editandexpand

Editandexpand is a collaborative editing tool designed to facilitate the creation and improvement of Wikipedia articles. It was developed by the Wikimedia Foundation and is used by volunteers to enhance the quality and completeness of Wikipedia content. The tool is particularly useful for expanding stub articles, which are short, incomplete entries that need more detailed information.

Editandexpand operates by providing a structured interface that guides editors through the process of adding more content to an article. It includes features such as pre-filled templates, suggestions for additional sections, and links to relevant sources. This helps to ensure that new information is accurate and well-researched.

The tool is integrated into the Wikipedia editing environment, making it accessible to all registered users. It encourages a more systematic approach to editing, which can lead to higher-quality articles. However, it also requires a certain level of familiarity with Wikipedia's editing guidelines and policies.

Editandexpand has been widely adopted by the Wikipedia community, contributing to the continuous improvement of the encyclopedia. It reflects the collaborative nature of Wikipedia, where knowledge is shared and built upon by a global community of contributors.
