To edit an article: click "Edit this page" at the bottom of any article. Or, click "edit" on the right-hand side of a section header. When you are done editing, add a note about what you did in the "Summary" box, and click "Save page". These summaries help other editors keep track of an article's history.

To create a new article: Creating an article is a four step process.

  1. Make sure you're logged into Willipedia
  2. Make a link to the article you want to create. You need to edit an existing article to do so. You can either edit a related article, or, if there's not one, add your link to article ideas. Just enclose the word(s) you want to be the title in double brackets [[like this]]. Save the page.
  3. Click on the link you created.
  4. You'll see a big white box. Type the article into there, and when you're done, click "Save page".

You will probably want to consult our editing guide to learn useful syntax. Feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
