With the exception of a few protected pages, every page has a link that says "'''''edit'''''", which lets you edit the page you are looking at. It is Asylum Projects's most basic feature, and allows you to make corrections and add facts to articles.  If you add information to a page, please try to provide references so others can see where you found the information.  (The same as providing sources for a research paper/book.).

Before you hit '''Save page''', it is considered good etiquette (or "Wikiquette") to enter a polite explanation of your changes in the '''[[Wikipedia:Edit summary|Edit summary]]''' box between the edit window and the '''Save page''' and '''Show preview''' buttons. It can be quite short; for example if you just enter "typo", people will know you made a spelling correction.  Also, if the change you have made to the page is minor, such as correcting a spelling or grammar error, be sure to check the box "This is a minor edit" (this is only available if you have logged in).
