How to Edit Fextralife Wikis

Simply follow the steps below to edit pages using our new visual editor that we designed especially to make it as easy as possible.

Some tips for editing

  • If you find bad information, do not "strike through". Simply delete it and replace with proper information
  • All information should be added in third person, the wiki's "voice" should be neutral, not "I".
    Instead of "I recommend" use "It is recommended".
    Instead of "I found that" use "Testing shows that".
  • Respect formatting relative to other pages. The wikis have templates that have been made to make editing easy.
