Hello & welcome!
Thanks for taking the time to come here. I'm extremely new to editing wikipedia, and I'm eager to learn! If I've made any kind of mistake - including best practices or style guides - please do let me know so I can continue to learn and grow my abilities.
I've been a wiki reader my whole life (who hasn't) and I'm excited to finally contribute. Right now I'm focusing on basic copy editing as a native English speaker with a firm grasp of spelling, grammar, punctuation (though I over-love the comma), structure, flow, etc. If you disagree with any of my edits, especially my sentence and style work, please do let me know so I can change my approach! If you can't tell, I'm earnest and nervous as I try to be bold.

Navigation popups

The Navigation popups gadget allows easier access to several Wikipedia features as "popups" which appear when you hover the mouse over links. With this useful tool, when you hover your mouse cursor over a wikilink you can see a preview of the article or image; plus you can activate convenient functions such as going directly to the talk, edit, or history pages.

To use the navigation popups gadget you must be logged in under your own user account and turn on the gadget in your Preferences, available at the top right of your screen. In your preferences you will find navigation popups under Gadgets, Browsing gadgets. Full instructions are on the Navigation popups page.

To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd}}

Tips to remember

[edit]
  • Jump to the search box [⇧ Shift+Alt+F]
  • section heads run from 2 "==" to 6 "======"
  • Indents made by leading colons "::: that's three tabs in wikimd"
    • it's called wiki markdown but what's the abbreviation, spacing?
  • write aiming for high-school level audience, not expert-level detail, jargon, etc.
  • hopefully I'm never tempted to COI but - List of bad article ideas
  • projects use the importance/priority scale, it's not a generalized rating
  • citation needed shorthand: {{cn}}
    • <nowiki> is the markup to isolate code
  • Sections started on talk pages aren't automatically signed!
    • so sign with ~~~~
  • category tags go at the bottom of pages
    • [[Category:Category name]] - add this text to articles to add the page to that category
    • [[:Category:Category name]] - this text LINKS to a category
