*Putting two spaces after a period (as is common practice) will only show up as one space when typing plain text. It basically wastes server space.

*See [[Help:Contribute Content]] for more help on specific types of pages.▼

*Spelling and grammar count...PROOFREAD! Firefox has spell check built-in (tools → options → advanced tab → "Check my spelling as I type").▼
*When you add programming examples to a page, make sure you insert them in the proper alphabetical order.▼
:*Case-insensitive▼
:*Longer words come after shorter words that start with the same sequence ("bar" comes before "barber" and [[C]] comes before [[C++]])▼
*If you change only a small portion of a page (correcting spelling, adding punctuation, etc.), check the "This is a minor edit" box so that people can filter out typo fixes when they search.▼
*Try to make the most of each edit. Five minor edits to a page in a ten minute span crowds the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page.▼
*Try to add explanation in sentences to more complex examples. Write as if someone who has never heard of your language is reading.▼
