Where to get help

Now you have a basic overview of how to contribute to Wikipedia. But there is a lot more you'll learn along the way as you get started. If you need help, here are some places you can go:

Static help
  • Help:Contents is the main help page that will guide you in the right direction. The help page may be reached at any time by clicking help displayed under the Interaction tab on the left side of all pages.
  • Help:Contents/Browse is a main menu-style page that will direct you to the right place to find information.
  • Help:Contents/Directory is a descriptive listing of all Wikipedia's informative, instructional and consultation pages.
  • Wikipedia: The Missing Manual is a converted book that covers most subjects, split into 21 chapters.
Interactive help
  • The Teahouse, a place for new editors to introduce themselves, asks questions, and find support from other editors
  • The Help desk, where you can ask questions about how to use and edit Wikipedia
  • If you place {{Help me}} (including the curly brackets) "then your question" on your talk page, a volunteer will visit you there!
  • The help channel for live chat help from other Wikipedians
