The source editor, unlike the visual editor, allows you to edit the wiki markup directly. It also includes a WikiEditor that adds a toolbar to make it easier to format wiki markup.
If you would like to try the source editor without editing an article, here is a page where you can freely test it. You don't need an account to use the source editor on that page.
Opening the source editor
To edit a page using the source editor, press on the "Edit source" tab, if visual editor is disabled on default, at the top of the page. Pressing on the "Edit" tab will open the visual editor. |
|
You can also open the source editor by pressing on the "edit source" link on each section. |
Getting started: the WikiEditor toolbar
You can switch off or switch on WikiEditor in personal preferences set at Preferences → Editing → Enable the editing toolbar. |
