This section is devoted to helping project members become familiar with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

1. When adding headers to articles, do not add wikilinks to them and only capitalize the first letter of the first word and any proper nouns.
2. Do not give undue weight to recent events in articles.
3. If you come across an article that fails notability requirements, you can tag it for speedy deletion if the criteria apply, propose it for deletion, or nominate it at WP:AFD.
4. Trivia sections are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.
5. The lead section of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article.
