Learn how to edit Wikipedia

Anyone can contribute to one of the Wikimedia projects; to learn more check out the introductory brochure (PDF) or the "getting started" portal on the English Wikipedia.

We also have regular training events across the country for learning how to edit. These - along with all of our other events - are listed on the upcoming events list.
