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
