Q. How do I edit an article on the GM Wiki?

A. Access the article you wish to edit and click "Edit." You are now in the edit mode and can add copy, images, tags, links, etc. When finished editing, click "Show preview" to see the changes. When satisfied with your changes, click "Save page" and it will be submitted for GM Wiki review.

There are some articles on the GM Wiki that cannot be edited. These include personal stories and milestone articles. Personal stories (content in the I was There category) can only be edited by the author. Milestone articles cannot be edited, but they may be added to.

Q. Will my article be edited?

A. There are 2 kinds of GM Wiki articles – historical articles and personal stories. They have specific editing and enhancing rules.

Historical articles
Because the GM Wiki is a collaborative, participatory environment, historical articles may be edited or added to by other users. These articles may also be enhanced by the GM Wiki team, including:

• Addition of tags, links, photos, videos and .pdfs
• Reformatting the content into an article template

Personal stories/I was there articles
Because these are personal recollections, I was there articles cannot be edited by any user and will not be edited by the GM Wiki team. Users may add to your story, but they cannot adjust the content you submitted. These stories may be enhanced by the GM Wiki team, including:

• Addition of tags, links, photos, videos and .pdfs
• Reformatting the content into an I was There article template

Q. How do I determine what changes have been made to an article? How do I know who wrote an article?

A. Unlike word processing systems, GM Wiki does not have a track-changes function. If you’d like to compare different versions of the article, access the article and click "History."

For all articles, you can visit the "History" page to see the name of user who entered the article, and the name(s) of others who have subsequently edited or added to the article. To do this, access the article you’d like to learn about and click "History." Some articles include the name of author at the top of the page.
