Edit screen(s)

Editing most Wikipedia pages is simple. Wikipedia uses two interface methods: classic editing with the Help:Introduction to editing with Wiki Markup/1|Source Editor through Help:Wikitext|wikitext (wiki markup), and a new Wikipedia:VisualEditor|VisualEditor (VE).

Wikitext editing using the Source Editor is chosen by clicking the Edit source tab at the top of a Wikipedia page (or on a Help:Section|section-edit link). This opens an editable copy of the page, showing all the wikitext used there, and the Source Editor toolbar offers simple menu options to add or change the formatting. Wikitext is used extensively throughout Wikipedia for such things as Help:Link|hyperlinks, Help:Table|tables and Help:Columns|columns, Help:Footnotes|footnotes, Wikipedia:Inline citation|inline citation, Help:Special characters|special characters and so on. The Source Editor lets users toggle on 'wikitext highlighting' which uses different colours to help differentiate article text from wikitext.

The VisualEditor option is intended as a user-friendly, "What You See Is What You Get" (WYSIWYG) editing aid, allowing one to edit pages without the need to learn wikitext markup. It is only available to registered logged-in users through an opt-in choice available through Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures|personal preferences, see the Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User guide|VisualEditor user guide for more information.
