If you are an experienced wiki-editor, then you can do even more things to help out - our simple templates and help pages can be greatly improved, if you have the knowledge. Please remember to only upload images that we are legally allowed to use, and select the appropriate image rights template from the dropdown box when you upload an image.  You can make a big difference with just a few hours of your time!  [[Special:WantedPages|Here]] are some of our most wanted pages.
Make a page about yourself, if one doesn't already exist!  Remember, it's not Facebook or a promotional flyer - it's an encyclopedia article about your time in Talossa!  Check out the page on [[Ian Eschemplarh]] to see how an article about a person should look!
