Any person can edit any page. Any person at all, in fact!
Double-click on a page to enter edit mode. In this mode you will see the page contents inside a large text box. You may add/edit/update/delete any information within this box. See Help On Formatting for the syntax.
There are three buttons at the top of the page:
- Save: Saves the current page as a new revision.
- Preview: Spawns a popup window showing the proposed changes as they would appear if saved.
- Cancel: Cancels edit mode and returns you to the page you were viewing.
Below the text box you will see a checkbox with the text "Include page in Recent Changes list". If this box is checked, the edits you make will be logged as a major revision and will show up in the standard Recent Changes list. If un-checked, the edit is logged as a minor revision and does not show up on the default Recent Changes view.
Next is a long text box with the label "Optional comment about this change". Anything you type in here will show up as a comment in the Recent Changes view entry for the edited page - it is highly recommended that you do this whenever possible as it helps to inform others of the changes you make.
-
Finally you see the same three buttons (Save, Preview, Cancel) that are discussed above.
