The NFSUnlimited.net Need for Speed Wiki uses MediaWiki software which means anyone can easily edit any unprotected page and those changes will be immedeately visible to other users.

Introduction

Editing most Wiki pages is not very difficult at all. Simply click on the "edit this page" tab at the top of a Wikipedia page (or on a section-edit link). This will bring you to a new page with a text box containing the editable text of the original page. Please don't save your changes if you experiment. You should write a short edit summary in the small field below the edit-box. You may use shorthand to describe your changes and when you have finished, press the Show preview button to see how your changes will look. You can also see the difference between the page with your edits and the previous version of the page by pressing the "Show changes" button. If you're satisfied with what you see, be bold and press the Save page button. Your changes will immediately be visible to other users.

You can also click on the "Discussion" tab to see the corresponding talk page, which contains comments about the page from other Wikipedia users. Click on the "+" tab to add a new section, or edit the page in the same way as an article page.

You should remember to sign your messages on talk pages, but you should not sign edits you make to regular articles. In page histories, the MediaWiki software keeps track of which user makes each change.
