From Last Outlaws Online
With the exception of a few protected pages, every page has an "Edit" tab which lets you edit the page you are looking at. It's the Last Outlaws Wiki's most basic and simple feature, and allows you to make corrections and improve articles.
To practice editing, go to your sandbox and click the "Edit" tab. That will open an editing window containing the text for that page. Type anything that suits you, or just replace words for your own words. Click the Save page button to publish your edit.
Edit Summary[edit]
Your first practice edit (above) left off two steps that you should do if you are editing an article or another page that will be read by others. Click the "Edit" tab again, enter some text, then do those two additional steps.
First, any time you edit a page, it is considered good etiquette to enter an explanation of your changes in the Edit summary box, which you'll find below the edit window. It's okay for your explanation to be quite short. For example, if you are making a spelling correction, you might just type "typo". Also, if the change you have made to a page is minor, such as correcting a spelling or grammar error, check the box "This is a minor edit". For your "sandbox" edit, you probably want an edit summary such as "Testing."
Show Preview[edit]
Second, you should always use the Show preview button. After you enter a change in the edit box for the sandbox, click the Show preview button instead of Save page. This lets you see what the page will look like after your edit, before you actually save. Everyone can make mistakes; this feature helps you catch them before other people see them. Using Show preview before saving also lets you try to format changes and other edits without cluttering up the page history or Recent Changes. Do not forget to save your edits after previewing, though!
Save the Page[edit]
After writing an edit summary and previewing your edits, click the Save page button to save your work on the page.
