Every student can edit or create content on the wiki. As you may have recognize, we use Mediakiwi software to run it. This guide will present you the two methods for modifying pages : the simpler VisualEditor and classic editing through source mode.

Opening the editor

When reading a page, click the Edit or, in french, Modifier button on the right. By doing so you open the VisualEditor, a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor. It works like Word, Gdocs or LibreOffice so you should be pretty familiar with this editing method. This other method is the source mode.

Saving the edit

When done with editing, you will find several buttons at the bottom of the page.

Show changes

Sow changes will display the current article vs the new article with your edits. You will see what text is being removed or added and you can check that there is no unwanted changes.

Save page

Just before saving the page, you can add a summary to your changes. Every change is logged and publicly visible in the page history. Leave here a brief description of what you made so other editors can see your contribution. Now click Save page to publish your edit.

Page creation

See Help:Editing/Page creation.
