The Elder Scrolls Wiki:Be bold in updating pages

Who can edit pages on The Elder Scrolls Wiki? You! Anyone with knowledge, appropriate images, or reliable sources can add information to articles. In fact, we encourage it. How else would our encyclopedia evolve?

Where did my edits go?
Editors will, under almost all situations, change or improve what you edit. This is part of the natural process of the wiki. Don't take it personally! You, also, will change other peoples' edits.

Politeness
Always Assume good faith when reviewing the edits of others, and they are expected to do the same to you.

Conflicts
Avoid adding or removing information that may create a "Conflict of Interest" or be considered a bad faith edit. If you are unsure about whether to add or remove information, add a section to the article's talk page, where other editors can speak their mind about the changes.

Name spaces
Any article without a prefix is considered a main space article. We encourage the editing of these articles. Categories with prefixes such as The Elder Scrolls Wiki:, Template:, Category: are special namespaces that are perhaps better left to editors with prior knowledge in this type of editing. Suggestions can always be made to Staff members, if you are unsure about what types of pages to avoid editing.

Removing information
Blatant Vandalism should be removed instantly, either by reverting or undoing the edits or by clicking the "Edit" button and removing the content manually. Any information considered contentious or likely false should probably be removed as well. If information seems dubious but could be true, perhaps flagging the sentence/paragraph with Citation is more appropriate. If contentious, but sourced information seems dubious to you, inspect the source, read through it, and remove the statement and source if the information sourced falls out of context.

Stub templates can be removed at any time when the article begins to offer sufficient coverage of a topic.

Maintenance templates that are no longer needed should be removed. However, make sure you check the article's talk page first, to see if editors left additional notes on why the article was flagged, please make sure the issue has been resolved before removing the template.

Infobox template should almost never been removed (but can be added to articles) unless the template is obsolete and you are replacing it with a new and improved version.
