Where’s a good source to learn HTML? I would actually invest a lot more time into Wikipedia, if I knew I could accomplish more.

You don't have to learn HTML to contribute to Wikipedia, but if you do, it helps a lot learning the ropes. I learned basic HTML in 1998 (lol, I'm old), so I'm not even sure about what could be a good source for newcomers. Wikipedia has great tutorials for you to get started, and it might seem like a lot at first but once you get the hang of it, it will be pretty simple and straightforward.

You don't need HTML in Wiki, just learn from their tutorials. Or I'd say that you just use your sandbox for experimenting, try copyediting, before making an article from scratch.

Especially because it is automatically converted. You only need to understand and remember some basic commands, for example to use flags

Yeah I did a little bit of that a few years when I was bored in high school. I did a few pages, but the only I remember now is the 2013 Summer Universiade results for the K1 or C1 200m.

I am currently studying Java c++ and c# but some friends of mine are more into HTML and so they bought some online courses so what i am trying to say is that i guess there are planty of those on HTML and basicly on anything and some may be a good source for learning
