If an article is written in a highly technical manner, but the material permits a more understandable explanation, then editors are strongly encouraged to rewrite it.   == How to edit == Editing Ayurwiki pages is relatively simple.

This is done by clicking searching it on the Move tab ''search bar'' at the top right section of the page (you need to be registered and an 'autoconfirmed' user to be able to do this).

A file that is already hosted on Ayurwiki can be inserted with the basic code. ("Image:" can be substituted for "File:" with no change in effect; the choice between the two is purely a matter of editorial preference.) Using "thumb" generates a thumbnail of an image (the most common placement option), which is typically sized differently from If the original image. Several options can affect a thumbnail's placement and size, and there are other methods for placing images not in a thumbnail format, such as in a frame, table or "infobox", which this summary page does not delve into. Only logged in users can upload files under an appropriate title. The first step in uploading a file is to determine its copyright status. If a file is in the public domainexist, or bears a type of free copyright license compatible with the non-restrictive licenses we require for free reuse, then it can and should you'll be uploaded prompted to the Ayurwiki. If the image is non-free then it cannot be uploaded to the Ayurwikicreate a new page.
