Line 21: === {{anchor\|Edit window}} Edit screen(s) === Editing most Wikipedia pages is simple. Wikipedia uses two interface methods: classic editing through [[Help:Wiki markup\|wiki markup]] (wikitext), and a new [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor\|VisualEditor]] (VE). Wiki markup editing is chosen by clicking the <kbd>Edit</kbd> tab at the top of a Wikipedia page (or on a [[Wikipedia: Section\|section-edit link]]). This will take you to a new page containing the editable contents of the current page. Wiki markup is used extensively throughout Wikipedia for such things as [[Help:Link\|hyperlinks]], [[Help:Table\|tables]] and [[Help:Columns\|columns]], [[Help:Footnotes\|footnotes]], [[Wikipedia:Inline citation\|inline citation]], [[Help:Special characters\|special characters]] and so on. The VisualEditor option is intended as a user-friendly, [[WYSIWYG\|"What You See Is What You Get"]] (WYSIWYG) editing aid allowing one to edit pages without the need to learn wikitext markup. It is only available to registered logged-in users through an opt-in choice available through [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures\|personal preferences]], see the [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User guide\|VisualEditor user guide]] for more information.
