 * When updating an existing package in the Directory, if you suspect the package has changed and become proprietary software, then this should be flagged for urgent review immediately. Also, contact another administrator letting them know about the situation.
 * If you are having trouble updating or checking the license for a package, don't let this halt updating other aspects of the package's information. Simply update the information you can and then either update the existing bug report, or create a new bug report that states the license info needs to be checked and updated. Note that this applies to ''updating'' a license, not ''adding'' a new project to the directory.

 === Entry editing tips and guidelines ===
-* In the ''Documentation note'' and ''Version comment'' fields, make sure all URLs are formatted as external links. Simply pasting the URL is bad because it does not create a clickable link and because long URLs create formatting errors due to poor line wrap support.
+There is a manual that describes the meaning of each field in Form:Entry: [[FSD:Workflow/Entry|Guide to Form:Entry]]. It also marks which fields are important or required.
-* Make sure IRC channels are formatted as URIs in the formatted like such: ''irc://irc.gnu.org/channelname'' &mdash; notice that the hash tag of the channelname is optional.
-* The ''Submitted by'' and ''Submitted date'' should only be edited the first time a project is submitted.
-* If you are making a very minor change, do not bother updating the ''Last reviewed'' fields. However, if you are updating the software to indicate a new version has been released or have improved it in other substantial and interesting ways, make sure you updated the ''Last reviewed by'' and ''Last reviewed date''. This will add it to an RSS feed of recent updates.
