Editing basics

Add A New page

Type the word or phrase you want to add in the search box on the left and click go. This will take you to a page not found page with a message at the top "No page with this exact title exists, trying full text search." Click on the this exact title to creat a new page with the name that you searched for.


Start editing

To start editing a MediaWiki page, click the Edit this page (or just edit) link at one of its edges. This brings you to the edit page: a page with a text box containing the wikitext - the editable code from which the server produces the finished page.

Type your changes

You can just type your text. However, also using basic wiki markup (described in the next section) to make links and do simple formatting adds to the value of your contribution.
