Line 7: Most content on Wikipedia naturally [[Wikipedia:Article development\|improves over time]]. However, this is not always the case, and none of us will be around forever to monitor the pages we care most about. This essay lists measures that can be taken to help prevent content from degrading over time. '''Use [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Hidden text\|hidden ~~comments~~text]] and [[WP:edit notices\|edit notices]]''' to warn against tempting but undesirable edits. For instance, set criteria for lists that might otherwise become bloated, or note next to a controversial element that there is consensus to include it. '''[[WP:Transclusion\|Transclude]] duplicate content''' instead of copying and pasting it. This ensures that updates or improvements to it will be synced with the page. *'''Avoid [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Statements_likely_to_become_outdated\|language likely to become outdated]]''', such as "recently", "currently", "so far", and "soon".
