Write some documentation
------------------------

Django's documentation is great but it can always be improved. Did you find a
typo? Do you think that something should be clarified? Go ahead and suggest a
documentation patch! See also the guide on
:doc:`/internals/contributing/writing-documentation`.
Django's documentation is extensive, but it can always be improved. Changes
that materially improve its correctness, clarity, or completeness are welcome.
A minor rewording or pure typo fix is generally not suitable as a standalone
contribution, but may be included as part of a more substantial patch. See
also the guide on :doc:`/internals/contributing/writing-documentation`.

Typo fixes and trivial documentation changes
============================================

If you are fixing a really trivial issue, for example changing a word in the
documentation, the preferred way to provide the patch is using GitHub pull
requests without a Trac ticket.
If you've contributed to Django before and just want to fix a really trivial
issue, for example changing a word in the documentation, the preferred way to
provide the patch is using GitHub pull requests without a Trac ticket. If you
haven't contributed before, a minor rewording or pure typo fix is generally not
suitable as a first contribution, but may be included as part of a more
substantial patch for an accepted ticket.

See :doc:`/internals/contributing/writing-code/working-with-git` for more
details on how to use pull requests.
