[edit] Guidance
Civility costs nothing, and buys everything. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu |
- Write good edit summaries
- (and leave good diffs!)
- Avoid Wikipedia jargon
- Keep things understandable to newcomers and passers-through.
- Reduce confusion by following policy
- Use the rules as roads, not fences.
[edit] Tips and tricks
- Try QPreview (by Alex Smotrov): it should be default functionality.
- Create internal query string links using {{querylink|Foo|qs=args|bar}}, for example:
{{querylink|User talk:Piet Delport|qs=action=edit§ion=new|new message}} → new message
