I tried to make a correction to the mootools-more documentation by
creating a github account, forking the documentation, editing it and
committing it. Having done all that, when I log out and log in again,
I can't find my edits. What am I doing wrong?

try looking in your network graph, which should show all your commits. click on the little green down-ward fork in the upper right corner of your project, or go here:

http://github.com/< your user name here>/mootools-more/network

Now that I've made a change, and didn't lose it this time, I also made
a pull-request. Can you confirm that the request was successful?

I want to help correct the documentation when I see errors, but Github
seems far from intuitive to me and I have no clue if I'm doing it
right. The only documentation I've seen on Github talks about the
command line, yet everything I see is done through a graphical user
interface.

I did get the pull request. The git command line is very, very powerful, but a little daunting. Learning it though is a valuable skill if you're a developer. Once you get the hang of it, it's fairly easy to get a lot of work done.

I'm only decent at git as a single user. I rarely do forks of other
people's works unless its critical to my work to get my fix/change
integrated.
For things like docs, I see no reason why a wiki isn't the best
choice. You make the participation barrier as low as possible and
still get manageable content.

well, to be fair, you can just edit in the web interface on git (as you have done). putting the docs on a wiki doesn't allow us to attach documentation to the versions of the software and isn't a viable solution.
