Editing is the act of changing the layout or wording of a page in the Taijitu wiki. Anyone can do it, either when logged out or logged in.
Introduction
Editing is easy! Simply click the tab marked "edit" at the top of the page. You will then be presented with the source code/text of the page. Change the text until it looks how you want it to.
Click "Show Preview" at the bottom of the page to see what your edited page will look like after you have saved it. make any necessary adjustments, then type a very short summary of what you have done in the Summary box and then click Save page. You have edited a page!
If you wish to speak to fellow Taijituans about an article, click the "Discussion" tab at the top of the page. Edit this page just as you would a normal page, but you can speak freely without worrying that what you are writing is of article quality.
Wiki Markup
The Mediawiki software, which this wiki runs on, uses something called "markup" as a system with which to edit a page. Please see Cheatsheet for a quick reference guide to the markup and their functions.
Basics
Here are the wiki markup tags to give you the most basic and commonly used functions.
'' - Two apostrophes gives you italic text
''' - Three apostrophes gives you bold text
[[Page Name]] - Two pairs of square brackets around a word "wikilinks" to that article on the Taijitu wiki
==Word== - Two pairs of equals signs around a word gives a main heading, like the one above which says "Wiki Markup"
===Word=== - Three pairs of equals signs around a word gives a sub heading, like the one above which says "Basics"
~~~~ - Four tildes gives you your signature. You should always sign entries on article discussion pages or user talk pages, but shouldn't sign your contributions to actual article entries.
