Some pages of helpful information to get you started:   Introduction to Wikipedia   The five pillars of Wikipedia   Editing tutorial   How to edit a page   Simplified Manual of Style   The basics of Wikicode   How to develop an article   How to create an article   Help pages   What Wikipedia is not

Some common sense Dos and Don'ts:   Do be bold   Do assume good faith   Do be civil   Do keep cool!   Do maintain a neutral point of view   Don't spam   Don't infringe copyright   Don't edit where you have a conflict of interest   Don't commit vandalism   Don't get blocked

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes ~~~~ at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!

To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Bypassing redirects

We generally don't bypass redirect. See WP:NOTBROKEN. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:00, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

I read that text before performing the edits. For the purpose of the three capitalization redirects, my action could be interpreted as correcting a navigation template, which is listed under "Good reasons to bypass redirects include:" on NOTBROKEN. Specifically, this template is used on Continuous integration, where the circular link in the template is now replaced with bold text.

Are there also questions regarding my second edit to the template? --AttemptToCallNil (report bug, view backtrace) 15:07, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
