Title: HOW TO EDIT A WIKI PAGE |

How to edit a Wiki page
It is very easy to edit a Wiki page. Simply click on the edit icon 
of a Wiki page (top or bottom). This will open up the edit-view of the current Wiki page. The editor consists of the following basic components (see Figure below for details):
Figure : Editor for a Wiki page
The editor toolbar, containing the basic markups.
The actual text area containing the Wiki source of the current page.
The save and preview buttons.
The summary field for general editing notes.
Icon | Result | Shortcut |
Bold text | [Shift + Alt + B] | |
Italic text | [Shift + Alt + I] | |
Internal link | [Shift + Alt + L] | |
External link | [Shift + Alt + X] | |
Level 2 headline | [Shift + Alt + H] | |
Horizontal line | [Shift + Alt + R] | |
Signature and Date | None |
Table : The icons on the editor toolbar
The most convenient way to edit the contents of a Wiki page is to use the toolbar, which works similar to a toolbar available in a standard word processor or editor. describes the icons and their functions in more detail.
Another way to edit a page is manual entry of the Wiki markups. A detailed list of all available markups and several examples can be found in the annex of this document (pp. ). In general, the Wiki markup language is compliant to the syntax of the de facto MediaWiki, which is used for one of the largest Wiki projects: Wikipedia. This also enables the user to incorporate their own articles into Wikipedia or other projects.
When finishing the edit, one should write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit-box. This text should describe the changes done to a page for the benefit of other editors. After that, the “Preview” function (“ALT + P”) allows the user to see how the changed document will look. If necessary, additional changes can be applied to the preview version. By pressing the “Save” button (or “ALT + s”), the changes will be written to the data repository and immediately applied to the article. The “Cancel / Exit” link on the other hand will abort the editing of a page and will leave the data untouched.
