Editting a page

Find the page you want to edit. Click on the "Edit" button (the 3rd tab on the top of this page, OR the mini [edit] on the right). 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 & changing pages

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

If you click on this PAGE, it directs you to most of the formatting info you will need.

For creating tables in this wiki, there is a small tutorial in Help:Table

Use of third party information and images

All information you copy from other sources should be done with permission of the author. Images you use should carry the same written permission from the creator and they should be attributed (preferably in the comment when you upload the file).
