The number one rule of wiki editing is to '''be bold'''. Go ahead - make changes. Other people can correct any mistakes you make, so have confidence, and give it a try! There are all kinds of editing conventions, rules, and philosophies for the editing of wiki pages, but the "be bold" rule is the most important of these!
==Uses in other disciplines==
Many terms are used beyond Media Studies or come from other fields, mention those here.


An edit can contribute whole new paragraphs or pages of information, or it can be as simple as fixing a typo or a spelling mistake. In general, try to add or edit text so that it is clear and concise. Most importantly, make sure you are always aiming to do something which'' improves ''the contents of the wiki.

When you need to use some type of formatting, such as for new headings or bolding of text, you do this using wiki syntax or the buttons in the Edit Toolbar above the editing zone. See [Help:Formatting] for some of the common types of formatting used.

Before you save a change, you can enter a short note in the "'''Summary'''" box describing your changes. Don't worry too much about this, or spend too much time thinking about it: just put in a short description of what you just changed. For example, you might say "''fixed typo''" or "''added more information about sunflowers''".
 
This summary gets stored alongside your edit, and allows people to track changes in the wiki more effectively.
 
== Preview ==
It's a good idea to use the "'''Show preview'''" button to see what your change will look like, before you save it. This is also related to tracking changes because every time you save, this is displayed to others as a separate change. This isn't something to worry about too much, but it's good to get into the habit of eliminating mistakes in your own work, by using a preview before saving, rather than saving, then having to do ''another'' edit just to make one or more minor corrections.
 
==Show changes==
 
Another option is the '''Show Changes''' button which allows you to see the differences between the current version and the edited version.
 
== Other types of editing ==
Sometimes the page you want to edit doesn't yet exist. In that case you can start a new page!
