# What you can help with

• Content corrections: typos, inaccurate descriptions, missing version annotations
• Structure: improving page structure and section consistency
• Layout and style: Hugo templates, CSS, navigation
• Coverage: pages that are missing or incomplete

# How to contribute

The quickest way is directly from any reference page:

• Edit page button (next to the page title) opens the source Markdown file in the GitHub editor. Edit and open a pull request from there.
• Footer: Edit page same as above, always visible at the bottom of every page.
• Footer: Open issue opens a pre-filled issue with the page URL, a Problem field, and a Suggestion field. Use this when you spot something wrong but are not ready to edit directly.

For changes that go beyond a single page:

1. Open an issue on GitHub to describe the problem or suggestion.
2. Fork the repository and make your changes on a branch.
3. Submit a pull request with a short description of what changed and why.

For larger changes, open an issue first to discuss the approach.
