Editing a wiki is easier than it looks. This page will teach you the fundamentals of changing any page.

== The "Edit" Button ==
Every article has an edit button near the top, on one of the tabs. Clicking it lets you change the page's content.

'''Visual Editor''': A [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG "What You See Is What You Get"] editor. Great for simple formatting, but limited for advanced features.

'''Source Editing''': You write using special codes (like <code><nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki></code>). This guide focuses on Source Editing because it's more reliable for wiki formatting.

{{Info|If you don't see an Edit button, the page may be protected. You can still suggest changes on its Talk page (see [[Glue3D_Wiki:Beginner's_guide/Talk_pages|Talk Pages]]).}}

== Basic Text Formatting ==

{| class="wikitable"

| Bold || <nowiki>'''Glue3D'''</nowiki> || '''Glue3D'''

|}
(Last two don't render properly, but that's how you do these)
Use headings to organize articles into clear sections. Start with == Level 2 == for main sections, then === Level 3 === for subsections.

=== Creating Links ===
Links connect pages together, that's what makes a wiki a wiki!

'''Internal link''' (to another Glue3D Wiki page):

<nowiki>[[Glue3D]]</nowiki> ΓåÆ [[Glue3D]]

'''Piped link''' (different text than the page name):

<nowiki>[[Glue3D|GL00B's 3D engine]]</nowiki> ΓåÆ [[Glue3D|GL00B's 3D engine]]

'''External link''' (to another website):

<nowiki>[https://scratch.mit.edu Scratch]</nowiki> ΓåÆ [https://scratch.mit.edu Scratch]

Always use internal links when referring to other Glue3D topics. If a page doesn't exist yet, it will appear as a red linkΓÇöthat's an invitation to create it!

== The Show Preview Button ==
Before you click '''Save Page''', always click '''Show preview'''. This shows you exactly how your changes will look.

Why preview?

* Catch typos and broken links before they go live
* Avoid flooding the [[Special:RecentChanges]] log with 10 tiny "fix typo" saves (even though I do this)
* To save time, you can fix everything in one go
A good habit: preview ΓåÆ check ΓåÆ edit ΓåÆ preview again ΓåÆ save once.
