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.

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, on the UCP Wikis edit page the Wiki logo, which always linked to the main page was removed. Sometimes this was useful to open a second tab of the Wiki you are editing. When on the UCP edit page you can use the toolbox next to "page options" (top-right corner on the edit page) to open a second tab in right-clicking (choose open link in new tab) the link "Special pages". Other useful options there are "Pages that link to your page", "Related changes" and "Upload file".



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.
