EDITING A PAGE

Find the page you want to edit. Click on the "Edit" button (the 3rd tab on the top of this page). This should open an editing interface. Try and follow the same format as the rest of the page. In the beginning, you might find it easier to copy some portion of the page that looks similar in format to what you want to add, paste it where you want to appear in the page, and edit it. As you get closer to becoming a master at the art of wiki editing, you might want to refer to Text Formatting Rules (see below)

PREVIEWING & SAVING CHANGES

When you are done editing, click on the Show preview button below the editing box. This will open a page with the current page's preview, and the page editing interface below it. If you choose, you can make some more changes using the editing interface. When you are done, click the Save page button below, and your editing will be saved for online viewing.


TEXT FORMATTING RULES

I'm going to work on this later.
