===Article suggestions===

The [[article suggestions]] page is an excellent jumping-off point, for either getting your ideas for suitable articles down, or for finding something to write about. You'll find a list of article ideas, complete with a basic description and links to relevant sources. Over time we expect this to replace the video directory (explained below) as the go-to place for article inspiration.

==Contribute to a project==

We run [[projects:Hub| projects]] that organize the completion of a specific type of edit over the whole wiki, or which otherwise try to improve some aspect of the site. These are often filled with editing opportunities that are well-signposted and simple, so can be a great place to get started out!

==Improve existing articles==

You can help out without looking for new things to add to the wiki. We have a [[:Category:Articles_in_need_of_additional_work| list of articles that need work]] you can go through and try to improve. Some might need formatting fixes based on our [[Consumer_Rights_Wiki:Style guide|Style guide]], others might need some ~~rephrashing~~ to ensure a [[Consumer_Rights_Wiki:Wiki_content_policies#Neutral_Point_Of_View | neutral point of view]] as per our wiki content policy.

Check [[Special:DoubleRedirects]] (commonly populated when people move pages) and [[Special:BrokenRedirects]] for links that are currently not functioning as they should. Add the <code><nowiki>{{DeletionRequest}}</nowiki></code> notice to the pages you think should go to help keep things working as they should. Do the same for any categories here [[Special:UnusedCategories]] that seem like they dont belong.

Take a look at [[:Category:Pages_with_broken_file_links]] and [[Special:WantedFiles]] to see if we misspelled a filename on [https://wiki~~.rossmanngroup.com~~/wiki/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=6 our file list] or if a new one needs to be uploaded.
