How to edit
From Wikicpa
WikiCPA is a Wiki. Wiki, which means that anyone can easily edit any (unprotected) page and save those changes immediately to that page. After your first edit you are a WikiCPA editor!
Introduction
Editing a WikiCPA page is not very difficult. Simply click on the "edit this page" tab at the top of a WikiCPA page. This will bring you to a new page with a text box containing the editable text of the original page. If you just want to experiment, please do so in the sandbox; not here. You should write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit-box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes, and when you have finished, press the "Show preview" button to see how your changes will look. You can also see the difference between the page with your edits and the previous version of the page by pressing the "Show changes" button. If you're satisfied with what you see, press the Save page button. Your changes will immediately be visible to other WikiCPA users.
You can also click on the "Discussion" tab to see the corresponding talk page, which contains comments about the page from other WikiCPA users. Click on the "+" tab to add a new section, or edit the page in the same way as an article page.
You should remember to sign your messages on talk pages, but you should not sign edits you make to regular articles. The MediaWiki software keeps track of which user makes each change.
Minor edits
When editing an article page on this site, a user can mark that edit as being "minor". Minor edits generally mean spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearrangement of text. It is possible to hide minor edits when viewing the recent changes. Marking a significant change as a minor edit is considered bad behavior, especially when it involves the deletion of some text. If you accidentally mark an edit as minor, you should edit the source once more, mark it major (or, rather, ensure that the check-box for "This is a minor edit" is not checked), and, in the summary, state that the previous change was a major one. Did this change?
Wiki markup
The wiki markup is the syntax system you can use to format a WikiCPA page.
Wikipedia.org has an excellent page with a sample markup table. Please click here to access this page.
You may want to keep their page open in a separate browser window for reference. If you want to try out things without danger of doing any harm, you can do so in the Sandbox. Try opening the Sandbox in a separate window or tab and keeping this page open for reference.
