Help:How to Edit


 * This article is under construction.

Here on the Hidamari Sketch Wikia, we would want everyone to share as much information with us in a collaborative effort to help further progress everyone's understanding of the series

However, to ensure our little community looks as presentable as the gifted students' artwork, we must maintain a degree of standards to upkeep our looks.

Simple Editing
A good majority of contributors start off by making small edits to specific details, such as spelling or grammatical mistakes. Even correcting a single word is all that it takes to make a contribution; after all, it will be your first time? Why not start small and get to know your way around by taking simple steps?

Sample
Ume-sensei is the origenol creater of the Hidamari Sketch manga. She continued to making morre chatpers to this verry day.

Wow. There are some noticeable mistakes in those two sentences. A simple, straight-forward edit to fix this problem would do wonders, and who else would be suitable to fix this problem than yourself, the identifier of the issue itself!

Ume-sensei is the original creator of the Hidamari Sketch manga. She continues to make more chapters to this very day.

Now that was not that bad! Not only have you fixed an unsightly mistake, but you have also made a contribution to our Wikia!

Additional Content
''When fixing simple mistakes, such as spelling, grammar, or an incorrect statement, it is usually suited in having it marked as a "Minor Edit" to ensure anyone (including those scary Admins!) looking over the edit history that what you have done is (should) be a minor edit. Having an edit summary is also highly encouraged!''

Coding
We are jumping it here! While most edits are simple, some things have complex source coding that helps the text maintain position, such as in tables and templates. Messing up on a table/template can cause horrifying quality to become result, and we just cannot let an ugly scar last!

Simple Coding

 * Note: To access coding, switch tabs on the upper part of the page to "Source Editor"'. To set "Source Editor as your default editing mode, go to Preferences and look for the "Editing" tab. Select "Source Editor" over the "Wikia Visual Editor" in the Preferred Editor dropbox to set it as your default.

Everything can be done on the Wikia Visual Editor, but when there are problems in fixing misaligned text, going to Source Editor can troubleshoot issues.

Templates
Below is a table that will display template pages:
