Welcome to Wikispooks!
We're glad you came. There's lots to do.
The Community portal is probably the best place to start for new users. To add a Wikispooks search facility to your browser, go here. If you've got a topic you're itching to write about, just dive in. If you're not sure where to start, you can introduce yourself by editing either this page or your user page.

- Hey Robin! I’m glad to be here. Thanks for accepting my account creation request. I will try to contribute. LissanX (talk) 05:48, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
Site upgrades
Special:Version reports MediaWiki, 1.32.2 which although not the latest version is pretty up to date. I'm no expert on the site software or mobile responsiveness. Are you familiar with this stuff? Which upgrades are most important? Could a skin be useful to make the site more mobile friendly? We did have a request recently for using the visual editor. -- Robin (talk) 06:37, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
- Really, I didn’t realize. I’m not too experienced with Wikipedia software. Then is Wikipedia the way it is due to extensions? I mean, for example, the mobile viewing mode, the newest UI that let’s you edit more easily using mobile devices, language templates, as well as the page views section found on the history pages. Do you anything about how those aspects are added to a Wiki? If not, I could try and figure it out if you’re open to incorporating them here. LissanX (talk) 23:36, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
- I have some knowledge of how it works. Mediawiki allows for "extensions" which modify the functionality, and "skins" which modify its appearance. This site currently has some of the former (see Special:Version) and not many of the latter. This site should be fairly comparable in usability to Wikipedia, since it uses similar software. Are you talking specifically about editing using a mobile device? (If so, then installing the VisualEditor extension might fix this). -- Robin (talk) 01:43, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
- I don’t strictly mean using a mobile device, but that’s definitely one of the main improvements I think would really benefit Wikispooks, both in terms of readability and editability. If you’d like, maybe I can provide some side-by-side images of the differences I’m referring to. If so, just provide me with your email (or Wire Messenger, if you use it). — LissanX (talk) 02:43, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
