Notes

[edit]
  • Definition of minor edit in Help:Minor edit :
    • aeration of text
    • disambiguation
    • internal link
    • ortho
    • repair of external link (not for addition / removal)
    • typo
  • {{Other uses}} (or {{Distinguish}}) should be set at the beginning of an article, even before {{Stub}}
  • For articles with disambiguated title, there is no need to add a hatnote, except when there is still a doubt, ex : Matt Smith (comics) and Matt Smith (illustrator), cf WP:NAMB
  • According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Plurals:
    • collective nouns are mostly treated as singular in American English
    • collective nouns are mostly treated as plural in British English
  • Beware, towns have a double categorization, by county and by state, for instance Category:Towns in Maryland
  • When creating a page (except redirect), check the equivalent item in wikidata
