| − | :To start editing a PlazWiki page, click on the "'''Edit this page'''" (or just "'''edit'''") link at one of its edges. This will bring you to the '''edit page''': a page with a text box containing the ''[[w:wikitext|wikitext]]'': the editable source code from which the server produces the webpage. ''If you just want to experiment, please do so in the [[Sandbox|sandbox]], not here''.

| − | A [[Help:Logging in|logged-in]] user can mark an edit as "minor". [[Help:Minor edit|Minor edit]]s are generally spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearrangement of text. Users may choose to ''hide'' minor edits when viewing [[Help:Recent changes|Recent Changes]].

| − | Marking a significant change as a minor edit is considered bad Wikiquette. If you have accidentally marked an edit as minor, make a [[Help:Dummy edit|dummy edit]], verify that the "<small>'''[ ] This is a minor edit'''</small>" check-box is unchecked, and explain in the edit summary that the previous edit was not minor.
