How do I use the Rich Editor?

Modified on Wed, 27 Sep, 2017 at 2:55 PM

The Rich Editor (also known as a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor) is a familiar interface similar to most word-processing applications, where wikitext coding is invisible. It includes:

  • Easy table creation
  • Easy link creation, including automated search for internal articles
  • Easy image insertion, including automated search for uploaded image files
  • Can switch back to wikitext formatting by clicking on the Disable rich editor tab at the top of the edit window


To use the Rich Editor, click Edit on the page you wish to contribute to. You can switch back from the Rich Editor by clicking on Edit Source.
