User blog comment:Slyst/Helping out on Central/@comment-5558012-20160226175915

A near perfect listing. Don't duplicate and Don't "caret" are by far the worst. I can recall a few threads (there's definitely more) where three or four users purely stated along the lines of "do the above" or reposted something a user stated above that wasn't what the OP was looking for and I just wanted to pull my hair out (thankfully I haven't seen it much lately). Though, to be fair, duplicate comments sometimes happen, primarily in close succession when the thread hasn't been reloaded before posting a response.

Following threads is what I would recommend for anyone that wants to learn more about problem solving on Wikia and wish to one day help people. I still follow threads I don't know the answers to. It's a great way to expand your knowledge to not only help others but come up with ideas that could be applied to wikis you contribute to.
