How to edit

Click the "Edit" tab to change an article

With the exception of a few protected pages, every page has an "Edit " tab which lets you edit the page you are looking at. It is Wikipedia's most basic feature, and allows you to make corrections and add facts to articles. If you add information to an article, please provide references, because unreferenced facts can be removed. So be clear and provide references.

To practice editing, go to the sandbox and click the "Edit" tab. When you click the "Edit" tab, that will open an editing window containing the text for that page. Type in something fun and interesting, or just replace words for your own words. Now click the Save page button and see what you have done! If you need help editing,

• Check out the tutorial.
• Wanting to create an article? Use the article wizard.
• See the manual.
• See the help desk.
• View the help pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riley Huntley (talk • contribs) 19:09, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
