Editing
What / who is WindBOT? Why is he always changing my edits?
WindBOT is an automated editing bot run by WindPower. It monitors the recent changes feed for pages, scans and then edits them according to a list of filters; among the most common of the bot's tasks are correcting capitalization and misspellings, links, templates and applying other fixes.
How can I get WindBOT to stop editing a page?
WindBOT can ignore a selected part of a page by wrapping text inside the template {{botignore}}. For example, with a sentence like It was a {{botignore|direct hit}} on the target., the bot will skip over the words 'direct hit' and leave it capitalized in its current form.
More complicated cases can be added to WindBOT's page blacklist.

How do I get a Wiki Cap?

What do the colored plus and minus numbers mean next to an edit?
They represent the number of bytes added or removed in a particular edit. For example, (+264) means there were 264 bytes in total added to the page. (0) indicates that content was changed, but the amount of bytes remains the same.
These numbers are not related to points or scoring in any way. They simply indicate at a glance what was changed in one particular edit.
