Created page with 'It's very easy to edit the contents of a wiki. It only takes a few clicks. # Click the “'''{{int:edit}}'''” page tab at the top of the page. # ...'

New page

It's very easy to edit the contents of a wiki. It only takes a few clicks.

# Click the “'''{{int:edit}}'''” [[Help:Navigation#Page Tabs|page tab]] at the top of the page.
# Make changes to the text.
# Click the “'''{{int:savearticle}}'''” button.

Simple as that!

== Formatting ==
When you need to use some type of formatting e.g. new headings or bold text, you do this using wiki syntax. See [[Help:Formatting]] for some of the common types of formatting used.

== Edit Summary ==
Before you save a change, you can enter a short note in the '''{{int:summary}}''' box describing your changes. Don't worry too much about this, or spend too much time thinking about it, but try to give a little description of what you just changed e.g. "''fixed typo''" or "''added more information about sunflowers''".

The summary gets stored alongside your edit, and allows people to [[Help:Tracking changes|track changes]] in the wiki more effectively.

== Preview ==
It's a good idea to use the “'''{{int:preview}}'''” button to see what your change will look like, before you save it. This is also related to [[Help:Tracking changes|tracking changes]] because every time you save, this is displayed to others as a separate change. This isn't something to worry about too much, but it's good to get into the habit of eliminating mistakes in your own work, by using a preview before saving, rather than saving several minor corrections afterwards.

== Other types of editing ==
With wiki edits you can start a new page, move (or rename) a page, or even delete a page:
* [[Help:Starting a new page]]
* [[Help:Moving a page]]
* [[Help:Deleting a page]]
Remember you should always aim to improve the overall contents of the wiki with your edits.

== Discussion ==
Every article has its own "talk page" where you can ask questions, make suggestions, or discuss corrections. See [[Help:Talk pages]]
