Help:How to edit a page

From Forexpedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Forexpedia is a Wiki, which means that anyone can easily edit any unprotected page and save those changes immediately to that page. After your first edit, that's it, you've taken the most important step in becoming a Forexpedia editing master!

Introduction

Editing most pages is not very difficult at all. Simply click on the "edit this page" tab at the top of a Forexpedia page. This will bring you to a new page with a text box containing the editable text of the original page. If you just want to experiment, please do so in the sandbox, not here. You should write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit-box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes, and when you have finished, press the Show preview button to see how your changes will look. You can also see the difference between the page with your edits and the previous version of the page by pressing the "Show changes" button. If you're satisfied with what you see, press the Save page button. Your changes will immediately be visible to other Forexpedia users.

You can also click on the "Discussion" tab to see the corresponding talk page, which contains comments about the page from other Forexpedai users. Click on the "+" tab to add a new section, or edit the page in the same way as an article page.

You should remember to sign your messages on talk pages, but you should not sign edits you make to regular articles. In page histories, the MediaWiki software keeps track of which user makes each change.

Major edits

All editors are encouraged to be bold, but there are several things that a user can do to ensure that major edits are performed smoothly. Before engaging in a major edit, consider discussing proposed changes on the article discussion/talk page. This step will all help to ensure that major edits are well received.
