Careful when editing any article that begins with Template: ... these things have consequences on the whole encyclopedia. So for instance your guide to the meaning of claims was showing up in all articles using the Claim Template. I added noinclude tags around your text so it just shows at the template page but not in the other pages. Generally it will be preferable for you to start entirely new pages that start with Editing:TitleofPage if you'd like to start setting up the structure for our review standards.

Understood. Thanks for the instruction. Cyanide Taste Sampler
- Awesome work with the Editing namespace. You've split up very small subjects here so perhaps you'll want to make a general guide in a single page that refers to these subpages as subsections maybe. JFG (talk) 01:48, 23 January 2022 (UTC)
