It should relate to KDE software, directly or indirectly. We define it like this:

For New Users - helping to get started

For Regular Users - learning about changes

For Advanced Users - but use sub-pages for this.

For Developers - Techbase is the place for that

Update an image, replacing an outdated image with a newer one.
Create a screenshot
Modify existing content, fix a spelling, clarify a description, add more details.
Create a new page, showcase an application, introduce a new concept.
Write a manual. You need to know an application quite well, and probably to be in contact with the author. We can help you.
Preparing a page for translation needs more patience than skill. If you can spare short periods of time, frequently, this is a very helpful task.
Translate a page. You need to be fluent in a language, but not a professional translator to translate a wiki page. Translating manuals is the skill of a special team.
Translate with Off-Line Tools. Get the essentials for Gettext and Import.

Some Preferences that will help -

If you don't have [edit] links against the sections, open your User Preferences (Personal Tools in the sidebar) then look for Editing and set Enable section editing via [edit] links
While you are in those settings, enable Show preview on first edit - while you are editing you can glance at the original display for reference
The default display is to show the preview first, with the edit box below. If you prefer the edit box at the top you can change that setting in the same place
