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. :-)
