Once you have found a page you want to edit, hit the edit tab at the top of the page. This should pull up the editing screen. (If you are confused by the coding of the article, don't give up yet, just read on!) Now you can begin editing! You can edit the article however you want, just make sure it follows our Quality Standards. Once you are satisfied with your edit, click "Show preview". This will allow you to see the edits you have made to the article before you save them. You can also click "Show changes" to see the difference between the previous change article, and the changes you made. Check to make sure that everything is in order (and sometimes spelling errors are easier to notice here). Be sure to use an edit summary, so users know what changes you were making to an article. Now, hit "Save page". This will save the changes you made to the article for all the users of the wiki to see. | Once you have found a page you want to edit, hit the edit tab at the top of the page.
