Begin Editing
To begin editing a page, click on "Edit this page" or "edit" at the top. To edit an individual section, look at the section header for "[edit]".
Then enter your Wikitext into it, whatever that may be. To see what your page looks like before you save it, press "Show Preview." If that all looks good, enter a Summary (see below), mark whether it's a minor edit, and if you want to watch the page. Then, when you're finished, press "Save Page." Your changes will be visible immediately.
Summary
The Summary is a summary of what you've done to change the page. Whether it be creating the page or fixing a spelling error, you should always fill out the summary, so administrators know what you've done.

Character Formatting
Colored Text
Using colored text is highly discouraged but in some cases useful. To color your text enter the following code. So for example:
<font color="purple">purple</font> <font color="green">green</font> <font color="red">red</font> <font color="grey">grey</font> <font color="black">black</font> <font color="pink">pink</font> <font color="orange">orange</font> <font color="yellow">yellow</font> <font color="blue">blue</font> <font color="silver">silver</font>
Will output:purple green red grey black pink orange yellow blue silver
For a complete list of possible colors, see Wikipedia's article on web colors. Simply copy the hex code next to your preferred color, paste in the appropriate spot, and remove the spaces in the hex code. For example:
<font color="blue">This text is blue.</font>
Will give this: This text is blue.
