Welcome! edit
I use wikipedia a lot. When things are clearly messed up I'll try to clean them up.
Maybe someday I'll add significant content of my own...
My notes for editing wikipedia edit
Linking edit
Single brackets are used to link to external websites
Double brackets are used to link to internal wikipedia pages
The pipe operator splits [[The wiki page name|from the display name]]
Citing Sources edit
Use ref tags.
