Greetings. My name is Chris and I am a newcomer to this FANTASTIC site (one could spend DAYS looking at all the tropes!). I'm suffering a dilemma: THERE'S NO WAY TO EDIT THE PAGES. What do I do?

You can edit the pages. There is an edit button that says Edit Page.

If your account is brand new you may not be able to edit yet. I can't recall if their is a unspecified timed lock out on new accounts for editing or not.

First, you turn off your capslock. (I'm serious. Enthusiasm is good. We like enthusiasm. We don't like shouting.)

On any wiki page, there is a row of buttons along the top. One of them says "Edit". Click that button and it will open the edit screen for the page.If there's no button labeled "Edit" there will instead be one with a tiny little padlock icon on it. That means that the page is locked and no one except one of the staff can edit it. If there's an edit that you feel is important to be made, post it in the thread named Request Edits to Locked Pages in the Frequently Asked Questions section of the forum.

I'd suggest, though , that before you start editing that you read a couple of the Administrivia pages:

Maddy beat me to the punch. I was going to link them to the Administrivia. I lost the thread before I could post it. Good thing Maddy is on the bounce.

Only thing I would add is Know the Staff a list of various Staff.

How do you create a moments page

You need to edit the MomentInQuestion.Work In Question page. Just substitute the words here with the moment and the work in question.
