"Fixing" links: new section
Caution: Unconstructive editing. (TW)
Line 36: Line 36:


Hi, I wanted to let you know that "fixing" links is not only unnecessary, but it is actually discouraged. You can read more about it at [[WP:NOTBROKEN]]. Basically, it is ok to change the link if you are changing the target page, especially if you are [[WP:DAB|disambiguating]] links. But if the link in question already redirects to the correct page, please do not "fix" it. Let me know if you have other questions about this. – [[User:Mistakenformatt|Mformatt]]<sup>([[User talk:Mistakenformatt|So it goes.]])</sup> 18:50, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

You don't have to log in to read or edit articles on Wikipedia, but if you wish to acquire additional privileges, you can simply create a named account. It's free, requires no personal information, and lets you:

If you edit without using a named account, your IP address (2601:541:4500:1760:218:8BFF:FE74:FE4F) is used to identify you instead.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. We also have an intuitive guide on editing if you're interested. By the way, please make sure to sign and date your talk page comments with four tildes (~~~~).
