Wikia

To edit a page click the edit button at the top.

To edit a section of the page (see here.)

You can't edit protected pages or special pages. You can tell because if it's a protected page it will say View source instead of edit, and on a special page all it will say is Special Page.

To practice editing go to the Sandbox.

TrollsEdit

The bad news is that occasionally a Wiki Troll will deface a page. The good news is that any page can be reverted back to a previous version:

Simply click "history" at the top of the page you wish to roll back. Then click on the time and date of the archived version you want to revert back to. The page will appear with the version indicated at the top of the page, just underneath the page title. Next, click "edit" at the top of the page. Add a note in the Summary box that you are reverting the page because of a troll, and then click "Save page".

Step by step

Anyone can edit a wiki! You don't need to be signed in or have an account.

To edit a page, simply click the Edit button which is located by the title of the page.
Once you click the edit button, the Wikia Editor will load allowing you to make changes to the page, including adding or removing text, photos, video and more.

Editor Features

Visual Mode: This mode is generally the default and allows you to make edits that will appear exactly as they will on the published page.
Source Mode: This mode allows you to edit the page using wikitext.
Edit Area: This is the main content area where you can add text, media and adjust the format of the page.
Toolbar: The toolbar allows you to format text, making it different sizes and styles. You can expand and condense the toolbar to view more or less tools.
Feature Modules: The right pane also includes modules that allow you to add features and media such as photos, slideshow, videos and tables. You can access templates to use on the page and add categories. The preview and publish buttons are found at the top of this area.

Basic Editing Tips

Once the edit is opened, you can use the toolbar, features modules and free form edit area to add or adjust to the page content.
To see how your page will appear once it's published, click on the preview button. This will pop up a window that shows the page as it is currently designed.

If you like your preview, hit publish and your edits will be live.
If you don't like your preview, you can keep editing until it appears as you would like it to.
To let others know what you added, fill in a summary above the publish button.
