Saintapedia is a wiki, meaning that any invited editor can edit and improve articles immediately for all readers.

  • Anyone who has edited is known as a "Saintapedian" and, no matter how trivial the edit may seem, can be proud that he or she has helped make Saintapedia what it is. All of these edits add up!

Editing most Saintapedia pages is simple.

  1. Login to Saintapedia
  2. Click on the "Edit" tab at the top of a Saintapedia page to launch Visual editor or "Edit source" to use the older Enhanced editor
  3. Make any edits that you feel are needed.
  4. Click on save changes (ideally adding an Edit summary of what you changed).
