Feed The Beast Wiki:Beginners make mistakes

Beginners make mistakes. Beginners, usually referred to as "new users", make errors. In fact, all users make mistakes, but beginners almost always make mistakes.

How can a beginner not make a mistake? There's a lot to know about contributing to a wiki, and a lot that could go wrong; looking through existing examples, guidelines and guides can minimize this, but sometimes there being more to consider only makes it more confusing.

So, don't feel bad if you make a beginner's mistake! Part of learning is making mistakes. How can you improve without any? Any editor that's ever contributed new content have all had their errors. Don't be proud of your mistake, but don't be too embarrassed of it; everyone makes them!
