Introduction

This is a wiki. As in Wikipedia, you can edit any page, any time.

  • Your changes will be immediately visible to you and to all other users of this wiki.
  • You and anyone else with access to this site can see who made the change, as well as when and what that change was.

Generally, you will only edit articles that your editor has assigned you to work on. Some pages relate to multiple contributors, but do not edit them unless you feel you have been assigned a task on them, or you have caught an obvious mistake. It is better to make comments of substance to the authors via the discussion page.

To edit a page, just click the "edit" link at the top of any page.

  • The text and formatting codes used to lay out the page will appear in a large box.
  • Edit the contents of this box, just as in a word processor.
  • Then fill in the Summary bar below to briefly explain your edit and click the "Save page" button below the Summary bar.

You can easily see how many codes format the text by using the "Show Preview" button. Hitting preview will not make permanent changes, your editing will be lost unless you hit the "Save page" button later.
