 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article or a Wikipedia policy, as it has not been reviewed by the community. |
 | 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.
