Tutorial:Editing Basics

This tutorial has been created to make it easy for you to edit pages here on the ONX Wiki.
__TOC__ __NOEDITSECTION__
==Entering the Editor==
You can edit almost any page here on the Wiki by clicking the 'EDIT' button in the top right. This will take you directly into the editor, where you can start working on the page.
==Different Ways to Edit==
You may notice that there are two types of editors you can use on the Wiki: the Visual Editor, and the Source Editor. Each have strengths and drawbacks, and each has features that the other lacks. It's up to you to decide which you'd rather use, or if you'd prefer to switch between them both!
===Visual Editor===
The visual editor shows you basically what the page will look like once published while you edit it. You'll likely be using the visual editor by default if you're new to Fandom Wikis. It's a great way to keep track of how your changes look. This is generally considered a more basic option. If you're familiar with designing documents, you'll likely feel at home with the Visual Editor. It's great if you just need to make some changes to text on the page.
If you're using the visual editor and want to switch to the source editor, click 'Visual Editor' on the top right to open a drop-down menu and select Source Editing.
You can find more information about the visual editor here.
===Source Editor===
The source editor shows you the source code of the page while you edit it. It's a great way to keep track of how your pages are structured. This is generally considered a more advaned option. If you're familiar with coding, you'll likely feel at home with the Source Editor. It's great if you need to make changes to the way the page is organised, or what features are on the page and where. You can still Preview your page while editing the source to see what it will look like once published.
If you're using the source editor and want to switch to the visual editor, click 'Source Editor' on the top right to open a drop-down menu and select Visual Editing. 
You can find more information about the source editor here.
===Switching Editors===
If you're using one type of editor and want to switch to the other, click on either the name of the editor or the three vertical dots in the top right to open a drop-down menu and select the other type of editor. This should immediately switch you from one editor to the other. You can switch back and forth at any time, as many times as you'd like.
If you'd like to change your default editor (the one that loads up when you click 'Edit' on a page), you can pick your preferred editor from the dropdown on the Editing tab under the Editor heading in your preferences.
==Next Steps==
From here, you can use the skills you've learned and the resources we've given you to edit as many pages as you like here on the ONX Wiki. Thank you for contributing!

===How to Get Help===
If at any point you need some help - and it's perfectly okay to, this is complicated stuff - there are a couple of ways you can ask for assistance:
# Join our Discord server and get help from a community member, experienced editor, moderator, or admin.
# Approach a moderator directly through the ONX Wiki.
#* Find us via the user list, or
#* Find a list of us under 'Meet the Amins' and 'Meet the Moderators' on the right side of the community page.
#:Please note that this method is likely to be slower and less effective. Additionally, there is currently an issue with Fandom websites where only one moderator is listed on the community page.
Otherwise, if you're the type who prefers to figure things out for yourself, there are some great help articles on Fandom's Community Centre.
That's it!
Good luck, and happy Wiki-ing. :)
