Help:Editing

You don't need to know wiki markup to edit anything here. Every page has an Edit button at the top — click it and you'll get a Word-like editor (this is called the VisualEditor).

Quick start

Make sure you're logged in (top-right corner). If you don't have an

 account yet, see Special:CreateAccount.

Open any page and click Edit (the pencil icon on mobile).
Type. Use the toolbar for headings, links, lists, bold, etc. — same

 shortcuts as Word: Ctrl-B for bold, Ctrl-I
 for italic.

Click Save changes, write a brief edit summary so others know

 what you changed, and you're done.

Linking to other pages

Highlight some text and click the Link icon (or Ctrl-K). Type the page name and pick from the suggestions. Linking to a page that doesn't exist yet is fine — the link will be red, and clicking it will let you create that page.

Adding a photo

See Help:Adding_a_payphone_photo.

If something looks broken

Click History on the page (top-right tab) to see every previous version. Each version has an undo link if you need to roll back.

Source editor

If you'd rather write wiki markup directly, click the [[ ]]-style icon in the editor toolbar to switch to source mode. The full markup reference is at [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting].

What gets reviewed

New users' first edits and uploads go to a moderation queue (Special:Moderation) for a quick check. Once you've made 10 good edits over 4 days, you're auto-confirmed and your changes go live immediately.
