| This Editing Overview has a lot of ''']''' examples. You may want to keep this page open in a separate browser window for reference while you edit. | |||
| Each of the topics covered here is covered somewhere else in more detail. See box at right for that. | |||
| == Editing basics == | |||
| ;Start editing | |||
| :To start editing a ] page, click the '''Edit this page''' (or just '''edit''') link at one of its edges. This brings you to the '''edit page''': a page with a text box containing the '']'': the editable source code from which the server produces the webpage. ''If you just want to experiment, please do so in the ], not here''. | |||
| ;Type your changes | |||
| :You can just type your text. However, also using basic wiki markup (described in the next section) to make links and do simple formatting adds to the value of your contribution. | |||
| ;Summarize your changes | |||
| :Write a short ] in the small field below the edit-box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes, as described in the ]. | |||
| ;Preview before saving | |||
| :When you have finished, click ''']''' to see how your changes will look -- '''before''' you make them permanent. Repeat the edit/preview process until you are satisfied, then click '''Save page''' and your changes will be immediately applied to the article. | |||
| {{:Help:Wikitext quick reference}} <!-- Edit this at ] --> | |||
| == Minor edits == | |||
| A ] user can mark an edit as "minor". ]s are generally spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearrangement of text. Users may choose to ''hide'' minor edits when viewing ]. | |||
| Marking a significant change as a minor edit is considered bad Wikiquette. If you have accidentally marked an edit as minor, make a ], verify that the "<small>''' This is a minor edit'''</small>" check-box is unchecked, and explain in the edit summary that the previous edit was not minor. | |||
