Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Cassiopeia talk 22:57, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts

Hi Story1K, Good day, Since you interested in editing MMA article, you might want to check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts for some basic info and guidelines. Btw, we put the "fight of the year/knockout of the year/fighter of the year and etc. on the Achievement and Championship section and the info needs to be supported by independent, reliable source where you can put the inline citation next to the info by using the horizontal format of Template:Citeweb if the source is from the internet. Stay safe and best. Just pop by my talk page and if you need any help. Cassiopeia talk 23:03, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MMA related articles

Greetings. Since you have edited a number of pages of MMA related articles in Wikipedia, pls see the below info so you may understand how things work here. (I know there is a lot of info below, pls take your time to digest it and may be you need to reread or come back and read again in the near future to understand the info). Pls do not hesitate to contact on my talk page if you need any assistance as I am here to help.

MMA editing info

Pls visit Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts and read through the MMA Wikipedia guidelines.
When a bout is announced which stating "finalizing, in work, rumors, verbally agreed, in the press, this means the bout is not official yet. Wait until it official before place it under the "Announced bouts" section of the event page.
When a bout is announced in the press, editors put the match up in the "Announced bouts" section (inline citation is needed)
When UFC.com / its local web site (pls check the reference beneath the fight card table in the Wikipedia page), the editors would remove the bout in the "Announced bouts" and place it in the "fight card" section.
When a fighter pulls from a fight (due to injury/or by UFC/ visa issues and etc), we placed the info in the "Background section" (inline citation needed) and remove the injured fighter name and put "TBD".
When a injured fighter has been replaced, editor put the info in the background section (with inline citation). If the new match up has not been shown in the UFC.com fight card, then we will removed the match up from the fight card and place it back to "Announced section". If the match up already shown in the UFC.com then jut put the replacement fighter in the fight card section.
When the event named has been announced (such as UFC Fight Night: dos Santos vs. Tuivasa) then we place the info in the background section (with inline citation). If UFC.com has shown the event names (Fight Night events or UFC on ESPN) such as UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Medeiros or UFC on ESPN: Reyes vs. Weidman, then editor would move the article and article talk page name accordingly and not before, except the flagship event such as UFC 187, UFC 242 and etc.
No colour box in the fighter's page infobox at event fight card page. No title eliminator in the fight card or body text in fighter page or event page. No (c) - champion on the event fight card unless the fighter is the current champion of the weight division.
"method" in the fight table is as per Sherdog.com as per WP:MMA guideline and please do not interpret the method yourself even if the method is incorrect as Wikipedia is all about WP:verification and not the true.
Info box as per Sherdog. No other nick names or else we would have many nicknames pop up every time there is a internet meme.
Reach as per UFC.com as Sherdog dont have the info. Pls provide inline citation.
Stand - need to provide inline citation. IF you can find source to support it, leave it blank
Style - "The style parameter should only be used in MMA fighters that have participated professionally or in international competitions in other combat sports (i.e. boxing or kickboxing) and who are notable in said sports and deserve an article for their merits in these other sports (i.e. Antônio Rogério Nogueira, Alistair Overeem). It is suggested to MMA editors that they actively remove the style parameter in infoboxes of MMA fighters that do not meet these criteria." Leave style for modern mma fighter as they have to train several combat disciplines.
No Flag icon on info box or fight table.
Info could be obtain from Sherdog on Info box - need to support by sources such as teachers, belts, notable relatives, university, occupation outside fighting career and etc.

Other info

Pls read referencing to understand about referencing and how to provide inline citation.
