Easy editing of pages is what the guides are made for. It only takes a few clicks.

Editing new pages

If the page you wish to edit does not exist yet, see Help:Starting a new page

A good place to start is on our list of stubs - pages which only have a sentence or two at current and need expanding.

Editing existing pages

  • Click the edit page tab
  • Make changes to the text in the edit box. Make sure you write clearly and concisely, and make sure your edit does something to improve the page. If you're making normal changes to the text like fixing spelling mistakes or grammar, inserting new sentences, etc, then you don't have to worry too much about formatting. When you do need to use some type of formatting, you do it using wiki syntax, see Help:Formatting for some of the common types of formatting used.
  • Optionally, enter a short note in the Summary box describing your changes.
  • Optionally preview your changes with the Preview button.
  • Ensure your edit complies with the guidelines.
  • Click the Save page button.

Discussion

Every article has its own discussion thread in the GoXplore forums where you can ask questions, make suggestions, or discuss corrections. Click the discussion page tab to reach it.
