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're making lots of great contributions. Thank you very much. Perhaps you should consider registering an account. DrVogel (talk) 15:40, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
Welcome!
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions so far. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
Here are some links to pages you may find useful:
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- Simplified Manual of Style
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:
- Create new pages and rename pages
- Edit semi-protected pages
- Upload images
- Have your own watchlist, which shows when articles you are interested in have changed
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.
I hope that you, as a Wikipedian, decide to continue contributing to our project: an encyclopedia of human knowledge that anyone can edit. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, or you can 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 (~~~~).
Happy editing! DRAGON BOOSTER ★ 15:56, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

"Fixing" links
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 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. – Mformatt(So it goes.) 18:50, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them.
