A typical editing workflow looks like this:

  1. Open the page.
  2. Click Edit Source.
  3. Make your changes.
  4. Preview your work.
  5. Check formatting and links.
  6. Write an edit summary.
  7. Save your changes.

Following this process helps reduce mistakes and keeps edits organised.


Before saving your edit, ask yourself:

  • Have I previewed my changes?
  • Are all links working?
  • Is the formatting consistent?
  • Are templates displaying correctly?
  • Did I write an edit summary?
  • Have I checked for spelling or grammar mistakes?

A quick review can prevent common editing errors.
