Introduction

edit

This is a tutorial on how to edit Wikipedia articles. The tutorial is designed to help you learn by editing the pages that belong to it. Don't worry about messing it up: you are working on a temporary copy, and nothing you do here can cause any lasting harm. If you mess up a page too much and want to return it to its starting state, you can click the "Reset" button at the bottom.

Note that on rare occasions, users who repeatedly vandalize articles or otherwise behave abusively may be blocked from editing. If your account or internet address has been blocked, you will not be able to do this tutorial until the block is lifted. Otherwise, please go ahead!
