Summary
Review of what you've learned
Wikipedia is formatted using its own language called Wiki Markup. It's pretty simple to learn if you want to. Otherwise, you can use VisualEditor, a simpler editor interface that works like a word-processor]]
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 "sandbox" page.
