Documentation microtasks for newcomers
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs would benefit from a Documentation section that we could use at least in the context of Google Code-in, and also in the search of a tech-writer.

Hint: several small improvements are preferred to one big change.

Hi! You decide the deadline. This is not a game of speed.
