Tips & Tricks

💡 Tips & Tricks

Editing a wiki becomes much easier once you develop good habits. This page collects practical tips and best practices to help you edit more efficiently and avoid common mistakes.

✨ General Editing Tips

Start with small edits before tackling larger projects.
Read the entire page before making changes.
Follow the formatting already used on the page whenever possible.
Keep articles consistent with the rest of the wiki.
If you’re unsure about a change, ask another editor before publishing it.

📝 Use Edit Summaries

Every time you save an edit, write a short edit summary.

Good examples:

Fixed spelling mistakes
Updated Build Mode section
Added missing images
Corrected formatting

A clear edit summary helps other editors understand what changed.

👀 Always Preview Your Changes

Before saving:

Click Show Preview
Check headings
Check links
Check spelling
Check tables
Check templates
Make sure images appear correctly

Previewing your work prevents accidental mistakes from being published.

📚 Keep Formatting Consistent

Consistency makes the wiki easier to read.

Try to keep:

Heading sizes consistent
Lists formatted the same way
Images aligned similarly
Tables using the same style
Template usage consistent across similar pages

If you’re unsure, compare your page with another well-written article.

🔗 Double-Check Links

Before saving, verify that:

Internal links point to the correct page.
External links still work.
There are no unnecessary duplicate links.
Red links are intentional.

Broken links make navigation more difficult for readers.

📷 Working with Images

When adding images:

Use clear file names.
Upload high-quality images.
Avoid blurry screenshots.
Keep image sizes reasonable.
Add captions where helpful.

Images should support the article—not distract from it.

📑 Organise Information Clearly

Instead of writing large blocks of text:

Use headings
Use bullet lists
Break information into sections
Add tables where appropriate
Keep paragraphs short

Well-organised pages are easier to read and maintain.

🚫 Common Mistakes

Try to avoid:

Forgetting to preview changes.
Creating duplicate pages.
Removing information without explanation.
Breaking templates.
Using inconsistent formatting.
Saving large edits without an edit summary.
Posting information to early.

Everyone makes mistakes—learning from them is part of becoming a better editor.

⭐ Productivity Tips

As you gain experience:

Bookmark useful reference pages.
Keep a list of commonly used templates.
Save useful code snippets.
Learn keyboard shortcuts.
Review other editors’ work to discover new techniques.

Small improvements to your workflow can save a lot of time over many edits.
