==Helpful links for easy editing== |
|||
From Ivana: |
|||
This category contains almost 150k articles with small css errors that anyone can fix. If you click on a specific subcategory it tells you exactly what is wrong and how to fix it. |
|||
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:CS1_errors |
|||
This one is for unsourced statements (it has more than 500k articles). A little bit trickier cause you need to know how to cite a source and which ones are acceptable. But it's good practice. |
|||
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:All_articles_with_unsourced_statements |
|||
This compiles pages that need translation or proofreading. So anyone proficient in any of the languages mentioned can help without needing to know anything technical. |
|||
(the first list will return a random article and the second one shows categories for all articles in a specific language) |
