User blog comment:FishTank/Becoming a good wiki citizen/@comment-168424-20180531232240

Another good thing for new users to do, especially if they are worried about the reaction of admins to edits or new pages is to talk to experienced non-admins on the wiki. Non-admin users with lots of edits can often be the best guide for the ins and outs of a wiki and how to deal with admins when it comes to that. I also find users who are known to be good admins on other wikis, but like to contribute alot to a wiki they don't admin are good resources also.

One problem new users have is they don't know how to find out who does what and wikis are very inconsistent about having easily discoverable info like this. The first thing a new user should be pointed to outside the help pages is Special:WikiActivity (or even better, Special:RecentChanges) on a respective wiki to see what's going on and look at what other users are doing. Learning how to navigate Special:ListUsers can also be helpful for finding out who to contact with questions directly, if the Forum or Discussions doesn't seem to be getting much response.

Anyway... I probably should write a blog, but meh.
