    Editing Wikipedia

    Hi, is anyone here good at editing the sidebars of Wikipedia? I haven't been able to figure it out.



    Someone added the picture to the sidebar, but it doesn't have proper link-age (like the URLs), and I can't see a place to change it...

    Anyone know how?

    Do you mean the picture thumbnail on the page? Look for the code:

    [[Image:

    That's how Wiki does internal linking of images (by adding |thumb|, it automatically creates a thumbnail image too).

    By default, the thumbnail will rest on the right hand side of the page, you can change it.

      No, I mean that part on the right-hand side... where the info box is. I can't find anywhere to edit that, all I see is the main info.

      Is that info un-editable?

        Oh ok, I think the info you need to edit is at the very top, it's this bit:

        {{HP Association|
        | image=
        | bgcolor=#fc0
        | fgcolor=#000
        | name=Order of the Phoenix
        | headquarters=[[The Burrow]]<br>[[Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place|Number 12, Grimmauld Place]] (formerly)
        | current head= Unknown; (formerly [[Albus Dumbledore]])
        | intentions=To prevent [[Lord Voldemort]] from carrying out his plans
        | enemies=[[Lord Voldemort]] and his group of [[Death Eater]]s; one-sided opposition from the [[Ministry of Magic]].
        | allies=[[Dumbledore's Army]]
        | appearance=''[[Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'', although briefly mentioned (not by name) at the end of ''[[Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire]]''
        }}

          Hmm, but where's the "edit" button for that? I can't find one.

          --EDIT--

          Oh, I see... the "Edit this page" at the top. I was looking at where it said [edit] at the end of each section.
