![]() | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
![]() | This page in a nutshell: The amount of "mildly related" information in a given article should be kept to a bare minimum, if not removed entirely. |
When editing an article on Wikipedia it is often tempting to add as much information as possible to improve the quality of content on Wikipedia. While this is a laudable goal, adding in information which is not strongly tied to the article's subject can serve as a detriment to the quality of an article.
