Wikipaedia

wiki
, meanin that onyane can eedit ony
unpertectit page
an improve airticles immediately for aw readers. Ye dae nae need tae register tae dae this. Onyane who haes eeditit is kent as a "
Wikipaedian
" an, no matter hou trivial the eedit mey seem, can be proud that he or she haes helped mak Wikipaedia whit it is. Aw o these eedits add up! Wikipaedia uises twa methods o eeditin: the new
VisualEditor
(VE), an classic eeditin through
wiki markup
(wikitext). The explanations on this page deal wi wikitext eeditin (the method maist uised). For instructions on uisin VisualEditor see the
VisualEditor uiser guide
Some pages are
pertectit frae eeditin
. These pages are denotit bi a lock icon on the tap richt o the page an hae a
View soorce
tab instead o an
Eedit
tab. Ye can still eedit these pages indirectly, bi submittin an "
eedit request
– an eeditor wi the ability tae eedit the pertectit page will respond tae yer request. Ye can submit a request bi clickin on the
View soorce
tab on that page an uising the "Submit an eedit request" link at the bottom richt.
Note: Ye can uise the
saundbox
tae experiment wi page eeditin.
