This is what the MediaWiki support page has to say regarding editing a wiki, we couldn't agree more:

"The number one rule of wiki editing is to be bold. Dive in and make changes. Other people can correct mistakes later, so have confidence, and give it a try! There are all kinds of editing conventions, rules, and philosophies for the editing of wiki pages, but the "be bold" rule overrides these!"

"An edit can contribute whole new paragraphs or pages of information, or it can be as simple as fixing a typo or a spelling mistake. In general, try to add or edit text so that it is clear and concise. Most importantly, make sure you are always aiming to do something which improves the contents of the wiki.

Getting Started

Buying Guide The Model Wizard will help you select your model to buy. Where can I get one and for how much? The Raspberry Pi can no longer only be purchased via their official distribution partners - detailed information can be found on the RPi Buying Guide page. Additional accessories, peripherals and merchandise will also be available through the Raspberry Pi Shop, aswell as The Pi Hut's Raspberry Pi Store
