Subject: [WikiEN-l] Editor's guides Is there such a thing as editors' guides to specific areas?
For example, the Trinidad and Tobago article attracts people all the time who add "new" information which is already contained in some subarticle. They don't expect the level of depth of Trinidad and Tobago articles that exist, so they just add something that's "missing", probably unaware of what exists.
I think there's a better way to frame the problem. The problem is when people look for information in the way they expect to look for it, under the heading where they expect to find it, they aren't finding it.

At a quick glance, [[Trinidad and Tobago]] is correctly formatted with "main article: " links. All I could suggest would be a different slicing of info with a "everything related to T&T" infobox. Currently this article slices horizontally twice (Countries in the Caribbean; Caribbean Community), and has one country infobox with all the basic stats on the country (as normal). A vertical slicing (History of T&T, Economy of T&T...) might help...slightly...but would probably add more clutter than anything useful.
