Have you ever clicked that [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:stub|stub]] link?  I hadn't. I thought it belonged on every article that needed more information.  Not so, as it turns out.  Click it and read.

This is a '''wiki'''. ''Every'' page could stand improvement.  If you add a stub to every short page you post, they don't count in our page count.  It's not that big a deal, but leaving off unnecessary stubs helps give us a better understanding of the progress we're making in building the wiki.

When linking to a page, if the link is particularly relevant to a specific [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Section|section]] of the page, you can have the link take people straight to that section by adding the # sign and the section title to the link. If you include a section link in an article, always use a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Piped link|piped link]] to display normal text for readability. Also, keep in mind that the section title might change, in which case the link will simply go to the top of the linked page. [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Redirect|Redirects]] do not follow section links, however, so it is useless to include them there.

Accuracy and peer review

We strive to make NSwiki as accurate as possible. If you see something that you know is wrong, be bold and fix it. If you see something that seems wrong, leave a note on the talk page and remove questionable assertions if no supporting evidence is provided. Peer review happens constantly through the Recent Changes page and watchlists, but it can also be solicited on NSwiki:Peer review or, if you think that an article is really good, by nominating it on NSwiki:Featured article candidates. Regardless, we do not guarantee accuracy and have a variety of other disclaimers. These are linked from every page, so please do not add disclaimers to articles!

Graphics with Wrapping Text

Adding text wrap in graphics is easier than you think. You just need a small table. For example, here's a simple pictureframe:

{| align="right" border="1"
