I’ve added a short Getting started section in the wiki, after realizing we don’t have any one place to direct new users so that they can orient themselves.
I added a list of the essentials tips, based on what I think are the most common first-edit mistakes. Feel free to suggest more items there, but bear in mind the goal is conciseness and not completeness.
Great idea, also added few points, if you don’t mind.
Here’s a Hebrew draft. I think translating the whole Wiki and keeping that up to date is way too much work and is unnecessary, but I can certainly keep the “getting started” translation up to date.
This might be very useful when on-boading new users who are less familiar with English. At least the essential guidelines would be available to them. We could send both the guide as a comment on their first changeset (Preferred over private messages so that they do not get duplicates from multiple users).
