If you click one of the three "edit" links in Figure 1-12, then the edit box shows only the text in the section, not the text of the entire article. That makes it easier to edit (less text in the edit box), and it significantly lessens the likelihood of an edit conflict, because if another editor is editing a different section, your two edits ...
To continue to edit the wikitext directly, simply click the "Edit source" button instead of "Edit". On section edit links, you can open the wikitext editor selected in your preferences for that section by clicking "edit source" instead of the regular "edit" link. If you would like to remove VisualEditor from the user interface, then you can do so.
You have a choice of using one of two editing tools; the "Source Editor" uses wiki markup. Alternatively, you can use VisualEditor, a secondary editing interface that works more like a WYSIWYG word processor. VisualEditor is somewhat simpler to use, but Source Editor is more effective for some tasks, and is the only one able to be used on Talk ...

(The section about writing resources discusses what free resources in general are available to you for writing articles.)

One simple way to avoid the VE while editing is to click the tab "Edit source", instead of the tab "Edit", if you are going to edit an entire article or a User page. If you want to edit a section of a page with the old wikitext editor, you need to hover the mouse pointer over the "edit" link to the right of the section name (or over the section ...
You can see copious editing statistics for any user or IP address at: xtools:ec; For named users, this is available from the "Edit count" link at the bottom of the user's contributions page. A similar tool which displays only the edit count is: xtools:sc; These are among the tools at Toolforge. Some others of the tools there are also linked ...
You're now in edit mode; in the edit box, you see the existing text (as in Figure 3-7). 3. In the edit box, enter the text that'll become a link to the subpage you're going to create. Figure 3-9 shows you the two different ways to create a link. You can pick either one, or use both, to confirm that both links will go to the same page.
