Editing Meta:How to contribute (section)

=== Creating or editing a page ===

To create a page, just go to the URL you would like to create, ''e.g.'' [https://www.lambda-lab.org/wiki/My_new_page https://www.lambda-lab.org/wiki/My new page]. Make sure you respect the [[#Naming conventions|naming conventions]].

To edit a page, go to this page and click on the ''Edit'' link below the title. You can also edit a section only by clicking on the ''[edit]'' link next to the section title. It is sometimes easier to edit the source code of the page instead of using MediaWiki's [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:VisualEditor VisualEditor], which can be done by clicking the ''Edit source'' link. Notice that there are ''protected'' pages, ''i.e.'' pages that unauthorised users cannot edit.

If you plan to spend some time modifying a page or a section, you can use [[Template:Working on page]] or [[Template:Working on section]] to display a warning for other users.
