Fishing#Fishing Areas) by using the "Edit" buttons there.

How do I start?
- You will need to create an account before you're able to edit pages.
- Don't be afraid to edit! If you make a mistake, you or someone else can easily fix it – so take the initiative and make a change if you think it's useful.
- Tip: when editing, you can also use the "Show preview" button to check how the page will look before you save it!
- Create an article! If you don't find what you're looking for, remember that the Melvor Wiki is made up of articles contributed by its users, it might just be that no one has written about that topic yet.
