[OSM-talk] Is there some existing detailed tutorial directed at complete newbies? Describing how to add various features?

When I started mapping, the wiki was prominently linked from the map page and the wiki start page led to the various sections for beginners as well as more detailed documentation of map features, for developers etc.

Some years later the wiki link got hidden behind the help link, where it is the very last point after links to the forum, mailings lists (!), irc, help forum, switch2osm, „for organisations“, etc.
It might look for a newbie as if the wiki is the least interesting source for someone looking for help...
