frankly I wouldn’t know how to start anymore if I wanted to create a new entry

Read about it in advance (from decent sources, as much as possible), find a few similar articles to see how they're usually formatted, map out how you want your article to look (while generally respecting the format of the other articles), and do it. The formatting is a bit trickier in the raw editor, but I think the visual editor is the default now. They also have help articles of all sorts, and a message board for new users looking for help.

And if you make some technical mistake, some bot or no-lifer who edits 50 articles a day will smooth it all out anyway.

And if you don't make a mistake, it'll probably get fast tracked for deletion anyway
