Notes for Learning to Edit Wikipedia

Topics to potentially cover:

  • Navigating the UI, creating an account, understanding how page structure works and the utility or lack thereof of left nav; why there are so many banners and words everywhere
  • Link overload and rabbitholes
  • Community norms and codes of conduct, things like abbreviations ("NPOV") that relate to core principles
