Help:Introduction to policies and guidelines/4
| Policies and guidelines | Content | Conduct | Summary |
You can edit other people's work, they will edit yours. If your edits are undone, don't take offence - it is just part of the wiki process.
Do's:
- Use the Help desk for problems or even uncertainties
- Fill in the edit-summary box when making an edit
- Communicate on a talk page about changes, concerns or contentions
Don'ts:
- Stress too much about formatting at first, focus on getting the information clear, neutral and sourced
- Use multiple user accounts
- Edit war, like reverting others edits over and over (use the talk page)
- Write articles that you are affiliated with or are self-promotional
- Add anything you didn't personally write yourself (copyright is important!)
You should now have enough idea of the spirit of the guidelines and policies to begin editing with some confidence.
