how to edit a page
==How to create a new page==
This is covered on a separate page: [[Help:Starting a new page]]
==How to edit an existing page==
* To edit an existing page, visit the page and click on the '''edit''' tab at the top of the page. The text of the page will show up in a large text entry window.
* Make whatever changes or additions you need.
* Enter a description of what you've done in the "'''Summary:'''" box.
* Use '''Show preview''' to see your changes before they are saved. Repeat as necessary until you get it right.
* Press '''Save page''' when done.
==How to edit one section==
* Each section has it's own "[edit]" link at the far right of the page. Simply click on that link to edit only that one section.
==Suggestions and Hints==
* If you have lots of text to add or changes to make, do it in steps, saving after each step.
* Don't forget to '''Save page''' when you are done previewing. (It can be too easy to forget this!)
* The '''Editing help''' link at the bottom of the page will give you a quick summary of how to edit, with links to more detailed references, and this will be in a new window or tab.
* If things really get messed up, there is a '''Cancel''' link at the bottom of the editing page.
