| Remember – you can't break the wiki; all edits can be reversed, fixed or improved later. Although the Wiki is allowed to be imperfect, it does have a clear mechanism to differentiate //Drafts// from //Approved// documents. If the topic expert doesn't agree with the edits - they will revert them. Go ahead, edit an article. | Remember, you can't break the wiki; all edits can be reversed, fixed or improved later.
