 | This page in a nutshell: Remember to stay calm while looking through policies and guidelines on Wikipedia. |
It's easy to be overwhelmed by the number of policies and guidelines on Wikipedia. We are reminded to be civil, write notable articles, and use inline citations, among many other things. However, remember to keep your cool. It's not worth it to panic over these policies, since the only reason they are there is to make Wikipedia a lot easier to use.
