Help:Using the Edit Button to your Advantage

The edit button is one of the first buttons an editor sees when visiting the CPW Fanon Wiki. This small button houses many features, from editing to renaming a page and even undoing a previous edit! This page will help familiarize editors with common features within the edit button and instruct editors in performing more advanced edit button tasks.

Where is the edit button?
The edit button is the button to the direct right of the title on any Wiki page that says "edit". In the example below, the edit button is the button between the "Administrators" title and the comments button.

How do I make an edit?
Clicking directly on the "edit" part of the button will allow you to edit the article.

In addition, going to the Contribute button on an editable page will give you a drop-down menu that allows you to edit the page.

How do I compare edits a previous editor made or undo an edit?
Comparing edits can be a very quick and easy way to see what content a previous editor changed. Using the edit button, click on the triangle pointing downwards next to the words "edit." This will give you a drop-down menu where you can click on "history" to go to the edit history.

How do I rename a page?
There are many instances where a page will need to be renamed (commonly called redirected). This can be done by accessing the edit button's drop-down menu, clicking "rename" and following the prompts to rename the page.
