From experience (I've been wiki-editing since 2003) commenting on articles, writing blogs, engaging in forums... Their the easiest ways, as they do not involve actual editing of pages yet contribute to the community of the wikia.

grammar fixes are urgent. So long as you don't change the meaning of sentance or certanin word (easiest example since it came up recently would be "hermaphrodite" on Flower's page, as then we would be misquoting her creators), these are the next best thing.

If you feel bold... You can make pages on subject whats already up.

Basically, pick a page and start... Eventually you learn how other editors react to certain edits and can adjust.

Some advice on what not to do is this;


 * Don't take it too much to heart if someone undoes a edit. ITs not always on purpose (your fellow editors are only human and do make mistakes) or you can take up the issue with them.  You've wouldn't believe how many new editors get put off simpl because they had one fight with someone...
 * Don't try to big the big "I am". A lot of editors have their routines and things they like to do so whenever someone knew comes in and starts making huge edits withut discussion or changes to how the others work, its often seen as your trying to take over or forcing others to do something they don't want to do, among other things.  So its often taken as a threatening behaviour.
 * Don't push yourself too soon.
 * Don't be afraid to make mistakes or to correct mistakes of other, the other editors should be helping you by checking your edits, as you check theirs. If they do, take it up with someone higher up if it gets bad.
