#Login (register with tikiwiki.org if you haven't already done so) and . . . 
##Find the most appropriate existing page, perhaps a ((troubleshooting)) page ar about one of the ((features)). 
##[http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=2|Ask, in the forums], any questions you have about that page. (Don't skip this step, it is critical to making the doc better)
##Tag the page with ~np~ ((help)) ~/np~ or one of the other tags so it appears on the ((documentation status)) page. e.g. edit in ~np~ ((Help))~/np~ ''Can anyone tell me how the whatamajig feature works?''
