General notices
- The gadget to opt-out search results from sister projects is created per discussion. Registered users may go to user preferences setup, find the opt-out option and select it.
- Search results from selected sister projects—Wiktionary,
Wikibooks, Wikivoyage (title matches only), Wikiquote, and Wikisource—are now activated. See more at the archived RfC discussion (short summary of results).
- Correction: There was "no consensus" to include search results from Wikibooks. Therefore, a Phabricator task was filed to suppress those search results.
- Do you have need for a specialized script that doesn't exist yet, or have an idea for a cool new script or gadget? Post requests and ideas at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests.
- Free subscriptions to high-quality paywalled journals, newspaper archives, and online reference works are available for Wikipedia editors. For more information, see Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Databases

- The Tip of The Day department needs editors to monitor the tips before they "go live". To do this, place {{Totd-tomorrow}} on your user page or user talk page. That will show the tip a day early. When you find an inaccuracy or other problem, you can fix it yourself, or report it at the Tip of the day talk page. Thank you!

Avoid using neologisms
Neologisms are words and terms that have recently been "coined" and generally do not appear in any dictionary. Avoid using neologisms when creating articles on Wikipedia, unless they are part of the subject being covered and need to be explained (in such a case be sure to define the new words). Neologisms include words made up on the spot, and these should never be used in a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia relies on established English to explain its subjects. It is important that every word in Wikipedia can be understood by those who read it. This ensures that Wikipedia always conveys accessible and meaningful knowledge.
