Help:Editing

Once you are registered, you can edit any page. Just log in and click Edit at the top of the page you want to change.

The basic editor is not WYSIWYG. Instead it is plain text, using 'mark-up' to signal bold (three apostrophes), headings (equals signs), for example. There are style buttons at the top of the editing pane: just select some text and hit the appropriate button to apply the style. Eventually you will probably just learn enough to do 90% of edits without these buttons.

There are various rich editors you can use if you prefer; please get in touch if you can't get the hang of markup and would like to try one.

The quickest way to figure out how to do something is to find an example of what you want to do on another page, or on Wikipedia, and copy the source text from there. It will usually work without modification.

Have fun, and be bold.

Section headings
{| class="wikitable" ! style="width: 50%" | What it looks like ! style="width: 50%" | What you type Section headings

Headings organize your writing into sections. The Wiki software can automatically generate a table of contents from them.

Subsection Using more equals signs creates a subsection.

A smaller subsection

Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs.

Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page titles.
