Editing most Bharatpedia pages is relatively simple. Bharatpedia uses two methods of editing: classic editing through [[Help:Wiki markup|wiki markup]] (wikitext) and through a newer [[Bharatpedia:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]] (VE). Wiki markup editing is chosen by clicking the <samp>Edit</samp> tab at the top of a Bharatpedia page (or on a [[Bharatpedia: Section|section-edit link]]). This will take you to a new page with a text box containing the editable text of the page you were viewing. In this box, you can type in the text that you want to add, using wiki markup to format the text and add other elements like images and tables. You should then press the <samp>Show preview</samp> button to review your contributions for any errors. When you have finished editing, you should write a short [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] in the small field below the edit box describing your changes before you press the <samp>Publish changes</samp> button. This will help others to understand the intention of your edit. To avoid accidentally leaving edit summaries blank, you can select "Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" on the <samp>Editing</samp> tab of your [[Special:Preferences|personal preferences]]. | Editing most Bharatpedia pages is relatively simple.
