Overview: Policies and guidelines aren't a how-to guide to Wikipedia editing. Read through the important parts initially, then use them as a reference. There are no set of instructions for how to add to an article, i.e. the actual work of writing. If you think it will improve the article, just be bold.

Relatedly, it may be surprising that there is no core policy on what information should or should not be included in article, i.e. nothing analogous to WP:N as to whether an article should exist. Generally use common sense and best judgement as to what is relevant to the topic and what is suitable for an encyclopedia entry. Consider that mergers and splits are an option, and do keep in mind WP:DUE, which is policy.
