'''OWASP Moves to MediaWiki Portal - 11:15, 20 May 2006 (EDT)'''
One of the [[Help:User rights|user rights]] that can be set for a user group is "edit", the right to edit a page. A wiki can grant this right for example to all users who are not blocked (this is the [[Help:User_rights#Defaults|default]]), or only to those who have logged in.
 
  
This page is intended to provide a brief overview of the editing process. Each of these topics are covered somewhere else in more detail. Look at the right hand side of the page for the [[help:Editor|Editor table of contents]].
+
OWASP is pleased to announce the arrival of OWASP 2.0!
  
One could just open '''[[Help:Wikitext examples]]''', and click "edit" on the page you want to change, and hack away, however some of the advanced wikitext and editing facilities can help save a lot of time. A more in-depth introductory guide is available at '''[[Help:Editing all-in-one guide]]'''.
+
OWASP 2.0 utilizes the MediaWiki portal to manage and provide the latest OWASP related information. Enjoy!

<!--It is intended to be brief, or as an overview. Otherwise why we separate the materials into different pages? Thus it's best NOT to add new materials or expand here. Add more examples or expand in other areas like Wikitext examples. Thanks!-->
 
===Review policy and conventions===
 
:Make sure that what you want to write belongs where you want to put it. The operator of the site likely has specific plans for the site, and your content might be deleted or unappreciated.  You can always use the [[help:Talk page|talk pages]] to ask questions or check to see if your idea will be accepted. Please make note of the license your contributions will be covered with.
 
  
===Start editing===
+
<br>
:To start editing a [[w:MediaWiki|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 ''[[w:wikitext|wikitext]]'': the editable source code from which the server produces the webpage. ''If you just want to experiment, please do so in the [[{{ns:4}}:Sandbox|sandbox]], not here''.
 
  
===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.
