Editing rules, editing conventions, and formatting
The number one rule of wiki editing is to be bold. Go ahead - make changes. Other people can correct any mistakes you make, so have confidence, and give it a try! There are all kinds of editing conventions, rules, and philosophies for the editing of wiki pages, but the "be bold" rule is the most important of these!

An edit can contribute whole new paragraphs or pages of information, or it can be as simple as fixing a typo or a spelling mistake. In general, try to add or edit text so that it is clear and concise. Most importantly, make sure you are always aiming to do something which improves the contents of the wiki.

When you need to use some type of formatting, such as for new headings or bolding of text, you do this using wiki syntax or the buttons in the meta-help-edittoolbar>m:Special:MyLanguage/Help:Edit toolbar|edit toolbar above the editing zone. See help-formatting>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Formatting|Help:Formatting for some of the common types of formatting used.

Edit summary
Before you save a change, you can enter a short note in the "" box describing your changes. Don't worry too much about this, or spend too much time thinking about it: just put in a short description of what you just changed. For example, you might say "fixed typo" or "added more information about sunflowers".

This summary gets stored alongside your edit, and allows people to help-tracking1>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Tracking changes|track changes in the wiki more effectively.
