When editing Metawiki, mistakes can happen at any time. It is impossible to be a perfect user.
Mistakes may not be accepted in good faith when:
- they are intentional
- they are repeated over a period of time despite other users pointing out similar behavior
On the other hand, mistakes should not be pointed out as a tool to prove that someone else is unqualified to edit an article.
Remember that mistakes need help, not criticism.
