This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

1. Do not link the title of an article in its lead section if the title is already in bold, per WP:LEDE.
2. When expanding pay-per-view articles, avoid using wrestling jargon without an explanation, per WP:JARGON, maintain an out-of-universe perspective of the article, per WP:IN-U, and avoid writing in excess detail, per WP:PLOT. For further information see WP:PW/PPVG.
3. Our project has a cleanup listing. Please help by adding sources or expanding any articles listed here.
4. When the title of an refers to several things, it is necessary to provide links or disambiguate the page so that readers typing in that title can quickly navigate to the article that interests them. For example: World Heavyweight Championship (WWE).
5. When editing an article, use the edit summary to provide a brief summary of your edits; this helps users understand what was changed in the article.

4. When the title of an refers to several things, it is necessary to provide links or disambiguate the page so that readers typing in that title can quickly navigate to the article that interests them. For example: World Heavyweight Championship (WWE).
5. Addition of content that is likely to be challenged in an article needs to be verified with a reliable source
6. Do not overlink terms in an article, only make links where they are relevant to the context.
7. When creating an article that has an image, make sure the image is right-aligned in the lead or in the infobox, per MOS:IMAGES.
