3. Navigate to the Glossary section of the website: http://www.rpgresearch.com/documents/wiki/glossary

4. Look for any terms listed you would like to edit and click on that page's link, or if you do not see the term, see "create new glossary entry"

5. Edit the page by following the directions in the section "Edit the Existing Glossary Entry".
