- To make Recent Changes more useful for all users, remember to provide an edit summary in the "Summary" field before you save your changes.
- You can set the wiki to prompt you for a summary in your preferences.
- When posting on an article's Talk page you should add four tilde symbols or ~~~~ onto the end.
- This will add a signature and timestamp to your comment so others can easily tell who posted it.
- Any new sections on an article's Talk page should be added to the bottom of the page and not to the top.
- When editing normal article pages, don't sign your contributions.
- You can use the
button in the editing toolbar to quickly add a signature.

Redirects
Hi there. Regarding your created redirects it is important to stress that redirects shouldn't be used as an "ad-hoc search engine". The wiki has an autocomplete function when you type in the search box, which lets users know which articles are present on the wiki. Because of this users don't type search terms into the box because it is both an ineffective and a fruitless way to find articles. Instead redirects should be used for common names for items or situations where the item has been renamed etc. I hope that helps. —
