What is a Wiki?
Poultry Hub is a special type of website, called a Wiki, that makes collaboration easy. Anyone can easily edit any page and save those changes immediately to that page.
Editing most Poultry Hub pages is not difficult, but before you can start editing you will need to be logged in to the site. Log in using your user name and password, or by creating a new account. Now you can edit any article by using the Wiki controls.
Quickstart page editing
Simply click on the edit tab at the top of a Poultry Hub page. This will bring you to a new page with a text box containing the editable text of the original page. You should write a short editorial summary of any changes you make in the small field below the edit-box. When you have finished, press the Show preview button to see how your changes will look. You can also see the difference between the page with your edits and the previous version of the page by pressing the Show changes button. If you're satisfied with what you see, press the Save page button. Your changes will immediately be visible to other Poultry Hub users.
You can also click on the discussion tab to see the corresponding "talk page", which contains comments about the page from other Poultry Hub users. Edit the discussion page in the same way as an article page.
There is no need to sign edits you make to regular articles. Each article's page histories function within the Wiki software keeps track of which user makes each change.
