As said: You are welcome to enhance the Wiki. As the Wiki is a Mercurial repository itself every submission can be reverted. So you do not have to fear to break anything.
Additionally you are always welcome to review the text in QMS. If you start QMS with an English language profile, you see the original text. By that you can find the text in the source code and improve it. Once you are done with a string it would be nice to review the German translation, too. Am Montag, 25.
