Below is a list of articles in need of some attention, then categorised by intended audience. There will be overlap so treat these lists as a rough guide only.

Remember, if you want to help with translation of our documentation you should go to the page specifically for Documentation Translators and sign up. We have over 60 active contributors helping translate our documentation! Join the group and have some fun but don't delay, there are a few tasks you need to complete. You will get translator approval, a friendly welcome message, and added to the group chat for translators. There are lots of great people willing to help get you started.

Please Remember

When you begin editing a page please add {{inuse}} to the top of the page before you start working on it so that others do not create conflicting changes to the same page. Then don't forget to remove it again when you have finished! Thank you.
