Description

Learn how to contribute to an existing page.




Examples

How to design the example page




Get Started...

Step 1: Locate the page

First of all, we need to locate the page we want to contribute to through searching for it. Load the page up by clicking it from the search results.



Step 2: Editing the page

In the address bar, add the text "#/editor/0" to the end of the page URL to go into editor mode. Once you are here, you need to find a free author slot which starts and ends like the following "########## AUTHOR 2 START ##########" to "########## AUTHOR 2 END ##########, for e.g. you would use this slot if there is already 1 author who initially made the page.

If there is no slot, copy the two complete lines "########## AUTHOR + START ##########" to ########## AUTHOR + END ########## including with the "< ! -- "" -->" code around them above the "AUTHOR + START" slot and replace the "+'s" in them with your new author number, e.g. 5 or 6, depending on how many authors there already are.


Step 3: Copy the code

Method 1

Copy the following code between your slot, which you may continue editing it over the next 7 days, as it will allow other authors interested in writing on the same page, to give you time to put your information in there, so they can then write after your 7 day period from the contribution date you add.

Notes

Note 1: It is important to write your code or edits into your notepad and save it on your computer, to prevent data loss if multiple people are editing the page. If only editing in page, then remember to copy the entire text box before submission each time.

Note 2: If an author has suggested an idea already, try not to copy the same idea, but you may provide an adjustment to the suggestion.

That's all there is to contributing to an existing page. Once you've made your contribution in line with our guidelines, we will then review your content and ensure it is kept up to the best standard, allowing other people on the network to contribute to it, as technology, science and the times change, in the years to come.
