==Edit existing content==
There are lots of things to work on, and it's easy to get started in 3 easy steps with the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/MDN/Getting_started "Getting Started"] guide.  
*See an error or typo? You can fix it! Since MDN is a wiki, anyone can edit and add content.
*To get started, login (or create an account) and then just click <em>Edit</em> on the article you want to edit & start editing the content. Make sure to save your changes.
* For more information, see the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Project:Getting_started#The_basics Getting Started] Guide
 
==Tag content for review or edits==
Not ready to edit the content yet? You also can use tags to flag problems.
*Here are some of the tags we use, and their meanings:
**NeedsMarkupWork: the formatting is not standard or not consistent with other pages.
**NeedsExample: needs one or more illustrative code examples of the item documented.
**NeedsContent: the item is incomplete and needs to be filled out.
**NeedsJSVersion: needs information about the version of JavaScript and EcmaScript this item first appears in.
**NeedsBrowserCompatibility: needs a browser compatibility table or needs the table filled out.
**MakeBrowserAgnostic: the article is written with a focus on Gecko, when it is actually about a standard function or feature, which should be rewritten to be generic.
 
To add tags to content:
*Login to MDN.
*Click Edit to enter editing mode.
*Scroll to the bottom of the page.
*In the Tags box, type the tag that you want to add. Tags can contain spaces.
*Press Enter to accept the tag.
*Click Save Changes when you are done.
 
==Write new content==
*You are encouraged to write new articles on whatever topics we currently cover in the wiki. New content can be as simple as a one page tip or as complex as a book-length programming guide or reference. The amount of new content you contribute is entirely up to you.
*Please review the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Project:Writer%27s_guide Writer's Guide] for more information on how to write on MDN.
*The [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Project:Documentation_Wishlist Documentation Wish List] provides some ideas of content we would love to see added to the MDN.
*Bugzilla bugs that require documentation are tagged with the dev-doc-needed keyword. Please review the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Project:Tracking_documentation_issues Tracking documentation issues] page to see how to use Bugzilla to find articles to write.
 
==Translate Content==
*Want to help us translate the MDN into other languages? Great! Follow these simple steps to get started.
**Sign or or create an account on MDN (by clicking on sign in near the top-right of the screen).
**Go to the article that you want to translate.
