Do you ever read one of our Wiki Guides and say to your fine self, “That’s not how I do it.” Why not share your technique with us?

Step 1: Find a Wiki Guide to edit

Read through some Wiki Guides to find one that you think you can improve.

Step 2: Click on “Edit”

Click on the small blue box marked “Edit” or—if you’re looking at the Howcast version of a Wiki Guide—you can click on the link that reads “editing the latest revision.”

Step 3: Tag it

Look at the “tags,” the words that relate to this task. If there aren’t any or you think important tags are missing, start typing!

Step 4: Choose a category

If you feel the Wiki Guide should be in a different category, or sub-category, change it by clicking on one of the ones offered.

Step 5: Indicate age appropriateness

If your revised version is not suitable for readers under 18 years old, click the box under “Mature Content.”

Step 6: Write a description

If the current introduction isn’t ideal, type a brief description of your new, improved guide into the box marked “Introduction.”

Step 7: Edit the requirements

Take a look at the “You Will Need” section, which lists the items required to follow the guide. Hit “Delete” to erase any of the original items that now are unnecessary in your revision. Add your own items by clicking on the blue “Add” box and entering your additional items.

Step 8: Edit the instructions

Move on to the “Instructions” and add or delete steps, tips, warnings, or facts as you see fit.

Step 9: Check your changes

Hit “Preview” at the bottom right-hand corner of the page to review your new version. If you’re satisfied, hit “Save” at the bottom right-hand corner. If not, hit “Back” on the bottom left-hand corner and continue revising the script. Changed your mind about the whole darn project? Just hit “Cancel” on the bottom left-hand corner.
