What can I do to help

The Wiki
A wiki is essentially a website that anyone with a registered account can edit. By clicking on the edit tab at the top of any page, you can edit its contents.
What you can do
Edit and Add-to
- Already existing articles may need lots of work or tweaks here and there. This is particularly true of some pages with poor formatting or spelling.
- Text editing is easy to do, just add whatever you like, as long as it's clean.
- We can correct any mistakes so don't worry about 'destroying' anything!
- If you want any help editing, look at editing help and the editing guidelines.
Make 'Stubs'
- Click on red links or search for a page name that doesn't exist to start editing a new page.
- Making very short articles stimulates people to edit the text, which helps grow the content of the website. However, articles which contain content of the same quality as 'OMG they r fit!!!one!!!"""!11!' are just going to get deleted, so try to put something worthwhile there!
- Never put placeholders like under construction, as the whole site is technically always under construction, so it is redundant.
Format Content
- If you're familiar with the codes to make an article look nice then by all means go ahead and make it look pretty.
- There is a good resource for editing on the MediaWiki website.
Add pages to the frontpage
- If you can think of something to add to the main page please suggest it in the Community Portal so a moderator can look into it.
Recent Changes
- You can patrol Recent Changes to augment any new additions or correct any mistakes.

Anything else you like
