Editing Pages

Short introduction blurb

Some quick tips for making editing easier.

If you are making a change and want to inform other why you are making it, be sure to set the changelog at the top next to the save page button. This will leave a little note with the changes you made and what you put in there. You can see an example with this page.

When viewing a page, if you want to edit a certain section highlight the text, and then a pop up will appear and click on the pencil icon to edit it. It will bring you right to that point in the editor.

Talk about tags, make some that are some to add to pages such as Needs Review, Short Page, Help Wanted, Missing Link, etc... then put links to those on the home page.

In the top overflow menu next to Editing Page you can switch up the editor. The recommended editor is WYSIWYG, which stands for What You See Is What You Get. It is the easiest one to work with and most user friendly. If you find yourself in a strange-looking editor check on that, it may have been switched to Markdown which will look more like code. We can't quite recommend using the Beta editor yet since there is some missing functionality.

This is inserted media.

This is a collapsible block. Open me.

Anything can be put in here and it can collapse to hide it if the content should be hidden bu default, or is large and would take up too much space. Ironically this section would have been great in a collapsible block but I didn't want to complicate things.
