Editing existing pages
Editing whole pages
An entire page can be edited by clicking the "Edit" link at the top of the page. A very brief explanation of your edits should generally be added in the "Summary" box. If the edit is small (like a typo, or moving things around), click the "This is a minor edit" check box and no summary is needed.
You can preview your edits by clicking "Show Preview" and you can save the page by clicking "Save Page".
Editing sections
Individual sections of a page can be edited by clicking the "edit" link that appears next to a headline. This works just like editing whole pages, but only shows the specific section you are editing.
Further information
