Help:Editing
From CostOfLiving.in
Editing most pages is not difficult. Simply click on the [Click Here to Edit the Following Section] link at the top of the pages section you wish to edit.
Be careful not to remove the first line of text (such as ==Housing==) as this is the section heading title and is used by the Table of Contents at the top of the screen for navigation.
If you make a mistake and delete this text our staff will repair it during the periodic reviews. However, excessive deletions will be considered vandalism and you may be blocked from making further edits to the site.
We are pretty lenient and forgiving, but if it gets excessive we have to protect the site for our other visitors.
