With the exception of a few protected pages, every page on WikiEducator can be edited.
Tip: Remember that on WikiEducator you cannot edit a page without a valid user account. On some wiki's like Wikipedia, you can edit a page without a valid user account. However, in Wikipedia you can't create new pages without a user account.
Where are the edit links
You will find the main edit link as a page tab, above the content area of a page. On pages that have subheadings, you will also find an "[edit]" link next to the heading to edit that particular subsection of the page. The edit links let you do exactly that: edit an entire page or single section within a page.
You will find the main edit link between the "discussion" and "history" tabs above and one next to each subheading. Note that the "Edit mode" and "First Edit" links in the navigation bar above are the names of sub-pages in this tutorial and not Wiki edit links.
