Lets contribute to a page

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 edit 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 ##########" ########## AUTHOR + END ########## including with the "< ! -- "" -->" code around them above the "+" copied slots and replace the "+'s" in them with your new author number, e.g. 5.


Step 3: Copy the code

Copy the following code between your slot, which you may continue editing it over time. (remember to copy/save any code before submitting to avoid data loss locally)

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. Thank you for contributing to our world.
