Darlingwiki: EditFrom Darling WikiYes you canYou my friend can edit any article on Darling Wiki by clicking the edit link at the top of the page . You'll get a browser text-entry box with the current contents of the page. There are three reasons to edit a page.
Previewing & saving a pageTo see what your changes will look like, hit the Show preview button, which will not save the page. Do a preview just before saving the page, to make sure your changes look right. When you're happy with the changes, hit the Save page button to save the page. You can cancel your edits by clicking the Cancel link. Beneath the article editing text box is a short field labelled Summary. This is for putting a short note about what you've done to an article, such as "added hours of operation to Happy Baby Daycare" or "spelling 'peace' -> 'piece'" or "took out old address as they've moved". It can be helpful for people who are looking at the Recent changes or the page history pages to quickly see what you did. If you've edited a page but it doesn't seem to have changed you should probably look at Special:Recentchanges, since it is likely that someone has done a rollback of your change, and may have given an informative reason. Using the check boxesIf you are logged in there will be a This is a minor edit checkbox for marking your changes as "minor". The idea with this is that people reviewing page history or recent changes can filter out unimportant changes. It's up to you to determine what makes your changes "minor" -- usually, spelling corrections, grammar, or formatting changes are "minor", and changes to the real information on a page are not. The Watch this article checkbox puts this article on your watchlist. Any changes to the article, or to the article's talk page, by you or anyone else will show up in your watchlist, so you can keep an eye on the article. The default setting -- whether these checkboxes are checked or not by default -- can be set in your user preferences. | |||
