Using the present tense for story summaries of works of fiction is the standard on a lot of wikis. However, on this wiki, the community decided to use the past tense for summaries thorough a community vote and we thus enforce this policy throughout our wiki. We don't really expect all new people to get this right on their first day, but volume 9's article does have a special cleanup label at the top stating that the article needs to be rewritten in the past tense.

Since some progress had already been made on the aforementioned cleanup issue and your edit basically reverted all that work, I was a bit stricter with your edit and decided to undo it entirely until it was rewritten in the past tense before properly reviewing it, especially seeing as I noticed that at least part of the text would not really work in the past tense and would thus need to be rewritten. Just changing the tense wouldn't solve all the issues with your edit, but it would make it easier for me to make specific corrections/improvements to it, so I wouldn't need to undo the entire edit this time. Your edit is still available in the article's edit history, so you wouldn't need to start over from scratch with your edit.

As for your second question, a lot of our guidelines are, unfortunately, only oral at the moment, as we lacked the manpower to write down a comprehensive editing guideline for the wiki. So far, we only have a written guideline for images and referencing. The guidelines for other stuff have yet to be written down in one place, though some of the common issues that we have had to deal with can be found on https://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/MediaWiki:Community-corner. As such, I highly recommend visiting our Discord server (https://discord.gg/PRUcDpM), where the majority of our editor community is gathered. Other editors would be able to give you pointers and answer any questions you have while you're getting used to how the wiki works. Just note that the server currently has a verification system in place - you'll get an automated message from a bot on how to pass the verification when you join the server.
