There are maintenance tasks involved in running Nottinghack Wiki. Most of these tasks can be done by any user.

Things to watch

Welcoming newcomers

You can welcome new wiki users by writing a message on their talk page (to reach this talk page, click on the new user's name, then click on the 'Discussion' tab and click 'Add topic'). We usually encourage new users to write a user page to introduce themselves.
