I see some invalid edits. Marathi wikipedia is not the right place for certain things. May we make some Template:Invalid to mark such edits?
Call to edit anything here created an idea bin. So far this process hundreds of edits. Step back and observe. What kind of edits are coming in? Who is editing? every user mistake, is a (user) feedback system, and all user feedback is very valuable. Remember to be nice to newcomers. Show some empathy for newcomers. Be aware that newcomers will outnumber the number of active editors in perpetuity. Fresh editors know nothing. They aren't aware other projects exist, they aren't aware meta exists, they aren't aware the foundation exists, or chapters. They aren't aware how things are organized in neat processes and procedures on meta and other sister projects.
Let me recall a story of a janitor working in the basement of the Eiffel Tower, sweeping the floors. One day he complained to his chef. He told him hundreds of tourists every day ask him again where the bathrooms are. How is he supposed to do his job of sweeping the floors if he has to answer the same question over and over again? His boss replied calmly. You might have answered that question thousands of times, but for the tourist arriving here is is the first time she raises the question.
You might want to be nice to a newcomer and post a message or question on the user talk page of the proposer asking them if they have seen right way to the thing.
The ultimate question is how to increase newcomer awareness of existing projects, existing organizations, existing processes and existing procedures, side by side with increasing newcomer awareness of existing off-wiki communication channels like mailing lists
