Editing rules, editing conventions, and formatting
The number one rule of wiki editing, is to be bold. Dive in and make changes. Other people can correct mistakes later, so have confidence, and give it a try! There can be all kinds of editing conventions, rules, and philosophy governing the editing of wiki pages, but the "be bold" rule overrides these!
In general try to write clearly and concisely and make sure you are always aiming to do something which improves the wiki contents. An edit might be to contribute whole paragraphs or pages full of information, or it could be as simple as fixing a typo or spelling mistake.
Concentrate on Content and not flashy formatting however when you need to use some type of basic formatting e.g. new headings or bold text, you do this using the buttons in the edit Toolbar. More complex formatting can be done using wiki syntax codes embedded in the text See Help Formattingfor some of the common types of formatting available.
Edit Summary
Before you save a change, you can enter a short note in the Summary (?): box describing your changes. Don't worry too much about this, or spend too much time thinking about it, but try to give a little description of what you just changed e.g. "fixed typo" or "added more information about sunflowers".
The summary gets stored alongside your edit, and allows people to track changes in the wiki more effectively.
Preview
It's a good idea to use the "Show preview" button to see what your change will look like, before you save it. This is also related to tracking changes because every time you save, this is displayed to others as a separate change. This isn't something to worry about too much, but it's good to get into the habit of eliminating mistakes in your own work, by using a preview before saving, rather than saving several minor corrections afterwards.
Show changes
Another option is the "Show changes" button which allows you to see the differences between the current version and your edited version.
==Other types of editing--
With wiki edits you can start a new page, move (or rename) a page, or even delete a page:
Remember you should always aim to improve the overall contents of the wiki with your edits.
You can also upload images using the Upload link on the right hand navigation menu and you can display and format the uploaded image see Help:Formatting Images
