+## Contribution types and what we're looking for
 
-## Getting started
+Content we accept:
+* Technical and grammatical corrections
+* Typo fixes
+* Expanded explanations of existing products or features, when the expansion has a compelling reason
+* New content filling important gaps in our documentation. For example, [this pull request](https://github.com/github/docs/pull/38048) added a useful section on security hardening for GitHub Actions.
 
-To navigate our codebase with confidence, see [the introduction to working in the docs repository](/contributing/README.md) :confetti_ball:. For more information on how we write our markdown files, see "[Using Markdown and Liquid in GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/contributing/writing-for-github-docs/using-markdown-and-liquid-in-github-docs)."
+Content we do not currently accept:
+* Edits purely for tone, readability, or efficiency
+* Topics that are too niche or a matter of personal preference
+* Changes to the underlying site and workflows
 
-Check to see what [types of contributions](/contributing/types-of-contributions.md) we accept before making changes. Some of them don't even require writing a single line of code :sparkles:.
+These are general guidelines, but if you’re not sure what category your proposed change would fall under, feel free to open an issue to discuss it with us!
 
-### Issues
+## Getting started
 
-#### Create a new issue
+📚 **Primary resource:** [docs.github.com/en/contributing](https://docs.github.com/en/contributing) contains our complete contribution workflow and policies.
 
-If you spot a problem with the docs, [search if an issue already exists](https://docs.github.com/en/github/searching-for-information-on-github/searching-on-github/searching-issues-and-pull-requests#search-by-the-title-body-or-comments). If a related issue doesn't exist, you can open a new issue using a relevant [issue form](https://github.com/github/docs/issues/new/choose).
+For repository-specific information:
+- See [the introduction to working in the docs repository](/contributing/README.md) :confetti_ball:
+- Check our [types of contributions](/contributing/types-of-contributions.md) we accept
+- Review our markdown style guidelines in the `/contributing` directory
 
-#### Solve an issue
+### Writing style guidelines
 
-Scan through our [existing issues](https://github.com/github/docs/issues) to find one that interests you. You can narrow down the search using `labels` as filters. See "[Label reference](https://docs.github.com/en/contributing/collaborating-on-github-docs/label-reference)" for more information. As a general rule, we don’t assign issues to anyone. If you find an issue to work on, you are welcome to open a PR with a fix.
+When contributing content, please follow these key principles from our [style guide](https://docs.github.com/en/contributing/style-guide-and-content-model/style-guide):
 
-### Make Changes
+- **Clarity and simplicity**: The goal of our writing style is clarity and simplicity.
+- **Meaning over grammar**: Grammatical correctness is important, but not as important as clarity and meaning.
+- **Second person**: The docs use second-person ("you") to communicate directly with readers.
+- **Inclusive language**: Use inclusive language by not assuming gender or ability level, and by avoiding slang and idioms.
+- **Accessible technical language**: Jargon is sometimes necessary, but don't assume every reader has your technical expertise.
+- **Active voice**: Use active voice wherever possible. Active voice means avoiding "be" verbs like "is" or "are" when you can, but also choosing more dynamic verbs to get your point across. "Press (a key)" is less dynamic than "tap (a key)," for example.
+- **Clear terminology**: Avoid technical abbreviations like "repo" and "PR," and Latin abbreviations like "i.e." and "e.g."
 
-#### Make changes in the UI
+For complete style guidance, see our [style guide](https://docs.github.com/en/contributing/style-guide-and-content-model/style-guide).
 
-Click **Make a contribution** at the bottom of any docs page to make small changes such as a typo, sentence fix, or a broken link. This takes you to the `.md` file where you can make your changes and [create a pull request](#pull-request) for a review.
