Keyboard shortcuts

To speed up the editing process, you can use keyboard shortcuts to navigate through the text and save your changes. Keyboard behaviour depends on your browser but in general:

Special Characters

If you come across a character that isn't available on your keyboard, try clicking the Insert Symbol button and choose from some of the more frequently used special characters.

Missing Text

If you come across an article with missing text, please add the missing text to the preceding line. As you type you may reach the text limit, click the add missing text link to allow you to add any missing text into the current text field (please note this feature is for registered users only).

Multi-Page Articles

You can only correct mistakes on the page the system is showing. If an article spans over 2 or more pages, save any changes on the current page then go to the appropriate page by clicking on the On page ... link before correcting mistakes on that page.

Searching on Your Changes

Although your changes will be immediately applied to the article, it may be several hours before the search index is updated. Hence your updates may not be immediately found by a search.
