![Wikispooks to do.png](/w/images/thumb/d/de/Wikispooks_to_do.png/100px-Wikispooks_to_do.png)
To start editing the site, the first thing you need to do is to login. As a next step, you may wish to read the Style Guide. Here are some possible next steps for how to help expand WikiSpooks...
New pages to create
Your Own Topic
![Wikispooks195.png](/w/images/thumb/2/24/Wikispooks195.png/47px-Wikispooks195.png)
It's easy to start a new page - you just need to choose a title. If you're a researcher, you won't need telling where to edit. Otherwise any page where you have opinions which are politically unwelcome on Wikipedia is likely to be a good topic, especially if you have specialist knowledge. Be bold! Starting a page is the best way to get help from more experienced editors, who will pitch in and contribute what they can. Choose a title for the page and then enter it in to the URL (or make a link to it and then follow the link). As above, then click on 'Create page'.
Broken Links
Browsing the site you'll sometimes see a link in red, which is a warning that it links to a page which hasn't been made yet. For example, there's nothing here yet about Google. To start a page like this, first click the link and then click on 'Create page'. A fast way to find broken links is to see this list of wanted pages.
Existing pages to edit
Your User Page
![Talkorange.png](/w/images/thumb/5/55/Talkorange.png/47px-Talkorange.png)
Every Wikispooks user has User page - i.e. a page assigned specially for them to write as much (or as little) as they like about themselves - or anything else. Unless you modified it, your user page will only have the short bio you sent when you made a login. Writing more about yourself or uploading a photo could be a good start in getting to know other users.
Recent Changes
One of the best ways to encourage your fellow Wikispooks editors is to improve the pages they are working on -- even if it's something as simple as fixing a typo in one of their recent contributions. The Recent changes link on the left will show you the most recently worked on pages.
0 Buggy Templates
Wikispooks has a list of templates which are not working properly. These are all in active use, so would be a great help to the site if you can fix templates.
22 Untidy Pages
If would like to help tidy up, whether you're a re-organiser or a proof reader, see the list of untidy pages - pages which have good information on them, but for one reason or another do not present it well.
47 Priority Pages
Wikispooks has a list of priority pages - pages which relate to deep politics. Most of these are in dire need of work, so contributions on these pages are particularly welcome.
3 Problem Pages
Some pages have more serious problems. See the list of problem pages for pages which have serious problems of bias, gaps, clarity etc.
9,599 Stubs
Wikispooks has a list of pages which are 'stubs' - i.e. little more than a title and a link or two - and so could really benefit from even a few minutes of work.
Pages to add data to
It you're looking for a small job which could be done in a couple of minutes, there are plenty of tasks other than working on complete articles:
937 Pages missing Descriptions
Each page on Wikispooks should have a description, the box containing the summary paragraph at the top. However, this standard was only fixed in 2014, so most of them don't yet. Here is a list of Category:Undescribed Pages.
1 Pages with overlong descriptions
Each description should be less than 500 characters. This is a category for pages with overlong descriptions.
214 Unsourced Documents
Some of the documents on Wikispooks are from unknown sources. A bit of Googling could quite likely turn up a source for most of the Category:Unsourced Documents.
74 Untyped Documents
Some of the documents on Wikispooks do not have a document type. It doesn't take long to decide which documentType is appropriate for most of the Category:Untyped Documents.
32 Subjectless Documents
Some of the documents on Wikispooks do not have a specified subject. This should be a WikiSpooks pagename (whether or not yet created). See Category:Subjectless Documents for a list.
212 Missing Images
Most pages on Wikispooks have no images at all. Uploading images is pretty straightforward, and is a good way to increase the clarity and appeal of articles. Here is a list of Category:Pages with broken file links, most of which are missing images.
