Single quick reference for editing.
Interface
2017 wikitext editor is what makes adds visual tools to source editing (replace very old UI)
Use ⇧ Shift+Alt for keyboard shortcuts
Talk
{{tq|quoted text}} produces quoted text
Most inline icons like 
Done are just the word(s) like {{done}}. (Don't overuse these.)
todo: diff templates
Civility
Anonymous text-based communication is hard. Consciously review WP:AGF before saving. Avoid italics and especially boldface in general – it sticks out more than you think. Repetition is fine if it's not painfully obvious.
Drafting
Citations
See Help:Citation Style 1#Templates. Help:Citation Style 2 is very similar, differing in punctuation. Choosing templates: focus more on whether the displayed cite adequately expresses metadata than matching source type exactly to stated type in template.
Page numbers: unless shortened footnotes in use, use {{rp|1}} or {{rp|1-2}}.[a]
