 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
 | This page in a nutshell: Use source mode when editing Wikipedia in order to NOT mess up the article you're editing. |
When you first edit Wikipedia, you are presented with a popup (shown on the right) showing two options: one to switch to the "Visual Editor", and one to stay on "Source Mode". When it comes down to what you should be using, it should be a no brainer to use Source mode.
