In the footer of every Wikimedia wiki, there should be a "Developers" link that leads to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_contribute.
You can see this link at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page#footer or https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page#footer or https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Home#footer. Suggestions for more places to put this link or better text to make it more obvious are always welcome, of course. :-)
