== I need help '''finding''' an article==
There is a search box in the upper-right corner of every page with the word "Search" in it. Just type what you are looking for in there and then press {{key press|enter}}. See '''[[Help:Searching]]''' for more details.
Most pages are grouped together with similar articles via categories. You can find these links at the bottom of the page. For instance, this page is within the [[:Category:Help|help]] category. Clicking on this link will take you to a list of all the other help pages.

== I want to '''edit''' an article==
Contributing is easy: see '''[[Help:Introduction to editing|how to edit a page]]'''. You can use the [[Help:Editing|editing cheatsheet]] to learn how to use basic wiki markup, as well as how to create and move pages. You can practice editing by experimenting on your [[Special:MyPage|user page]].
Be bold in improving articles! We'd rather that you create an article with basic content (even without wiki formatting) than not having an article at all.

== I want to '''report a problem''' with an article ==
If you spot a problem with an article, '''''you''''' can fix it directly, by clicking on the "Edit" link at the beginning of that page.
If you don't feel ready to fix the article yourself, please post a message on the article's '''[[GoArch:Policies#Talk pages|talk page]]'''. This will bring the matter to the attention of others who work on that article. There is a "Talk" link at the top of ''every'' article page.

== I want to '''create a new article''' or '''upload media''' ==
Perform a search first to make sire that an article doesn't already exist that covers your topic already. If it already exists, you can improve it instead of creating a new article. If one doesn't exist or is distinctly different, then feel free to [[Help:Creating a page|create it]].
Once you have created an article, check the [[GoArch:Style guide|style guide]] for guidance on how to format it.
For contributing images, see the [[Help:Uploading images|image uploading instructions]].
