When editing tips for content and you find the tip relevant but the wording and spelling are poor and not getting the point across clearly is it fine to just rewrite while staying true to the writers intention?
Yup, if you see a really helpful tip that has some spelling or grammatical errors, we encourage editors to fix those mistakes or reword it entirely. That’s all part of the collaborative nature of wikiHow
It is best if you do that because all comments should be recognizable and without errors to provide the best experience to readers. Let me give you an example (this is not a real comment, I think) Article: How to jump Comment with errors: Bend yor knes befor you jump to get a lot mor hight Comment without errors: Bend your knees before you jump to get a lot more height. If you find something like above, try to change it so then people can read it without having to stop to comprehend what the comment is saying.
