Wikipedia Tutorial - Welcome!
Wikipedia is a collaboratively edited encyclopedia to which you can contribute. This tutorial will help you become a Wikipedian. For a hands-on tutorial, you can also attend one of our Wikipedia Bootcamps.
The following pages will discuss a feature of Wikipedia, a piece of style and content guidance, information about the Wikipedia community, or important Wikipedia policies and conventions.
This is a basic tutorial, not an extensive manual. If you want more details, there are links to other pages for more information. To read them as you go along, you can open them in a separate window.
There are links to "sandbox" pages where you can practice what you're learning. Try things out and play around! Nobody will mind if you mess up an experiment in these practice areas.
Note: The tutorial assumes you are using the default page layout. If you're logged in and have changed your preferences, the location of links may differ.
