Wikipedia:Three steps
 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
 | This page in a nutshell: In 2024, the ability of people to follow hyperlinks on a web page really shouldn't be that surprising. |
It's sometimes said that a new editor showing up on a noticeboard such as ANI, or cite a policy such as assume good faith "must" be a sock. Either that or they can read. Wikipedians have put a lot of time into providing help and encouragement for new editors; it should not be a shock that some actually RTFM.
In fact it's only three steps from any page to ANI or AGF[1]
- Help:Contents is on the navigation panel.
- Help links to Wikipedia:Plain and simple
- The working efficiently together section of plain and simple directs users to use noticeboards and explicitly mentions WP:ANI, and Getting along with other editors explicitly references WP:AGF.
