1. Basic rules of editing

Scaffolding your editing

Take it from me, it’s not a great idea to make your first edit something really involved, like expanding a stub or creating a new article from scratch. Instead, here are the most common edits ranked from easiest (top) to hardest (bottom). 

1. Linking to an orphan article

2. Adding a citation

3. Adding images and/or multimedia

4. Expanding a stub

5. Writing an entire article from scratch
