Maybe you noticed that the article on your favourite aircraft is a bit [[:Category:out of date|out of date]] and you can give it a refresh, or the Howto on making coffee on the 747 [[:Category:cleanup|needs a cleanup]], or the one on Blender [[:Category:Image requested|lacks a picture]], you have found a spam link or simply a typo and want to fix it! All are very valid reasons to join and every little effort helps the maintainers, even just adding the [[:Category:Maintenance templates|proper template]] to let them know. Remember to add a meaningful summary message, maintainers [[Special:RecentChanges|do read them]]!) | |||
By the way, do you want to help with [[Help:Maintenance|regular maintenance]]? That would give you the opportunity to learn a whole lot on the FlightGear project. In fact, ''maintaining documentation is the classical way of getting into an open project''. | |||
This portal provides links to useful wikitools and articles, ranging from how to write your first article to extensive markup techniques. See also the [[Help:Contents|help pages]]. | |||
