==== Start editing ====
<span style="font-size:125%">'''[[Help:Editing for beginners|Get Started]]'''</span>
:To start editing a MediaWiki page, click on the "Edit this page" (or just "edit") link at the top of the page. This will bring you to the edit page: a page with a text box containing the wikitext: the editable source code from which the server produces the webpage.


==== Summarize your changes ====
{| width=100% style="background-color: #F0EEDE; margin-top:6px; border: black solid 1px;" cellspacing=0
: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.

: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 ==
[[Category:Help]]
 
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.
 
== Specific PZwiki editing ==
 
==== Use a template ====
:We have several templates (known as Boilerplates) set up for you to make use of when creating a new page. These boilerplates make adding a new page quick and easy and makes sure all of the pages stick to consistent look. To see our current boilerplates see [http://www.pzwiki.net/wiki/Category:Boilerplates this page].
 
== 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].
