  • Edit Tab

    The Edit tab is very similar to the default message posting editor in vBulletin. You can use the Edit tab to modify the text that appears on the Article tab.

    Whenever users make changes on the Edit tab, they may receive credit for their contributions on the Article tab and their profiles, among other places.

    Below the text editor are several other fields. The ones that were added by VaultWiki are discussed below. Reason for Editing

    Editors can enter a brief description of the changes that were made. This helps differentiate between edits on the History tab. Because changes can be placed into the moderation queue, the reason can help moderators make their decision about approving the change.

    Minor edits are very small changes like spelling or grammar mistakes. When this is checked, the editor won't receive credit on the Article tab or on his/her profile.

    Administrators can force editors to enter a Reason via a setting in the Namespace Manager.
    Title

    The Title of an article is used to generate the article's URL and to link to the article from other pages. For this reason, changes to the Title or Thread Prefix are not recommended unless absolutely necessary.

    Once the Title and Thread Prefix are set, only editors with permission to "Edit Article Titles" can change them.

    If the Title or Thread Prefix is changed, VaultWiki will create another page with the original Title that forwards old links to the new location.

    This behavior can be suppressed by clicking "Do not create a redirect when renaming this page". Because using this option is equivalent to deleting the original title, it will only be available if the editor is able to delete the article.
    Meta Description

    The Meta Description is a short summary of the article that will be used by some search engines to determine a page's relevance to the search query.
    This page is a chapter in the book VaultWiki Manual.
