Help:Tutorial (Editing)

From Sufficed

This is the most basic wiki feature of all:

With the exception of a few protected pages, every wiki page has a link that says "edit this page". This link lets you do exactly what it says: edit the page you're looking at. Sites like these, where anyone can edit anything, are known as wikis. Try it, click on the "edit" link. You'll see the wiki code for that page.

Show preview

One important feature to start using now is Show preview This lets you see what the page will look like after your edit, before you actually save. We all make mistakes. This feature lets you catch them immediately. Using Show Preview before saving also lets you try format changes and other edits without cluttering up the page history, and has a number of other advantages. Don't forget to save your edits after previewing, though!

Edit summary

Before you hit Save, it's considered good practice to enter a very brief summary of your changes in the "Edit summary" box between the edit window and the Save and Preview buttons. It can be quite terse; for example if you just enter "typo," people will know you made a minor spelling or punctuation correction, or some other small change.
