# Make changes to the text.
# Click the "<tvar name=3><code>{{int|savearticle}}</code></tvar>" button.


Simple as that!

== Editing rules, editing conventions, and formatting == 


The number one rule of wiki editing is to '''be bold'''. Go ahead—make changes. Other people can correct any mistakes you make, so have confidence, and give it a try! There are all kinds of editing conventions, rules, and philosophies for the editing of wiki pages, but the '''be bold''' rule is the most important of these!


An edit can contribute whole new paragraphs or pages of information, or it can be as simple as fixing a typo or a spelling mistake. In general, try to add or edit text so that it is clear and concise. Most importantly, make sure you are always aiming to do something which ''improves'' the contents of the wiki.

<translate> See <tvar name=1>{{ll|Help:Formatting}}</tvar> for some of the common types of formatting used.</translate>

<translate>

If you want to try out editing, you can test editing on the page named <tvar name=1>{{ll|Project:Sandbox}}</tvar>, which has been specifically set aside for you to test editing.

== Edit summary == 
</translate>
<translate> Before you save a change, you can enter a short note (must be shorter than 500 characters) in the "<tvar name=1><code>{{int|summary}}</code></tvar>" box describing your changes.</translate>
<translate> Don't worry too much about this, or spend too much time thinking about it: just put in a short description of what you just changed.</translate>
<translate> For example, you might say "''fixed typo''" or "''added more information about sunflowers''".</translate>

<translate>

This summary gets stored alongside your edit, and allows people to [[<tvar name=help-tracking1>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Tracking changes</tvar>|track changes]] in the wiki more effectively.

<translate>
==Show changes== 


Another option is the "<tvar name=1><code>{{int|showdiff}}</code></tvar>" button which allows you to see the differences between the current version and the edited version.

==Protected pages== 


Pages that are protected cannot be edited by anyone except users of a specific group. Protected pages will instead display "View source" instead of edit. In that case, to edit a protected page, contact a user who has permission to edit the page. The default protection levels are as follows:


*None (allow all users)
*Autoconfirmed (prevent edits by new and unregistered users)
*Sysop (prevent edits by all users except administrators)

== Other types of editing == 


With wiki edits you can start a new page, move (or rename) a page, or even delete a page:
</translate>

* {{ll|Help:Starting a new page}}
* {{ll|Help:Moving a page}}
* {{ll|Help:Deletion and undeletion}}

<translate>

Remember you should always aim to improve the overall contents of the wiki with your edits.

== Discussion ==
