Prism Party runs on a customized version of MediaWiki, the software powering Wikipedia. Although Prism Party looks and operates differently compared to Wikipedia, both sites use the same software under the hood.

Also like Wikipedia, Prism Party is a collaborative project: Everyone is encouraged to contribute edits to help build the site. Once you've created an account and confirmed your email address, you will have the ability to create or edit pages on the site.

What follows is a basic summary of editing on Prism Party. For a full, detailed, list of everything you can do while editing pages, click here.


Editing a page[edit]

It's very easy to begin editing. Once you're signed in, just click the blue edit button at the top of a page to start!

You might have noticed that the edit button is often split into two parts. A larger half with the word "Edit" and a pencil, and a smaller half with four square brackets. The larger half is the Visual editor, and the smaller half is the Source editor.

The editor you use is up to you. Both have their pros and cons!
