|lead =<div class="center">
Wikipedia is a [[free content|free]] [[encyclopedia]], written [[wiki|collaboratively]] by the [[Wikipedia:Who writes Wikipedia?|people who use it]]. Since 2001, it has grown rapidly to become the world's largest reference website, with {{#expr:{{formatnum:{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}|R}}/10^6 round1}}{{nbsp}}million articles in English attracting <span class="plainlinks">[https://stats.wikimedia.org/#/en.wikipedia.org billions]</span> of views every month. For a more detailed account of the project, see '''[[WP:About|About Wikipedia]]'''.</div>

===How you can contribute===
[[File:10 sharing book cover background.jpg|290px|alt=A 3D-printed Wikipedia globe being held in someone's hands|right]]

'''[[WP:Be bold|Don't be afraid to edit]]''' – <em>Anyone</em> can edit [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|almost]] every page; just find something that can be improved and make it better! You can add [[Help:Introduction to editing with VisualEditor/1|content]] (using [[Help:Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor/1|references]] to support your claims), upload free-to-use [[Help:Introduction to images with VisualEditor/1|images]], correct spelling and grammar mistakes, improve prose to make it more readable, or help with [[WP:Task Center|any number of other tasks]]. It's normal for new contributors to feel a little overwhelmed by all of our [[Help:Introduction to policies and guidelines/1|policies]], but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first; it's fine to use common sense as you edit, and if you accidentally make a mistake, another editor can always fix or improve it later. So go ahead, edit an article and help make Wikipedia the world's best information source!

'''[[WP:Talk page guidelines|Suggest improvements]]''' – Each article also has a [[Help:Introduction_to_talk_pages/1|"Talk" page]], where you can suggest improvements and corrections to the article.

'''[[wmf:Donate|Donate]]''' – Wikipedia is free to use and edited entirely by [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is a volunteer service|volunteers]], but it relies on donations to keep the servers running. Please consider donating to help fund the project's maintenance and development costs.

===Want to try editing?===
You can test out how editing feels by editing one of the "sandbox" test pages below:

{{If IP
|{{Clickable button 2|Help:Introduction/IP sandbox|Edit page visually}} or {{Clickable button 2|Help:Introduction/IP sandbox|Edit using wiki markup}}
|{{Clickable button 2|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:MyPage/Sample_page&veaction=edit&preload=Help:Introduction/main_sandbox&summary=Creating%20sandbox|Edit page visually}} or {{Clickable button 2|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:MyPage/Sample_page&action=edit&preload=Help:Introduction/main_sandbox/preload&summary=Creating%20sandbox&editintro=Help:Introduction/main_sandbox/preload/editintro|Edit using wiki markup}}
}}

Just type some text and click {{Button|{{int:Publishpage}}|bgcolor2=#BBE}} when you're happy with the way it looks. Don't worry about breaking anything; these pages are open areas for experimentation.

===There's plenty more behind the scenes===
Wikipedia has many community pages in addition to its articles.
