User:Robchurch/Editing Crash Course/Basic Editing/Adding Text
The bulk of any page on a wiki consists of text. Plain, ordinary text. This lesson details how to add text to a page, simply and easily.
Text is nice and simple to add to a wiki page, as there is no fancy markup for it; you just place the text in with the markup and it is rendered as ordinary text, like the stuff you're reading now.
Adding text to a wiki page
[edit]- Browse to the page you want to add text to (e.g. your sandbox)
- Click the edit this page link at the top of the page
- Enter some text in the edit box that is shown, or modify the existing text
- Add an edit summary, detailing what you just did (e.g. "added some more text about XYZ")
- Click the save page button to commit your changes
Example
[edit]This is some ordinary text
is rendered as
This is some ordinary text.
