A wiki is a web page that can be edited by its visitors. In order to edit, you will need an account, which can (due to spam) only be created by a sysop; consult the user list to contact one.
Once you have an account, login, click the "edit" link at the top of any page, and a text box for editing will appear.
This wiki uses the MediaWiki software; to learn to use MediaWiki markup, see MediaWiki editing help. For general help, see also MediaWiki User's Guide.
