The MDN project 编辑

MDN Web Docs is free-to-use resource on which we document the open web platform. Our mission is to provide developers with the information they need to easily build projects on the web platform.

This is the landing page for the MDN project itself. Here you'll find guides on how the site works, how we do our documentation, what guidelines and conventions we adhere to, and how you can help.

And we invite anyone to help! If you are interested in improving this essential web developer resource, you are welcome to add and edit content. You don't need to be a programmer or know a lot about technology; there are many different tasks that need to be performed, from the simple (proof-reading and correcting typos) to the complex (writing API documentation).

To find out how to help, visit our Contributing to MDN page. If you want to talk to us and ask questions, join the discussion on the MDN Web Docs chat room on Matrix.

About MDN Web Docs

MDN Web Docs (previously known as MDN — the Mozilla Developer Network) is an evolving learning platform for Web technologies and the software that powers the Web, including CSS, HTML, and JavaScript. We also have a detailed set of beginner's learning material — see Learn Web development.

Contributing to MDN

MDN Web Docs needs your help! We have a large number of typos to fix, examples to write, bugs to fix, people to talk to, and more, and the number is growing as more people start using the site. This page outlines what you can do to help.

Document structures

Throughout MDN, there are various document structures that are used repeatedly, to provide consistent presentation of information in MDN articles. Here are articles describing these structures, so that, as an MDN author, you can recognize, apply, and modify them as appropriate for documents you write, edit, or translate.

Guidelines

These guides provide details on how MDN documentation should be written and formatted, as well as how our code samples and other content should be presented.

Guidelines to the MDN editor UI

The WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor for the MDN Web Docs wiki makes it easy to contribute new content. This guide shows you how to use the editor and improve your productivity. Please read and comply with the Mozilla Terms before editing or creating new pages.
