About this board

I am new to wiki editing. I have loved reading wikis for a long time and have learned a lot from them, and figured I should give back. I feel like I'm making mistakes all the time in my edits, but I'm not sure in what way.

If you see me make an error, or accidentally revert something someone did, or you think there's a better way to do something that I didn't think of or am not aware of, or something else along those lines, please tell me! I want to improve as much as possible.

As a side note - what should I be focusing on right now? I've been trying to fix redlinks on Special:WantedPages and have also been working on adding Anomaly content to the wiki, but I want to get other peoples' opinions on what is most needed right now.

So far you've been killing it, i don't really have any stand-out critiques. Uhhh general advice to new editors is if you're stuck or wondering about formatting you can generally copy other pages. If you think there's a better way, give it a go but try to never lose information. Chestertons fence and all that. Ideally, categorize new pages & files beyond the maintenance and DLC banners. You're doing redirects and linking well, and I don't remember seeing this be an issue but a lot of new editors miss that you can do [[Psycast]]ers to do Psycasters and to avoid using underscores in either side of the link. And if you have any issues or questions always feel free to ask. I'm always around (just stick a topic on my talk page). Some of our other experienced editors edit in bursts - alternating long periods of frenzy and absence, but they're usually friendly too.

And if you're looking for stuff to do, there's always The To Do list

Thank you so much for the reply! I'll keep all of that in mind. Feel free to let me know if I make any mistakes in the future so I can learn from them and fix them.
