Recent Changes
Following the changes made by other Wikispooks editors and improving on their work is a great way to encourage them -- even if its something as simple as fixing a typo. The Recent changes menu on the left will show you the most recently worked on pages.
Wikipedia+ Pages
Template:WP* is a piece of software that aids Wikipedia users by notifying them when it finds a Wikispooks page to complement the Wikipedia page they're reading. These pages are gateway pages which summarise the problems of the Wikipedia page, offer links to less problematic takes and describe the Wikispooks page (if any). See the Wikipedia+ menu on the left for more details.
Your User Page
Every Wikispooks user has a userpage on which they can write as much (or as little) as they like about themselves - or anything else. Writing more about yourself or uploading a photo could be a good start in getting to know other users.
Wikispooks 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.
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'.
Your Own Topic
Making a new page is easy - you just need to choose a title. Any page where you have opinions which are politically unwelcome on Wikipedia is likely to be a good topic. Be bold! 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'.
