Here's a guide to preventing typos when typing in a Wiki article for the Geometry Dash Wiki. I had to sum all of this up into one topic for your viewing, so read carefully!

TIPS ON HOW TO PREVENT TYPOS!

1. Don't type too fast, as the keyboard's keys may sometimes (but not always) not respond, thus leaving you with a typo.

Like this: "This is AgentJN" (what the?)

And like this: "Strangly, these portals are all reached by teleporters." (Deadlocked, Trivia section)

Or sometimes if you type too fast, then certain letters may swap themselves...

Like this: "that have an ultimate acheivement for collecting all the coins in each level." (Geometry Dash Meltdown, Trivia section)

2. Review your work before saving it! If you spot any typographical errors, fix them quick before creating a new edit. (Yeah, we all know that tip, so don't hammer me down for that)

3. Don't be repetitive.

Like this: "Deadlocked has a triple speed portal as well"

We all know that some levels have a triple speed portal, and this info should not be too repetitive! (Seth4564ti)

4. Be careful of your observations!

ToE2 has a triple speed portal? No thanks! That was a double speed portal at the mini ship sequence. Some people cannot see certain map components like speed portals correctly behind gamemode portals and light bg decorations, thus leading them to think that a double speed portal is triple speed. Be careful when observing what you are playing in Geometry Dash! (and this rule is IMPORTANT to people who can't tell colors (or probably colorblind)

5. Watch the false info!

"If you go below the UFO portal you will become a portal"

What become a portal? A portal is no gamemode. The text was extracted by user Lexography. Rule #4 says that you should be careful of your observations, but if you are editing and you spot false information, remove or edit! That would be related to people who are sometimes not following Rule #4. (see above)

Please post your own rules here so I can review them and add them to the topic. Follow THEM please, or Geometry Dash Wiki may become a great mess if those typos can't be prevented.
