发现错误或遗漏？请帮忙纠正！请参阅what to do when noticing an error on the wiki 这个关于如何解决问题，或者至少如何标记问题的页面。
维基帮助页面提供了使用 Gentoo wiki的有用信息（与维基中包含的Gentoo本身的文档相反）。
这些页面既是readers的源码，用于维基的使用和相关信息的查找，也是contributors的源码。它们解释了如何正确添加内容。
查看contributor's guide： 为维基提供快速更改是很简单的，甚至对于新来者也是！
Wiki project page页面包含了维基如何运作的信息，上面有问答（FAQ）和更多关于本维基项目的信息。参看Gentoo wiki FAQ与about Gentoo wiki页面。
Gentoo开发人员可以查看Developer Central页面以获取有关他们所涉及的程序的帮助。
对于那些在检查了所有文档后向社区寻求特定问题帮助的人，请参阅support页面。
参与所有维基活动时，请遵循CodeofConduct。维基项目旨在维护一个尊重、建设性的环境——请礼貌并体谅其他用户。所有wiki编辑都应该本着将项目推向共同目标的精神进行。文件和论述应客观和以事实为基础。该项目是基于共识的。
阅读和浏览wiki
阅读维基应该自然是不言而喻的，它的工作原理很像大多数标准网站。此处提供了更详细的信息，以供更高级的使用：
- Navigation - 阅读页面时解释网站布局和功能
- Searching - 关于搜索功能
- Tracking changes - 查看文章的编写历史记录
- Watchlist - 获得感兴趣文章的更改通知
Editing
Wiki的编辑语言只能是英语，所以接下来的关于编辑的内容都只有英语版本。
For small corrections, such as typos, fixing or adding links, etc., please just create an account and make the change! See the article on what to do when noticing an error on the wiki.
In case of any issues with creating an account, or anything else regarding wiki usage or editing, please get in touch on #gentoo-wiki (webchat) on IRC. Please be patient and stay connected to the channel, replies can take a long time. If a solution cannot be found in IRC, try sending an email to [email protected]. For anything not directly related to wiki usage and editing, see support or contact.
Once logged in, it only takes a few clicks to make a change: click the "Edit source" (or "Edit") button at the top of a page, make changes (edits) to the text, add a brief summary of the edit, and click the "Save page" button! Don't worry too much about making mistakes: everything is backed up, and changes will be checked by an editor soon after they are made.
The contributor's guide is invaluable when getting into editing wiki pages, for anything more than a simple correction. It explains wiki fundamentals, goals and general workings - all the basic information to start editing articles. At the very least, check out the getting started section.
Please read the official Gentoo wiki guidelines before making anything more than the most basic changes. The guidelines explain how to properly write and lay out pages, to create well formed articles, while maintaining a coherent style across the wiki.
Please come join us on IRC on the #gentoo-wiki (webchat) channel, if looking to edit the wiki! (The web chat should work well for anyone not wanting to set up an IRC client.) This is where the contributors come to chat about the wiki and what is currently happening. Questions, comments, or suggestions welcome! The channel can be quiet sometimes, but everyone will try to answer any questions the best they can!
There are plenty of areas that need work, check out the todo category, and common wiki tasks to help out. Editing the wiki is a really great way to contribute to Gentoo! It really does help other users, and it is easy to get started with. Remember that there are also other ways to contribute to Gentoo.
Others in the community can be thanked for their contributions via the "Thank" link, found on an article's Revision history page (click More→History, then find the "Thank" link next to the specific revision).
