In every article, links will guide the user to associated articles, often with additional information. Anyone is welcome to add information, cross-references or citations, as long as they do so within Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|editing policies]] and to an appropriate standard. One need not fear accidentally damaging Wikipedia when adding or improving information, as [[Wikipedia:Who writes Wikipedia|other editors]] are always around to advise or correct obvious errors, and Wikipedia's software, known as [[MediaWiki]], is carefully designed to allow easy reversal of editorial mistakes.
