In this introduction to Editing on ICANNWiki, you will find a variety of step-by-step guides and resources to help you embark on your journey to become one of ICANNWiki's top editors. We're thrilled to have you and look forward to collaborating with you.


First things first:
Do you have a User Account? Yes or No


Create an User Account

Editing on ICANNWiki requires contributors to have a user account. This policy is in place to prevent spam and abuse, but also to establish a sense of community among ICANNWiki editors. We require users to register with a username, email address, and a short personal bio. It is ok if you prefer not to include personal information in the Personal Biography section. However, at a minimum, we ask that you provide a 10 word description about your interest in ICANNwiki, so that we can differentiate your request from the spammers.

Next Question:
Have you created a personal article about yourself yet?: Yes or No

Creating a Personal Article

Before getting started, it is important to note that there are several ways to edit, which include: editing the page source, using the visual editor and using a structured form.

Page Source

Editing using the page source is the traditional way to edit ICANNWiki and gives you the most flexibility and control over what your page looks this. However, this type of editing requires knowledge of Wiki Markup. If you choose to edit with using the page source, you will find this guide a helpful starting point: Wiki-Editing Tutorial

Visual Editor

Editing using the visual editor is similar to using the page source, but instead of editing the source markup directly, you will use a graphical user interface similar to editing with your favorite word processor.


How do you prefer to edit: Page Source or Visual Editor
