Help:Page Editing



This reference provides the general outline on creating pages and instructions for specific sections; for the rest, see Help:House Style. Furthermore, this page does not dwell on details pertaining to the MediaWiki architecture; the reference for such things is Help:Wiki Editing.

Existing pages
If you are a new user, it is best to leave these alone at the beginning.

Editing of existing pages is allowed, but is restricted to the following situations.


 * There is a mathematical error on the page
 * You are putting the proof in house style
 * A step in the proof is not explained in sufficient detail
 * Other things are missing which should be added

Do not make any other change to any proof. If you cannot resist modifying an existing proof, copy and paste the proof (creating a section "Proof 2" for instance) and make your changes there.

Deleting a page
Don't do this. Only trusted users can delete pages in any event; but this website has a strict non-deletion policy. Hence, deletions on this website happen very rarely.
