[[File:Advanced_Settings_Screenshot.PNG|centeer|thumb|500px|Advanced settings in the visual editor]]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. | [[File:Advanced_Settings_Screenshot.PNG|centeer|thumb|500px|Advanced settings in the visual editor]]Editing most WikiIslam pages is simple.
