  • I am interested in standards and tools for articles so please let me know any that you would recommend.
  • Disambiguation - The community has adopted the standard of routing all intentional disambiguation links in mainspace through "Foo (disambiguation)" redirects. This makes it clear that such links are intended to point to the disambiguation page. Not sure if the following is correct. See WP:INTDAB, explanation
    • {{About}}: {{About|the American city|other uses|Lancaster (disambiguation){{!}}Lancaster}} results in
  • Archiving a talk page automatically and placing an {{Archive box }} {{Auto archiving notice}}

  • Wikilinks: Generally, a link should appear only once in an article, but if helpful for readers, links may be repeated in infoboxes, tables, image captions, footnotes, and at the first occurrence after the lead.
    • Duplicate links in an article can be identified by using a tool that can be found at User:Ucucha/duplinks.
    • To add more links use Find Link. Enter the title of an article, hit search, and up comes a list of articles.
    • Piped link is different from the title of the page. Keep piped links as intuitive as possible and avoid "easter egg links."
    • MOS:NOPIPE Redirects are usually better than piping
  • External links - User notice: {{Uw-inline-el}}, I removed external links you added to the main body of an article.
  • Footnotes
  • Notes
