Editing Help:How To Edit Pages (section)

== Editing basics ==
=== Start editing ===
:To start editing a page, click the '''Edit''' tab at the top. This brings you to the edit page: a page with a text box containing the wikitext – the editable code from which the server produces the finished page, and often called the '''edit box'''.

=== 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. Some types of entries have [[Page Templates|templates]] you can use that include formatting information.

=== Summarize your changes ===
:If the change you have made might be controversial, is an important change, or needs clarification, you can write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit-box. For pedestrian, self-explanatory, or minor changes you can leave this blank.

=== Preview before saving! ===
:When you have finished, click '''Show preview''' 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.
