Help:Editing pages
From RUCS Wiki
It's very easy to edit the contents of a wiki. It only takes a few clicks.
- Click the edit page tab at the top of the page, or the edit link next to sections of text on the right side of the page.
- Make changes to the text.
- Click the Save page button.
Simple as that!

Edit Summary
Before you save a change, you can enter a short note in the Summary box describing your changes. Don't worry too much about this, or spend too much time thinking about it, but try to give a little description of what you just changed e.g. "fixed typo" or "added more information about sunflowers".
The summary gets stored alongside your edit, and allows people to track changes in the wiki more effectively.
Preview
It's a good idea to use the 'Show preview' button to see what your change will look like, before you save it. This is also related to tracking changes because every time you save, this is displayed to others as a separate change. This isn't something to worry about too much, but it's good to get into the habit of eliminating mistakes in your own work, by using a preview before saving, rather than saving several minor corrections afterwards.
Other types of editing
With wiki edits you can start a new page, move (or rename) a page, or even delete a page:
Discussion
Every article has its own "talk page" where you can ask questions, make suggestions, or discuss corrections. See Help:Talk pages
