Help:Editing

Articles may develop a variety of problems which require cleanup in order to get the article to a higher level of quality. Problems can include typographical errors and poor grammar and spelling, poor wording, articles written in the first person, and other problems. If you run across such issues, please do the best you can to fix them yourself! If you can't fix an issue yourself and want to mark it for others, there are templates provided below.

Point of View[edit source]

Pages should be in third-person perspective. Do not use "I" or "you". In tutorials, the word "you" may be acceptable.

Short≠Bad[edit source]

Don't fall into thinking that a page being small means it is a stub. Sometimes small pages just don't have anything else that could be added to them. In that case, don't mark them as stubs, but do consider possibly merging their content into a larger (appropriate) page. On the other end of that, a page that's large may still lack important details, which would probably make it a stub if so.
