Simple Editing Jobs Anyone Could Do

• Fix typos and grammar problems!
  • Exception are dictionary entries with a [OWNER] tag. If problems with such entry, make a note in the discussion tag.
• Look at dictionary entries, if they contain another Tibetan word or expression, do a lookup, if it's available, make a link to this word from the page where the word of expression resides.
• Find links in pages and point them at the main site, for example, if you find a single word such as Sakya, make a link to Sakya. Do a global search to find a suitable entry. Learn the wikimedia page name|string notation to do clean redirects, for example Sakya tradition.
• Find entries with strange characters, most likely diacritical marks, and change them so they show up as platform-independent letters.
