{{H:h|editor toc}}This "Editing Overview" is intended to be a '''very brief and short introduction''' to wiki editing. Each of the topics covered here is covered somewhere else in more detail. Look at the right hand side of the table (the one with many clickable links). You may want to keep '''[[Help:Wikitext examples]]''' or '''[[Help:Wikitext_reference]]''' open while editing when you need more advanced wikitext and editing skills. If you want view a full guide in one page, please go to '''[[Help:Editing all-in-one guide]]'''. == Editing Basics ==<!--It is intended to be brief, or as an overview. Otherwise why we separate the materials into different pages? Thus it's best NOT to add new materials or expand here. Add more examples or expand in other areas like Wikitext examples. Thanks!-->"Edit this page" starts and restarts an edit. Below the edit box,"Cancel" stops an edit. "Show changes" compares the current text with your text. "Edit summary" is where you tell the page history what you did. "Show preview" shows your text and lets you make corrections. Only "Save page" makes your edit the current text and puts a link to it on the page history. To experiment, go to "sandbox".
