Most pages on the UniWiki are editable by anyone who is logged in. Only a few [[Special:ProtectedPages|important or sensitive pages]] are restricted to being edited by [[Special:ListUsers/sysop|administrators]]. If you want to edit a restricted page but can't, use the [[mediawikiwiki:Help:Talk pages|Talk Page]] to explain to the administrator what you want to edit.

=== Drafts and User Pages ===

Every registered user has [[Special:MyPage|their own user page]] (you can access yours ~~throug~~ the personal menu, by clicking on your user name). This is your personal page, which you can use however you see fit. Most people use it to talk about themselves, or to save drafts of articles they are working on. This can be useful if you're working on a major new page (or are heavily rewriting an existing page), as you can work on it at your own pace without leaving the original page in a completely disjointed state. Note that this page isn't technically "private" (anyone can read and edit it), although you generally shouldn't edit other people's user pages without their consent.

You also have a "user discussion page" (click on: "[[File:OOjs UI icon speechBubble-ltr.svg]] Discussion", on smaller screens only the icon will be visible. The location of the icon depends on the screen used, but on a regular desktop it is on the top right.), where other people can leave you messages. Alternatively, if you want to contact someone, you can go to the #wiki channel on the EVE Uni [[Discord]].

If you are new to wiki editing, or mediawiki in particular, [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Tutorial/Editing|Wikipedia's Tutorial]] is quite useful. The [[Wikipedia:Help:Cheatsheet|Wikipedia Cheatsheet]] is also handy to keep around.
