There are two methods of editing, pressing 'Edit' or 'Edit source'. 'Edit' opens the WYSIWYG visual editor which is suited for simple edits. It is advised to use `Edit Source` for more complex formatting. The best way to improve formatting is by example : view the source of [[Welcome to the Civclassic Wiki#Model_pages|high quality pages]] and copy the relevant wikitext and surrounding brackets: e.g. <code><nowiki>{{infobox ... }}</nowiki></code>.
