Just try. Mistakes can be undone. If you can't fix it yourself, ask User:Paula the following guidelines will help you edit efficiently and so not a lot has to be fixed later: style guide template guide translation guide edit this section Translations Everything about translating can be found in the translation guide. This is also good to know if you're just editing translatable pages without translating them. edit this section Todos You can find many tasks you can help with in Portal:Todos and the project pages linked from there.
