[[Wikipedia]] is a [[wiki]] and this means anyone can easily edit any [[Wikipedia:Protected page|unprotected page]] and save those changes immediately to that page. After your first edit, you will be a Wikipedia editor! <!-- Comment Good luck with your first edit. -->

===Introduction===
+
-
 
+
-
Editing most Wikipedia pages is easy. Simply click on the "'''edit this page'''" tab at the top of a Wikipedia page (or on a [[Wikipedia: Section | section-edit]] link). This will bring you to a new page with a text box containing the editable text of the original page.  If you add information to a page, [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|please provide references]], as [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|unreferenced facts are subject to removal]].  When you are finished with an edit, you should write a short [[Wikipedia:Edit_summary  | edit summary]] in the small field below the edit-box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes, as described in the [[Wikipedia:Edit_summary_legend | legend]], and when you see the difference between the page with your edits and the previous version of the page by pressing the "'''Show changes'''" button. If you're satisfied with what you see, [[Wikipedia:Be_bold_in_updating_pages | be bold]] and press the "'''Save page'''" button. Your changes will immediately be visible to all Wikipedia users.
+
-
 
+
-
You can also click on the "'''Discussion'''" tab to see the corresponding [[Wikipedia:Talk page|talk page]], which contains comments about the page from other Wikipedia users. Click on the "'''+'''" tab to add a new section, or edit the page in the same way as an article page.
+
-
 
+
-
You should also remember to [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|sign your messages]] on [[Wikipedia:Talk pages|talk pages]] and some special-purpose [[Wikipedia:Project namespace|project pages]], but you should '''not''' sign edits you make to regular articles. In [[Wikipedia:Page history|page histories]], the [[MediaWiki]] software keeps track of which user makes each change.
+
-
 
+
-
==Minor edits==
+
-
{{further|[[Help:Minor edit|Minor edits]]}}
+
-
A check to the "minor edit" box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the version with your edit and the previous version: typo corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearranging of text without modifying content, etc. A ''minor edit'' is a version that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. The "minor edit" option is one of several [[Wikipedia:Why create an account%3F#New_editing_options|options]] available only to registered users.
+
-
 
+
-
==Major edits==
+
-
All editors are encouraged to [[Wikipedia:Be_bold|be bold]], but there are several things that a user can do to ensure that major edits are performed smoothly. Before engaging in a major edit, a user should consider discussing proposed changes on the article discussion/talk page. During the edit, if doing so over an extended period of time, the {{[[Template:inuse|inuse]]}} tag can reduce the likelihood of an edit conflict. Once the edit has been completed, the inclusion of an [[Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] will assist in documenting the changes. These steps will all help to ensure that major edits are well received by the Wikipedia community.
+
-
 
+
-
A major edit should be reviewed to confirm that it is consensual to all concerned editors. Therefore, any change that affects the ''meaning'' of an article is major (not minor), even if the edit is a single word.
+
-
 
+
-
There are no necessary terms to which you have to agree when doing major edits, but the recommendations above have become best practice. If you do it your own way, the likelihood of your edits being reedited may be higher.
+
-
 
+
-
==Wiki markup==
+
-
{{shortcut|WP:MARKUP}}
+
-
 
+
-
The '''wiki markup''' is the syntax system you can use to format a Wikipedia page; please see [[Help:Editing]] for details on it, and [[Help:Wikitext examples]] for a longer list of the possibilities of Wikitext.

Three ways to link to external (non-wiki) sources:
+
-
# Bare URL: http://www.wikipedia.com/ (bad style)
+
-
# Unnamed link: [http://www.wikipedia.com/] (only used within article body for footnotes)
+
-
# Named link: [http://www.wikipedia.com Wikipedia]
+
-
 
+
-
:See [[MetaWikiPedia:Interwiki_map]] for the list of shortcuts.
+
-
 
+
-
* Square brackets indicate an external link. Note the use of a ''space'' (not a pipe) to separate the URL from the link text in the "named" version.
+
-
* In the [[URL]], all symbols must be among:<br/>'''A-Z a-z 0-9 . _ \\ / ~ % - + & # ? ! = ( ) @'''
+
-
* If a URL contains a character not in this list, it should be encoded by using a percent sign (%) followed by the [[hexadecimal|hex]] code of the character, which can be found in the table of [[ASCII#ASCII printable characters|ASCII printable characters]]. For example, the caret character (^) would be encoded in a URL as '''%5E'''.
+
-
* If the "named" version contains a closing square bracket "]", then you must use the [[HTML]] special character syntax, i.e. '''&amp;#93;''' otherwise the [[MediaWiki]] software will prematurely interpret this as the end of the external link.
+
-
* There is a class that can be used to remove the arrow image from the external link. It is used in [[Template:Ref]] to stop the URL from expanding during printing. It should '''never''' be used in the main body of an article. However, there is an exception: wikilinks in Image markup. An example of the markup is as follows:
+
-
** Markup: <nowiki><span
+
-
class="plainlinksneverexpand">
+
-
[http://www.sysinternals.com/
+
-
ntw2k/freeware/winobj.shtml WinObj]</span></nowiki>

===Headings===
+
-
 
+
-
For a top-level heading, put it on a separate line surrounded by '=='. For example:
+
-
 
+
-
  ==Introduction==
+
-
 
+
-
Subheadings use '===', '====', and so on.

Ordinary text should use [[#emph|wiki markup for emphasis]], and should not use <code>&lt;i&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;b&gt;</code>.  However, mathematical formulae often use italics, and sometimes use bold, for reasons unrelated to emphasis.  Complex formulae should use [[Help:Formula|<code>&lt;math&gt;</code> markup]], and simple formulae may use <code>&lt;math&gt;</code>; or <code>&lt;i&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;b&gt;</code>; or <code><nowiki>''</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>'''</nowiki></code>.  According to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics#Italicization and bolding|WikiProject Mathematics]], wiki markup is preferred over HTML markup like <code>&lt;i&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;b&gt;</code>.

Hello again!it's so exciting to see the list conntiue to grow and I've already begun to make some interesting contacts.I wanted to let you know that ALL THINGS QUEBEC has been revamped and has a new look which is quite different from the  snapshot  in the list above. If at all possible I hope you'll be able to change the image.Thank you so much  and I hope you are not too harried!Evelyn in Montreal

===Tables===

There are two ways to build tables:

-
*in special Wiki-markup (see [[Help:Table]])

-
*with the usual HTML elements: &lt;table&gt;, &lt;tr&gt;, &lt;td&gt; or &lt;th&gt;.
+
-
 
+
-
For the latter, and a discussion on when tables are appropriate, see [[Wikipedia:When to use tables]].

I did modify the vielabars appropriately. What seems to be happening is the script seems to not even establish a connection with the Infoblox even though it claims to. I do not even see a session established in the audit logs. Maybe it was something with my web server implementation. I am using apache. I have run the same script without all of the html and cgi. I ran this in a terminal window and performed the same essential functions. I wonder if somehow the CGI is affecting the use of the APIs. Thanks!
