==== How to edit a page ====

'''1. Edit:''' Click on the "Edit Source" button to start modifying the page.

'''2. Write a summary:''' Below the Edit field, there is a Summary field that can be used to describe what changes have been made to that page. Use it so moderators can understand the intent of the change being made. 

'''3. Finish the Edit:''' Click on “Save Changes” to save any changes you made to the page, “Show Preview” if you want to see what the page will look like after the changes before saving, “Show Changes” to display all changes made to the page so far, and “Cancel” to discard all changes.
