Editing

Editing on the wiki is as simple as clicking the "Edit" button on a page. Doing so will take you to an edit page where you can make changes to the content. Two modes of editing exist:

• Source Editor: This mode allows editing of pages via wikitext or HTML. Source Editor is the recommended method of editing on the Genshin Impact Wiki.
  • You may set Source Editor as your default editor in your Editing Preferences by changing "Preferred editor" to "Source editor" (2010 version) or "VisualEditor - source mode" (2017 version).
• Visual Editor: An editing experience that shows you a visual representation of your changes.
  • The use of Visual Editor is heavily discouraged due to its tendency to make unwanted and illogical formatting changes to the source code.

If additional help is needed or there is a question not covered by the resources below, you may either create a post at the community forum or reach out to wiki staff.
