Thank you for creating an account on the JoinFediverseWiki with the intent to help improve this wiki. On this page you will (soon) find a lot of information about editing this wiki.

Basics about editing
MediaWiki's collection of help pages check out the Category:Editing guides (they still need some more info though) more coming soon (hopefully)

Basic rules for editing
don't spam, troll, harass or bully don't promote bigotry, hate-speech, right-wing indeologies or "free speech instances" don't willfully spread false information this wiki doesn't meet the same standards as Wikipedia e.g. for scientific writing or notability, but everything should be correct please don't remove text or heavily rewrite it before talking about it in the corresponding talk page if you're afraid of making a mistake and e.g. "breaking" a page Ask User:Paula for help Try it on the Project:Playground before editing the real page Just try. Mistakes can be undone. If you can't fix it yourself, ask User:Paula try to stick to the guidelines (links will follow)

Translations
Translating is also a part of editing. Find the rules about translating in the Project:Translation guide, which basically read: only translate the English text & don't add information use gender-inclusive language in languages that are usually not some tips about translating will follow soon (hopefully)
