>[edit]</nowiki>"''.

Then insert your wiki text into it, whatever that may be. To see what your page looks like before you save it, press "Show preview". If that all looks good, enter a Summary (see below), mark whether it's a minor edit, and if you want to watch the page. Then, when you're finished, press "Save page." Your changes will be visible immediately.

A logged in user has the option of flagging the edit as a "minor edit". When to use this is some what a matter of personal preference. The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a "minor edit".  A major edit is basically something that makes the entry worth relooking at for somebody who wants to watch the article rather closely, so any "real" change, even if it is a single word. This feature is important, because users can choose to ''hide'' minor edits in their view of the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] to keep the volume of edits down to a manageable level.

The Summary is a summary of what you have done to change the page. Whether it be creating the page or fixing a spelling error, you should always fill out the summary, so administrators know what you've done.

In this section, we will show everything about how to make a good wiki page--formatting, links and more.

To assist users we use a Syntax highlighter that highlights most of the important syntax. You can read about it [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Remember_the_dot/Syntax_highlighter here].
