When you edit a page, even minor edits, you should include a descriptive edit summary. If you need help, Drop by the Help Desk or the New Contributors' Help page. Another option is to join the adopt-a-user project. You can also add {{helpme}} to your talk page, followed by your question,and someone will come answer the question, or point you to the proper page. Happy Editing!
