 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community.

Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia – editors must regularly interact with other editors, directly or indirectly, as their respective efforts to improve article content combine and cross. In most cases editing is intuitive and unproblematic, but there are cases where interactions leads to confusion, contention, or even outright hostility. This is particularly true where editors put significant effort into an article, only to find their work undone, rewritten, moved, or flagged with cleanup or dispute templates. This page outlines some common guidelines to help to prevent or reduce this kind of conflict, and to promote a smooth, collaborative working environment.
This page is a pragmatic guide, intended to supplement behavioral policies such as Consensus and wp:Civility, and complement other core policies.
