NOTE: If you have forked the repository before but your fork is already outdated, it can happen that you have not all current branches. If this is the case, GitLab will show you a blue "Create branch" button on the top left of the subsequent page after you clicked "Open in the Web IDE": if that happens, just click the "Create branch" button so that GitLab can do the rest for you. Then, proceed here as usual.
CAUTION: If you have forked the repository before, and if you have already the related branch, GitLab will not check if your fork's branch is up to date: it will forward you to the respective file in the related branch of your fork even if this file is no longer up to date. GitLab knows about the [problem](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/330243) and it is planned to solve this problem with the release of the [15.10 release](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/milestones/85#tab-issues) by the end of *March 2023*. Until then, you have to keep careful if you see neither a "Fork" button nor a "Create branch" button: in this case, check if your file is up to date before start working! If it is not, wait for the 15.10 release, or if you know how to: update your fork, or remove it & re-fork the repository. Alternatively, get in touch with the Docs team [here](https://chat.fedoraproject.org/#/room/#docs:fedoraproject.org) or [here](https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/)!
Then make the necessary changes to the page.
