Editing most WikiIslam pages is simple. WikiIslam uses two interface methods: classic editing through [[Help:Wikitext|wikitext]] (wiki markup), and a new [[WikiIslam:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]] (VE). Wikitext editing is chosen by clicking the <kbd>Edit</kbd> tab at the top of a WikiIslam page (or on a [[Help:Section|section-edit link]]). This will take you to a new page containing the editable contents of the current page. Wikitext is used extensively throughout WikiIslam for such things as [[Help:Link|hyperlinks]], [[Help:Table|tables]] and [[Help:Columns|columns]], [[Help:Footnotes|footnotes]], [[WikiIslam:Inline citation|inline citation]], [[Help:Special characters|special characters]] and so on.
Editing most WikiIslam pages is simple. WikiIslam uses two interface methods: classic editing through [[WikiIslam:Source Editing|source editor]] (using the wiki markup language), and a new VisualEditor (VE). The source editor is chosen by clicking the <kbd>Edit</kbd> tab at the top of a WikiIslam page. This will take you to a new page containing the editable contents of the current page. The source editor is used extensively throughout WikiIslam for such things as [[Citing, Linking, and Quoting|hyperlinking, quoting, and citations]], tables and columns, special characters, and so on.


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 [[WikiIslam:VisualEditor/User guide|VisualEditor user guide]] for more information.
