I have added the above welcome template to all user discussion pages of users having registered after April this year, in the hope that more of the users will understand how a wiki using MediaWiki typically works, and make them aware of the style guide (which I believe might be loosely based on the style guide of the English Wikipedia).

Welcome to my talk page.
Checking automated grammar and spelling correction with Grammarly
I have looked at some of your initial edits and feel that I need to ask you to not trust Grammarly blindly.
While the very most of the corrections are correct there are some technical terms that Grammarly seems to be unaware of. These are not all that many so far, but they will likely become more.
In Changelog 2.4.0 edit:
- "Ballistic objects can slave to any AI object" should still be "Ballistic objects can be slaved to any AI object"
- "Moved to make based build system" should be "Moved to CMake based build system" (See CMake
)
Also typically there would be single whitespace between the equal signs and the title, though that is not visible on the rendered page (it makes the wiki markup slightly easier to read).
Apart from checking what Grammarly suggests or does, feel free to go on. Some of the FlightGear wiki users sometimes use all lowercase, odd punctuation, etc. In addition, the Manual of Style was not around until 2014, and I am certain most users are still oblivious to its existence. Because of these and some other things the wiki is sometimes a bit of a mess.
I have added the above welcome template to all user discussion pages of users having registered after April this year, in the hope that more of the users will understand how a wiki using MediaWiki typically works, and make them aware of the style guide (which I believe might be loosely based on the style guide of the English Wikipedia). Some of us have looked into having it added automatically to discussion pages of new users and adding it to all existing user discussion pages, similar to how they are used on some language editions of Wikipedia.
