{{If mobile|''A note about editing on mobile devices: Most Wikipedians prefer to edit from a computer, as the editing interface works better there. You can edit from a mobile device and tablet, though. See [[Wikipedia:Editing on mobile devices|this page]] for more information.''<br/><br/>}}
Wikipedia is formatted using its own language called '''[[Help:Wiki markup|wiki markup]]''', also called '''wikitext'''. It's pretty easy to learn the basics.
You have a choice of using one of two editing tools; the "'''Source Editor'''" uses wiki markup.

Alternatively, you can use [[Help:introduction to editing (VE)|VisualEditor]], a secondary editing interface that works more like a [[WYSIWYG]] word processor. VisualEditor is somewhat simpler to use, but Source Editor is more effective for some tasks, and is the only one able to be used on Talk Pages. Elsewhere, you can easily switch between the two editing tools, as shown at right.

▲To view and edit a page's source code, just click "Edit source" at the top of any page. This will allow you to type in the text that you want to add, using wiki markup to format the text and add other elements like images and tables that are explained later in this tutorial.
▲Wiki Markup can initially look pretty intimidating (especially references) but it actually requires only a few rules to understand and use and you'll quickly get used to it! You can always test new techniques in your "[[Special:MyPage/sandbox|sandbox]]" page.
