There are two main styles of help on Wikipedia: self-help and assistance...

Self-help involves reading the help and instruction pages around Wikipedia. Some very informative self-help pages are:


 * Contributing to Wikipedia - Help:Introduction (module tutorial)
 * FAQ - (Index)
 * Help:Contents - (Index)
 * Tips - (Index)

When you get stuck, confused, or befuddled, assistance is available on Wikipedia's "desk" and "request" pages - use these when self-help hasn't provided you with an answer: Almost anyone on these lists will help you as well:
 * Teahouse – A place to get help with editing for new editors.
 * The Help Desk – For general questions regarding the usage of Wikipedia.
 * If you place  "then your question" on your talk page, a volunteer will assist you there!
 * Join the #wikipedia-en-help IRC channel for real-time chat. New to IRC? Click here to be connected instantly!
