The Contribute entry point is a persistent entry point that lists the different ways for editors to contribute. This is an extensible list where different products can add new ways to contribute. In this way users can discover the ways in which they can contribute, and have a place always available to return to them when needed. The entry point is available on a small set of wikis:

• Albanian (mobile and desktop)
• Malayalam (mobile and desktop)
• Mongolian (mobile and desktop)
• Tagalog (mobile and desktop)
• and in the the beta cluster to try: check it for English (mobile or desktop) and Bangla ( mobile or desktop).

This Epic ticket will compile the tasks related to complete this entry point, extend it with more options, make it available gradually on more wikis, document it and support scaling the approach as the options to contribute grow.
