===How can I help?===
; These are some good practices

*If you see someone vandalizing the wiki, fix the page and contact an admin.
*If you see any grammatical or spelling mistakes, correct them.

* Help expand some '''[[:Category:Article stubs|article stubs]]'''.
* '''[[Special:ShortPages|Locate]]''' and '''[[Template:Stub|mark]]''' pages that need expanding as [[:Category:Article stubs|article stubs]].
* Create links to some '''[[Special:LonelyPages|orphaned pages]]'''.
* Upload and add some images! Visit '''[[Special:Upload]]'''.
* Write a new article that's on '''[[Special:WantedPages|the wanted list]]'''!
* Fix any '''[[Special:DoubleRedirects|double redirects]]''' by redirecting the first page to the third page.
* Check for '''[[Special:BrokenRedirects|broken redirects]]''' and either mark them for deletion or find a more appropriate target.

===Who
===What can admins (and bureaucrats) do that normal users can't===
Unlike you, normal user, admins can:
* Delete and undelete pages, page histories, and uploaded files.
* Lock (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights or autoconfirmed status.
* Ban IP addresses or users from editing; and very quick "rollback" or nuking of undesirable edits.
 
Bureaucrats can do even more. In addition with everything admins can do, bureaucrats can also
* Give or revoke admin, bureaucrat, rollback, or content moderator rights to any user.
* Have access to the backend upon request.
