I don't think editing entries in Headscratchers and WMG is allowed aside from the most extreme of cases.

While there's some degree of manual of style, these are basically free chat areas and nobody has decided to come up with ways to moderate them yet.

The only thing that gets cleaned up in Headscratchers pages (besides standard trope cleanup) is complaining and uncivil comments/arguing.

Are obvious spelling corrections allowed (like "the" for "teh", "their" for "thier", etc? Just asking for future reference because I tend to automatically correct any misspellings I see so I want to know if I should avoid doing so on those pages.

That, and we technically don't allow first person there even if it's a more chatty area... It's just not well enforced right now.

We do have a cleanup thread somewhere, that I'm too lazy to dig up, but all we really cleanup there are basic things like It Just Bugs Me holdovers too bashy to actually be questions, meta questions that pertain to the real-life circumstances of the work and not the work itself, and duplicates.
