Getting started

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.

Login to Saintapedia
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
Make any edits that you feel are needed.
Click on save changes (ideally adding an Edit summary of what you changed).

Editing tips

What do I do if I see something wrong on Saintapedia?

Main pages: Help:Editing Saintapedia and Help:Comments

If editors see something wrong and they know the correct information, please click on "Edit" to improve the article yourself. This is the preferred approach on Saintapedia and is the reason the wiki is a collaboration space.

If you do not feel comfortable making the change yourself,

Leave a comment on the article’s discussion page. Every article on Saintapedia has its own discussion page. Every editor who has the article on their watchlist (including most everyone who has edited the page recently), will receive an email notifying them that you have left a comment on the discussion page.
Click on the history tab to find an editor who has recently made a substantive change to the page so you can let them know what you see that should be updated. Click on their user name to be brought to their user page. You can add a comment on their user page's talk page.
