To view and edit a page using wiki markup, click '''Edit''' or '''Edit source''' at the top of any page. This will allow you to type text that you want to add, using wiki markup to format the text and to add other elements like images and tables that are explained later in this tutorial.

These rules are listed under {{menu icon|Help}} at the top of the Source Editor, and you'll quickly get used to them! {{If IP||You can always test new techniques in your personal "[[Special:MyPage/sandbox|sandbox]]" page.}}
