    • Any new sections on an article's Talk page should be added to the bottom of the page and not to the top.
    • When editing normal article pages, don't sign your contributions.
    • You can use the Signature Icon.png button in the editing toolbar to quickly add a signature.

Redirects

Hi there. Regarding your created redirects it is important to stress that redirects shouldn't be used as an "ad-hoc search engine". The wiki has an autocomplete function when you type in the search box, which lets users know which articles are present on the wiki. Because of this users don't type search terms into the box because it is both an ineffective and a fruitless way to find articles. Instead redirects should be used for common names for items or situations where the item has been renamed etc. I hope that helps.
