Editing Help:Wiki Editing Syntax Guide (section)

==Editing a Page==

So you want to change something in a Wiki article, eh? Well, the first question is whether or not you should - check out our [[Help: Welcome to the Wiki|Welcome to the Wiki]] and [[Help: Wiki Editing Style Guide|Style Guide]] if you haven't read them yet. You are encouraged to contribute, and contribute well. Between these two guides, we'll show you how!

Alright, there's something in an article that needs fixing. Maybe it's a typo, or maybe some of the formatting got messed up. Maybe you'd like to add your opinion to a discussion. In all these cases, there are two places to look to edit the page.

First, there's the Edit button the top of the article. It's pretty hard to miss, so most people know that's there. It's great for changing the introductory paragraph of a page, or for changing multiple sections.

Next to the Edit button is a + button. That's for adding a new section, which automatically formats the "subject" of the section as a "secondary" heading (more on headings below). This can be useful, too, but doesn't always appear on a page. If it is not there, you can create a new section using Edit and [[Help: Wiki Editing Syntax Guide#Headings|Headings]].

Finally, there's also an [edit] link next to each heading of a section. This is useful because it only shows you that section's text for editing, so there's less scrolling and searching for the text you want to change.
