Hey! I'm a new contributor. I want to work on this task. I have some merged patches on Gerrit. Can you help me get started for this task :)

Hi @Nikitrain. Yes. Do you have a specific question?

Yes, I want to know if the Aim of the task is to include the information from https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:PrefixIndex/Release_notes to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes. then how is this supposed to be done via Gerrit patch?
Do I have to clone the mediawiki-core repository

Hi, it's not the aim. Data should be copied into HISTORY. See the Gerrit link above for an example. Also see the Gerrit link for which repository this is about.

got it! thanks! :)
