Resources Help with editing Before you start editing Wikipedia, you could attend one of our editathons, try some training modules or The Wikipedia Adventure (learn to edit wikipedia in about an hour), look at the user guide to Wikipedia's visual editor, or peruse the resources below. The Wikimedia Foundation guide to editing Wikipedia. What's where on Wiki. Guide to the buttons on Wikipedia. Editing for beginners. Step-by-step instructions on how to add a piece of information to an existing Wikipedia page. Creating your userpage, using tools in the visual editor. Infoboxes for beginners. Wikidata for beginners. Building a biography. What to include when creating a biographical page on Wikipedia. Markup cheatsheet. Useful when editing source rather than in visual editor. Using Wikipedia talk pages. The Wikimedia Foundation reference guide to how Wikipedia's quality system works. Images Adding images to pages about art and artists is vital to their success. It is worth having a look at the guide to uploading images before you upload anything. Shareable images can be found through a Creative Commons search (includes Google, Flickr & Wikicommons). The Wikimedia Commons Upload Wizard will allow you to both upload your own images and to transfer images from Flickr, provided they have the right license. This can all be a little overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be! This page on Creative Commons licenses lets you know which licenses are acceptable to the Wikimedia Foundation, and the guides below should help too. Pictures for beginners. A Wikimedia Foundation reference guide to Wikimedia Commons.
