==I see an error I want to correct, but the text doesn't appear in the editor, it just has one template. How do I fix it?==

Usually when you see this, it's because the data is specified on another page and that data is being [[mediawikiwiki:Transclusion|transcluded]] to the page you want to edit (typically with [[Help:Cargo|Cargo]]). If you want to correct this, do it by editing the page it is pulling that data from, not the page(s) it is transcluded to; this has the benefit of updating all pages that transclude that data in one edit. ~~For example, if you see a list~~ of ~~upgrades and~~ an upgrade's cost is incorrect, go to that upgrade's page and change the cost in the infobox to fix it for all pages that use that data.

If you want to correct this, do it by editing the page it is pulling that data from, not the page(s) it is transcluded to; this has the benefit of updating all pages that transclude that data in one edit. Some examples of how to edit Cargo data:

*If an upgrade's cost in a list of upgrades is incorrect, go to that upgrade's page and change the cost in the infobox to fix it for all pages that use that data.

*If a change in an update history section is incorrect, go to the page for that update and change it to fix it for all pages that use that data.
