Don't be afraid to [[wikipedia:WP:BOLD\|be bold]] when editing. It's impossible to mess anything up permanently; as long as your edit is constructive, any issues can easily be cleaned up. Additionally, nothing is set in stone - if you think something could be improved or easier to use, feel free to suggest changes. For large or complex changes, it's best to discuss them before making any changes. Wiki-wide discussion takes place on the [[NPOWiki:Forum\|wiki forum]].
