MediaWiki:Prototown-editing-style-guidance

Editing style: To maintain a consistent informational voice, contributors should run new or substantially revised prose through a general-purpose language model such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude and ask for a neutral, concise, Wikipedia-style rewrite. Review the result carefully before publishing: retain the original meaning, verify every factual claim, preserve citations, and remove anything the model invents. Only submit material to an external service if it is already appropriate for public disclosure.

Suggested prompt template
