I am new to gerrit for mediawiki. It really took me a long time to make it work, while there is nothing wrong in the instructions. Sometimes I solved the problems I encountered by simple methods like restart, update. I feel less instruction manuals with more detailed information would help. Also, it would be nice if there is a trouble shooting page, everyone can add the problem under the corresponding category in the page.

Despite the snark, this is also my experience. I've yet to get really used to git, and regularly run into problems whenever I do something more complicated than clone-commit-review; and right now my default solution to "Oy! I've hosed my repo again" is to clone anew and cherry-pick stuff back in.
And I'm no newbie, I've been using source control since SCCS and RCS. :-)
