Why is everybody mentioning to use brakes for truing. Its not like everybody uses rim brakes these days.
Replacing "a spoke"?
Replace it and bring tension up so it's true. You didn't do anything to the other spokes.

Disk brakes?
Do what you would do if you were truing it at home. Else get it good enough to get home.
All you have to do is get it to NOT RUB until you can effect a "proper truing".
