| ==== Summarize your changes ====
| | {{ll|Category:Help}} |
| :You should write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit-box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes, as described in the legend. | |
| | |
| ==== Preview before saving ====
| |
| :When you have finished, press preview to see how your changes will look -- before you make them permanent. Repeat the edit/preview process until you are satisfied, then click "Save" and your changes will be immediately applied to the article.

| | |
| == Minor edits ==
| |
| | |
| A user who is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Logging_in logged-in] can mark an edit as "minor". [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Minor_edit Minor edit]s are generally spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearrangement of text. Users may choose to hide minor edits when viewing [http://pzwiki.net/wiki/Special:RecentChanges Recent Changes].
| |
| | |
| Marking a significant change as a minor edit is considered bad [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Etiquette Wikiquette]. If you have accidentally marked an edit as minor, make a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Dummy_edit dummy edit], verify that the <small>'''"[ ] This is a minor edit"'''</small> check-box is unchecked, and explain in the edit summary that the previous edit was not minor.

| ==== Use a template ====
| |
| :We have several templates set up for you to make use of when creating a new page. These templates make adding a new page quick and easy and makes sure all of the pages stick to consistent look. (These templates will be coming very soon!)
| |
| | |
| == Mediawiki help ==
| |
| PZwiki uses a version of the same software that powers [http://wikipedia.org wikipedia]. For more comprehensive help on anything to do with Mediawiki, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents Wikipedia's own help section].
