Hello Shibcu. I noticed you left a message to Maopyon, but she's been busy with other stuff and hasn't gotten around to replying. I thought I'd give it a crack if you're still interested. This is some very general advice since I don't really know anything about what you're interested in and what your comfort level is with any sort of wiki editing. Probably some more general advice like this should be added to the Hello! Project Wiki:Helping out page, so I'm considering this a bit of practice.

One of the first things I did was just checking out the pages related to my favorite groups and fixing any sorts of mistakes I noticed. Or trying to make things more consistent--if you see things that are normally on a page in ABCD order, but one page has them in ABDC, that's something that can easily be fixed.

We have a few thousand pages around here, but there's still so much stuff that isn't present at all. If you see a red link, that means it's linking to a page that doesn't exist, and is ripe to be filled in. Though it might be the case that it's not filled in yet because there's not a lot of information to be found, so that might depend on your Google skills as much as anything. If you're setting up a new page, you can try to use an existing page of the same type as a guide, but don't overly worry about getting things perfect right away--there will always be the more experienced editors around to correct mistakes or add some polish.

Something specific that could be used for some editing practice is old concert pages. If you compare, say, the pages in Category:2001 Concerts with the pages in Category:2015 Concerts, there are a lot of differences. With time the way we've set up the pages, listed things, font sizes, etc. have become pretty standard and the recent pages will reflect that, but changing the old ones always seems low priority since they already do at least in general have the right information.

If you have any further questions feel free to reply, or maybe ask in a forum where other people could add their two cents. I hope I haven't drowned you in too much text.
