The documentation team needs help, especially from core, themes, and support contributors. As part of an overhaul, the Documentation Team has triaged and labeled nearly 800 issues in the GitHub documentation issue tracker, closing 200 so far. Many of the open issues belong to your teams. Find your area below, then:
- Close stale issues that are no longer relevant, or comment “Close this” if you don’t have access
- Comment with corrections or updated information when you spot something wrong
- If possible, draft doc changes and comment with markdown or a link to your draft
If you have permissions to close issues or update docs directly, even better. If not, your comments are exactly what’s needed to help the docs team take action.
Here are the open issues by area:
- Themes: 146 open issues.
- DevHub: 101 open issues (these may overlap with themes and advanced admin)
- Advanced Admin: 33 open issues.
- Migration from Codex: 12 open issues.
- Plugins: 10 open issues.
- HelpHub: 358 open issues.
- Handbook: 18 open issues (some overlap with internal tasks)
- Internal tasks: 30 open issues.

7.0 documentation and other projects
Besides the overhaul, the docs team is focusing on WordPress 7.0 documentation and a revision of the handbook to include the recommendations given by @rossanatrujillo, a student from the WPCredits program.
