You can also run a search for topics you might be interested in and see if you can add information or make adjustments. No matter how minor or major it is, if it’s helpful, any change is encouraged. As long as you don’t vandalize articles, you may contribute indefinitely to any topic of your knowledge.

Look at our list of articles in need of step-by-step pictures. Consider taking instructional photos and adding them to articles! If you like to draw, many of our pages need diagrams too. You can scan or photograph your drawings and upload them the same way you would a photo.

Try your hand at accuracy patrol. Browse articles tagged as needing citations. Usually you’ll see at least one sentence with “citation needed” at the end (e. g. [citation needed]). Verify whether that statement is accurate and correct or remove it. Don’t forget to remove the “citation needed” template by erasing {{fact}}. Expand a stub. Some articles are incomplete and need significant help to reach their full potential. Feel free to get involved with a major revision. Browse articles tagged as being unclear and see if you can clarify or elaborate.
Once you have some experience in reviewing new pages, you can become a New Article Booster if you meet the requirements. Boosters improve new articles so that they are ready for the public, and they also provide encouragement and friendly advice to new editors. All you’ll need to do is take a three-part test and have a valid email address.
wikiHow is contributed by people from various countries, professions, age groups, colleges, and much more. You will find many who share something in common with you and those who are absolutely unique. Many of the articles are contributed by members who have experience with the information. For example, many articles about autism are written and maintained by autistic people who have transformed the category and the articles tremendously.
