Editing Project:Observatory Users Manual (section)

==== IV: Insert the MediaWiki code of your Article into the Observatory “Article text” (body) field of your Article Draft ====
Now you have your MediaWiki source code for the Article body ready to upload into the Observatory. Here’s what’s next:
 
# '''Open the new converted MediaWiki file''' of the Article body with your plaintext editor of choice ('''TextEdit''' or '''Notes''').
## Macs have the TextEdit app; PCs have Notes or a similar app.
### Mac users: If when you double-click the file it doesn’t open in TextEdit by default, then you can set it up:
#### Select the MediaWiki file, then open up a pop-up menu by pressing '''control+click→“Open With”→“Other'''.”
#### Change “Enable” field from “Recommended Applications” to “All Applications” and then look for TextEdit.
#### Double-click the TextEdit icon.
#### After this, TextEdit should appear on the “Open With” part of the above.
#### Recommended: You can make TextEdit the default app to open this kind of file now or later or never. If you made TextEdit default, it will open with TextEdit if you double-click a file of this type from now on.
# Copy the Article body (exclude frontmatter) part of the contents of the plaintext document and paste it into the “Article text” (Article body field) of your Draft on Observatory.wiki (whether you are in “Edit with form” or “Edit” mode, you need to be in “Edit Source” mode for “Source editing,” not Visual Editor).
# Check for errors in Visual Editor mode.
