===Editing === Some wikis have an "edit" button or link directly on the page being viewed, if the user has permission to edit the page. This leads to an "editing page" where participants structure and format wiki pages with a simplified markup language, sometimes known as [[wikitext]]. For example, starting lines of text with an [[asterisk]]s creates a [[Bullet (typography)|bulleted list]]. The style and syntax of wikitexts can vary greatly among wiki implementations,{{example needed}} some of which also allow [[HTML]] tags. Wikis favour plain-text editing, with fewer and simpler conventions than HTML, for indicating style and structure. Although limiting access to HTML and [[Cascading Style Sheets]] (CSS) of wikis limits user ability to alter the structure and formatting of wiki content, there are some benefits. Limited access to CSS promotes consistency in the look and feel, and having [[JavaScript]] disabled prevents a user from implementing code that may limit other users' access. {| class="wikitable" |- ! style="width:33.3%;"|[[MediaWiki]] syntax (the "behind the scenes" code used to add formatting to text) ! style="width:33.3%;"|Equivalent HTML (another type of "behind the scenes" code used to add formatting to text) ! style="width:33.3%;"|Rendered output (seen onscreen by a regular web user) |- style="vertical-align:top;" |<syntaxhighlight lang="moin">"Take some more [[tea]]," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly. "I've had '''nothing''' yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more." "You mean you can't take ''less''?" said the Hatter. "It's very easy to take ''more'' than nothing."</syntaxhighlight> |<source lang=html><p>"Take some more <a href="/wiki/Tea" title="Tea">tea</a>," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly.</p> <p>"I've had <b>nothing</b> yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more."</p> <p>"You mean you can't take <i>less</i>?" said the Hatter. "It's very easy to take <i>more</i> than nothing."</p></source> |"Take some more [[tea]]," the March Hare said to Alice, very earnestly. "I've had '''nothing''' yet," Alice replied in an offended tone, "so I can't take more." "You mean you can't take ''less''?" said the Hatter. "It's very easy to take ''more'' than nothing." |} Wikis can make [[WYSIWYG]] editing available to users, usually by means of JavaScript control that translates graphically entered formatting instructions into the corresponding [[HTML element|HTML tags]] or wikitext. In those implementations, the markup of a newly edited, marked-up version of the page is generated and submitted to the server [[transparency (human-computer interaction)|transparently]], shielding the user from this technical detail. An example of this is the [[Wikipedia:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]] on Wikipedia. However, WYSIWYG controls do not always provide all of the features available in wikitext, and some users prefer not to use a WYSIWYG editor. Hence, many of these sites offer some means to edit the wikitext directly. Some wikis keep a record of changes made to wiki pages; often, every version of the page is stored. This means that authors can revert to an older version of the page, should it be necessary because a mistake has been made, such as the content accidentally being deleted, or the page has been vandalized to include offensive or malicious text or other content. Many implementations, like [[MediaWiki]], allow users to supply an ''edit summary'' when they edit a page; this is a short piece of text summarizing the changes they have made (e.g., "corrected grammar" or "fixed formatting in table"). It is not inserted into the article's main text, but is stored along with that revision of the page (often in a log or "history" window), allowing users to explain what has been done and why, and enabling other users to see which changes have been made; this is similar to a log message when making changes to a [[revision control|revision-control]] system.
