<p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{H:h|editor toc}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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]].<br />
<br />
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]]'''.<br />
<br />
== Editing basics ==<br />
<!--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!--><br />
===Review policy and conventions===<br />
: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.<br />
<br />
===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''.<br />
<br />
===Type your changes===<br />
: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.<br />
<br />
===Summarize your changes===<br />
:Write a short [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] in the small field below the edit-box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes, as described in the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Edit_summary_legend | Edit_summary_legend ]].<br />
<br />
===Preview before saving===<br />
:When you have finished, click '''[[Help:Show preview|Show preview]]''' to see how your changes will look -- '''before''' you make them permanent. Repeat the edit/preview process until you are satisfied, then click '''Save page''' and your changes will be immediately applied to the article.<br />
<br />
==Most frequent wiki markup explained==<br />
<!--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!--><br />
Here are the 6 most frequently used wiki markups. If you need more help see:<br />

You can ''italicize text'' by putting 2 <br />
apostrophes on each side. <br />
<br />
3 apostrophes will bold '''the text'''. <br />
<br />
5 apostrophes will bold and italicize <br />
'''''the text'''''.<br />
<br />
(4 apostrophes don't do anything special -- there's just ''''one left over''''.)<br />
