Help:Editing

Editing on Wikia is generally as simple as clicking the 'Edit' button on a page. Doing so will take to you an edit page where you can start to make changes to the page - such adding new information and media, correcting errors, or updating the formatting.

Depending on whether you are logged in, you may receive a different editing experience:


 * Visual Editor
 * Most anonymous and newer users will see the Visual Editor, a completely new editing experience based around showing you an accurate visual representation of your changes.


 * Classic Editor
 * Other users will see the classic editor - this includes the older visual editing experience and basic source wiki-text editing.

Quick tips
Once in an editor, you can use the available tools to quickly add and remove information, change the formatting, add new images and videos, update the page's layout and much more! Once you're done making your changes, just click the 'Publish' button to update the page.

Don't be afraid if you 'break' anything. All edits to a page are stored in the page history, and if something does go wrong you can simply revert to an older version.

Choosing an editor
Logged in users can choose your default editor from a drop-down list in your user preferences (found here).

Anonymous users will generally always see the Visual Editor by default. In a few specific cases, the Visual Editor may not be available on a particular wikia.

Additionally, the alternative editors can still be found under the 'Edit' button drop-down - for example, you can still access the classic editor from the drop-down even if the Visual Editor is the default.
