Just click on the "<b>Edit this page</b>" link at the top or bottom (also on the sidebar) of a Wiki page to change the page itself, or click on "<b>Discuss this page</b>" link and then on "Edit this page" to write on the corresponding <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Talk page">talk page</a>. This will bring you to a page with a text box containing the editable text of that Wiki page. </p><p>Then type away, write a short <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_summary" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Edit summary">edit summary</a> on the small field below the edit-box and when finished press "Save"! You can also preview your changes before saving if you like. Depending on your system, pressing Enter while the edit box is not active (there is no typing cursor in it) may have the same effect as pressing Save. </p><p>Please use a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Neutral point of view">neutral point of view</a>, and please <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cite_sources" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Cite sources">cite your sources</a> so others can check and extend your work. </p><p>It is often more convenient to copy and paste the text first into your favorite text editor, edit and spell check there, and then paste back into the browser to preview. This way, you can also keep a local backup copy of the pages you authored so that you can make changes offline. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Minor_edits" data-mw-thread-id="h-Minor_edits"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Minor_edits"></span>Minor edits<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Minor_edits"></span></h2></div> <p>When editing a page, a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_log_in" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:How to log in">logged-in</a> user has the option of flagging the edit as a "minor edit". When to use this is somewhat a matter of personal preference. The rule of thumb is that an edit of a page that is spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a "minor edit". A major edit is basically something that makes the entry worth relooking at for somebody who wants to watch the article rather closely, so any "real" change, even if it is a single word, is a major edit. This feature is important, because users can choose to <i>hide</i> minor edits in their view of the Recent Changes page, to keep the volume of edits down to a manageable level. </p><p>The reason for not allowing a user who is not logged in to mark an edit as minor is that vandalism could then be marked as a minor edit, in which case it would stay unnoticed longer. This limitation is another reason to log in. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="The_wiki_markup" data-mw-thread-id="h-The_wiki_markup"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-The_wiki_markup"></span>The wiki markup<span data-mw-comment-end="h-The_wiki_markup"></span></h2></div> <p>In the left column of the table below, you can see what effects are possible.
