Helpful hints for editors

Read the wiki guidelines! That page tells you how builds should be organised and other helpful information about the wiki's rules.
Make pages for recently leaked builds!
Help us to organize by placing pages in their right category (in example: Windows 1.0 should go in the category "Microsoft Windows").
Search for articles that can be improved. The stub category is a nice place to start.
