Um, nope. I'm not The Boss. I didn't sign up for that job. I'm only in charge of making sure people follow Wikia's TOU, and I hand out pencils, scissors and detention slips...

Welcome to wiki! Where even the anonymous user has a vote!

Some people, like Greenny, tend to work on only one article or section of the wiki at a time.

I, like James, tend to edit just about everywhere on the wiki (sometimes at the same time). Oh, yeah, I tend to get distracted by... OOOH!!!! SHINEY!!! ...Wait, what?

Seriously though, you can do as much or as little as you want. I don't know if you noticed, but you can find a list of the current items that need attention by visiting the pages in category site maintenance, and the subcategories listed on that page. You can also use Special:Random to find a random page that you can examine for issues. If you want to start pages from scratch, you can do that, too.

Don't worry about being perfect. Every editor has to start somewhere, and I took me a long time to get to the level of knowledge that I currently have (and I still make lots of mistakes... Just ask James & Greeny). Every editor has certain areas where they are good (and bad). Some editors are better (or worse) than others.

Unless the wiki is in lockdown mode (which is very rare, and only for a very limited duration), you can edit almost any page. Only a few of the pages are locked, usually due to vandalism, edit warring, or because it would cause serious problems to the wiki if it wasn't edited correctly. You can still edit those pages, but the edits are moderated (you have to request the changes on the talk page for the article, in the comments, or in the forums).

As long as people are making good faith efforts to improve the wiki, they are welcome to edit wherever they like on this wiki.
