Editing is easy; to edit, simply click on either the <kbd>Edit</kbd> tab for the [[MW:Help:VisualEditor/User guide|Visual Editor]] or the <kbd>Edit source</kbd> tab for the [[MW:Help:SourceEditor/User guide|Source Editor]]. Using the Visual Editor allows you to edit articles without the need to learn wikitext markup, using a "What You See Is What You Get" ([[Wikipedia:WYSIWYG|WYSIWYG]]) editor. The Source Editor, on the other hand, allows you to edit an article's wikitext, although this requires knowledge of wikitext markup. See Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Help:Cheatsheet|cheatsheet]] for the most commonly used wiki markup. | Editing is easy; to edit, simply click on either the <kbd>Edit</kbd> tab for the [[MW:Help:VisualEditor/User guide|Visual Editor]] or the <kbd>Edit source</kbd> tab for the [[MW:Help:SourceEditor/User guide|Source Editor]].
