Once you're happy with your changes, it's time to save them! Any edits that you save will be instantly uploaded to Wikipedia.


When you're done editing, click the blue Template:Menu icon blue button in the toolbar (to cancel your edits, just close your browser window). This will open up a dialog box so that you can summarise your edits. The one-sentence summary of your changes helps other editors understand what you've done.

You can also mark your edits as minor if they are uncontroversial spelling or formatting changes. If you want to be notified of further changes to the page, you can and add it to your Watchlist.


The "Review your changes" button shows you the Wiki markup source code for the changes you've made if you want to check. The "Resume editing" button returns you to the page you were editing (you can save all of your changes later).
