| − | + | :To start editing a page, click the '''Edit this page''' (or just '''edit''') link at one of its edges. This brings you to the '''edit page''': a page with a text box containing the ''wikitext'': the editable source code from which the server produces the webpage. ''If you just want to experiment, please do so in the [[LGPedia:Sandbox|sandbox]], not here''. | |
