General Editing Basics
Here are a few things you should know about editing:


 * You must be signed-in to edit. (To learn how to register click here.)
 * The Wiki allows you to edit in an environment similar to many word processing programs with some of the same familiar options in the toolbar as shown below (see Advanced editing for explanations of each tool).




 * You must click the "Save page" button at the bottom left when editing to save your work (see Editing a Page).
 * You should save your work frequently because the browser may time out (see Editing a Page).
 * You may encounter "disgruntled" or even "mean" people who may criticize the work you have done. Please read the guiding principles, publishing policies, and conditions of use to learn how to deal with such situations.
