The most important thing about a wiki is: YOU can modify the pages, by editing them:

To do this there are basically two different ways:

1. Edit the whole article
To do that click the button labelled "edit" above each article.
2. Edit a single section
By clicking the link labelled "edit" next to each headline in an article, you can edit that section only. (If you have no concept of "headline" yet, be patience and read on.)

In any case you will get a page with a text field which contains the source code of the wiki-page you want to edit.

If you have finished your modifications, it's recommended, to click the button "Show preview" below the summary field. The page will reload and display how the article will look like, if you go on and save the page. Under that preview there is still the edit field where you can apply necessary changes and correct mistakes you spotted in the preview. If everything looks fine simply click on the "Save page" button and your modifications will be saved and published. If you want to give it a try edit our Sandbox
