Editing a Page

Source Editing

When editing a page, the default view is usually Source editing, which is best used by those who are familiar and comfortable with markup language. To access this editor, select Edit source in the tabs by the search bar or use the Pencil dropdown in the editing window.

🔍 Source editing is an advanced form of editing and is typically used for adding code-based functionality to the wiki.

Reasons to Use Source Editing

As a typical user, there are a few reasons why one might need to edit a page’s source:

• Adding a Category
• Using Redirects

While there are options to make these changes in visual editing mode, editing source is occasionally a more streamlined process.

Visual Editing

Visual editing is an extension that helps users add content to Wizzypedia with greater ease. Rather than requiring knowledge of markup, visual editing allows formatting and structuring similar to word processing applications like Microsoft Word or Google Docs.

With this visual editing toolbar, it’s easy to add headings, text formatting, links to other pages, lists, templates, tables, images, galleries, and special symbols.
