 Whether you're creating a new article or editing an existing one, you'll see the same text-editing window. It's a WYSIWYG editor so the buttons that appear across the top are the tools you'll most likely use. The admin or another author will clean up any formatting issues, so don't worry too much about being perfect your first try.

 +=== Tagging === 
 +In order to help readers find related articles, please add {!tags:Also known as keywords, categories, topics or subjects}} to the bottom of each article. Try not to do too many. Here's a list of the [[Tags|tags created so far]]. 
 +  - Write the tags at the bottom of your article, separated by spaces. If your proposed tag is more than one word, put an underscore between them, **like_this**. 
 +  - Highlight the tag words. 
 +  - Click on the Tag button {{::tag-syntax.jpg?nolink|}} in the WYSIWYG editor's ribbon along the top of the text window. That will automatically add the tag syntax around the words you highlighted. 
 +  - Now anyone can click on the tagged words at the bottom of any article and explore all the other articles related to that topic listed in reverse chronological order.

 Each time you edit a page you create a new version. You can see earlier versions in each page's edit history using the [[About this site#page tools|Old Revisions]] page tool button. Each time you save a new version, make sure you explain what and why you changed using the Edit Summary text field below the Save, Preview and Cancel buttons at the bottom of the WYSIWYG editor. If it was just spelling, grammar or somesuch, just click the Minor Changes box instead. Each time you edit a page you create a new version.

 Make liberal use of the Preview button at the bottom of the WYSIWYG editor to see what your edits look like on the "live" version of the page. Only hit Save when you're ready to commit to an entire new version, otherwise you create an unnecessarily long edit history. Drafts are autosaved as you edit, so you don't need to save manually. Make liberal use of the Preview button at the bottom of the WYSIWYG editor to see what your edits look like on the "live" version of the page.
