  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

"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". See also: talk pages, MediaWiki, wikitext, edit summary, Wikipedia:Edit_summary_legend, Show preview, & sandbox.

because 1 creates H1 tags
which should be reserved for page title.

Subsection

Using more equals signs creates a

subsection.
