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 [[WikiIslam:Citing, Linking, and Quoting|hyperlinking, quoting, and citations]], tables and columns, special characters, and so on. | Editing most WikiIslam pages is simple.

The VisualEditor option is intended as a user-friendly, "What You See Is What You Get" editing aid, allowing one to edit pages without the need to learn wiki markup language. See the [[WikiIslam:VisualEditor/User guide|VisualEditor user guide]] for more information. | |||
