Editing tips

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

Consider expanding an article from Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles as part of the Stub Reduction Drive and nominating it at Did You Know?.
Per WP:MOSCAPS, television shows, such as RAW and iMPACT!, should be written as Raw and Impact!.
Avoid using bolding to emphasize text. See MOS:BOLD for appropriate uses of bold text.
