Just as anyone can write a Quamut Wiki, anyone can also improve the Quamut Wikis already on the site by editing them.
What Sort of Edits Can You Make to a Quamut Wiki?
There are two main reasons why you might want to edit a Quamut Wiki:
- To improve presentation: You can improve the presentation of a Quamut Wiki by editing for spelling or grammar.
- To improve content: You can improve the instructional content of a Quamut Wiki by expanding on explanations currently in the Quamut Wiki, adding new text or images, or removing erroneous content.
How to Get Started Editing on Quamut Wiki
To edit Quamut Wikis, you must create a Quamut account and be logged in. Once you have an account and are logged in, you can edit any Quamut Wiki that you’re viewing by clicking on “Edit” in the red Tools box on the left side of the page, or at the bottom of the page.
When you click on either of those links, you’ll be brought to the Edit Wiki Page.
This page is identical to the Create Wiki Page, with two exceptions:
- You can’t edit the title of the Quamut Wiki (the title is locked when the Quamut Wiki is created).
- When you make an edit, you must enter a reason for the edits in the “Reason” field. For instance, you might enter “Grammatical Fixes” or “Improved Introduction” in that field.
In all other ways, the Editing Wiki page works just like the Create Wiki page. More specifically, you can:
digg
del.icio.us
