Help:Editing

Editing on Fandom is as simple as clicking the "" button on a page. Doing so will take you to an edit page where you can make changes to the page and add new information and media, correct errors, or update the formatting.

Depending on whether you are logged in or not, you may receive a different editing experience:


 * Help:VisualEditor
 * Most anonymous and newer users will see the VisualEditor. It's an editing experience based around showing you an accurate visual representation of your changes.


 * Help:Classic editor
 * Other users will see the classic editor, including the older visual editing experience and basic source wikitext editing.



Quick tips

 * Once you are in an editor, you can use the available tools to quickly add and remove information, change the formatting, add new images and videos, update the page's layout, and much more! Once you're done making your changes, just click the "" button to update the page.
 * Don't be afraid if you "break" anything. All edits to a page are stored in the page history, and if something does go wrong you can simply revert to an older version.
 * If you want to edit a page without clicking the "" button, you can press on your keyboard, and the page will automatically load the preferred editor.
 * Editing is not yet possible through the Fandom app.

Choosing an editor
Logged in users can choose their default editor from a dropdown list in their user preferences (found here).

Anonymous users will almost always see the VisualEditor by default. In a few specific cases, the VisualEditor may not be available on a particular community.

Additionally, the alternative editors can still be found under the ' button dropdown - for example, you can still access the classic editor from the dropdown even if the VisualEditor''' is the default.

UCP editing
On UCP Wikis you can either use new MediaWiki Visual Editor or its wikitext source mode. The RTE, the Visual Editor and the source editor are no longer available.

Wikis on the UCP framework got a different editing experience, without the feature modules to the right, but a wider edit area. You will also realise, that the UCP Wikis edit page is missing the Wiki logo, which always linked to the main page.

Show changes, Preview and Save can be found at the bottom of the editor window.

When you are on the edit page, on top of the edit window you can see which editor you are using. You also can use the drop-down menu to switch to the other editor instead. Your preferred editor can be chosen on "Special:Preferences→Editing→Preferred editor".
