Add to pages and start new pages

The are two important ways to help:

  • Add to pages
  • Start new pages

What do you care about or know about? You do not need to be an expert. We want all people's ideas on how to make the world more humane.

To edit a page, you do not need to log in. There are reasons to log in, though.

Add to pages

Picture of "edit" tab

To add to a page, click "edit this page" at the top of the page. Then type. When you are done, click "Save page." That's all!

Start new pages

Starting new pages is easy, too.

  • Blue words link to a page that already exists. Click the blue link to edit the page.
  • Red words link to a page that does not exist yet. Click the red link to start the page.
If you can't see colors, read the Universal access page.

Sometimes a page does not exist, but you can't find a link for it. Just edit a page to make a link for it.

One good place to add new links is the directory. (To learn how to make links, read the easy editing guide.)

Remember: You do not need to write a whole page. Even a few sentences is good! Other people will add to it.

Practice and learn

You can practice editing in the sandbox.
