Tips
Provide Details.
Please be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Don't worry about formatting! We'll take care of it. For example:
Don't say: Eat more fats.
Do say: Add fats with some nutritional value to the foods you already eat. Try olive oil, butter, avocado, and mayonnaise.

EditTips

  • If noinclude tags are omitted, pages will appear in UserInfoBoxes.
  • Omit whitespace between noinclude tags and template content.
  • Generally, UIBs are only categorized in UserInfoboxes.
  • Provide a link to a template by adding temp|, such as {{temp|Billy Joel}}, which will appear as {{Billy Joel}}.
