= Working with Wikipedia Edit = Editing Wikipedia Pages: The edit function on Wikipedia, has a broad selection of options. It has a hierarchal structure for organizing thoughts, a built in interface for connecting content from the internet. This allows authors to incorporate links to other Wikipedia pages using links. It also has built in feature for citing references.

Headings
Heading, represents the sections of the article. Subheadings, represent categories or subsections of an article. The more logical the choice of headings more comprehendible the article will be. Headings are used to organize and present a broad range of information

Paragraph: This helps you set the style of the text. For example, a header, or plain paragraph text. You can also use it to offset block quotes.

Links
Links are a means of referencing other articles and sites on the world wide web.

Links: The chain button allows you to link your text. Highlight the word, and push the button. VisualEditor will automatically suggest related Wikipedia articles for that word or phrase. This is a great way to connect your article to more Wikipedia content. You only have to link important words once, usually during the first time they appear. If you want to link to pages outside of Wikipedia (for an "external links" section, for example) click on the "External link" tab

Typography
There are general rules for when to modify text or not. There are two general modifications bolding and italicizing type face. Bold type faces are usually used to draw attention to a particular world or phrase. Italic type faces are usually used to represent titles of books and articles.
