If you add info, please make sure it is in the appropriate article or articles.  For example, if you have new information from an official article on [[Aqua]] you wish to add, the best place would probably be just in her article, and not in the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' article as well, unless it is something major related to the entire game.  Use your best judgement in deciding where to place info.  If you are unsure about where your information might be most appropriate, you can always ask a [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Staff|Staff Member]] or submit a question on the article's talk page or the [[KHWiki:Forums|Forums]] for advice.

Changes between articles are logged in the "History" section of the tool above, so if you want to go back and look at earlier versions of the article you or others have written, you can do so.
Changes made to articles are logged in the article's "History", accessible on the page's tabs, so if you want to go back and look at earlier revisions of the article you or others have written, you can do so.


Finally, if you have added a great deal of content, or think your edits might meet with controversy, you can provide a summary of the changes you made in the Summary bar just above the "Save Page" button.  This also makes it easier for others to see what information has been added or taken away from an article without having to delve into the History section.
