Wiki Editing

Editing and linking using the standard editor.
Editing
To edit a wiki page, click on the Edit button. (There are other ways to edit which I'll deal with later.)
This will open up an edit window.
Go down the article until you see what you want to change. Make your changes, then click on Save Page.
Linking
Linking varies depending if you are linking to another article in the Wiki, if you're linking to something out on the internet, or to something in Wikipedia. Start off by selecting the text you want to link from, then click on the link button.
What you do next depends on where you want the link to go.
To another article - same name
If you want to link to an article with the exact same name as the text you've linking from, just click Done.
By the way, this is also a way to create a new article. If the article does not exist in the wiki, then the link will be made, but the link will be red. Clicking on a red link will let you create a new article.
Warning: Through trial and error, it appears that Wikia's software does not handle non-English characters well in their links. You may need to replace article names like Iñupiaq with article names like Inupiaq.
To another article - different name
If you want to link to an article with a different name as the text you've linking from, you can either select the existing article from the drop down list or type in a new name.
