Editing the Wiki is easy - do not be afraid to contribute.

Read the Wiki Guidelines

These explain the general "behavior" guidelines for this Wiki.

Preview your edits

Instead of saving every minor edit of a page, use the "Show preview" button.
This keeps the Recent changes list and page history from being cluttered with repeated entries.

Mark minor edits as such

For edits that don't change the meaning of an article (e.g. when fixing typos), use the "This is a minor edit" option.
This allows users to filter out those minor edits when browsing the Recent changes list.

Include a summary

So that other users (and admins) know whether an edit is relevant for them for them, add a brief summary to any of your edits (even if they are minor).

Discussion pages

End posts on discussion pages with your signature, and follow these guidelines.

Experimentation

For experimentation either use the public Sandbox, or the one in your personal space.
