 If you see a link that is colored red, that is a link to an article that has not been created yet. Again, you can create one of these pages yourself. The red links lead directly to the page editing form, where you can write the article yourself. Type the article like you would a normal document, and then just click on the "Save page" button to upload your contribution.

-Wikisimpsons is, essentially, an encyclopedia. You can start browsing by selecting a subject on the [[Wikisimpsons Central|Main Page]], and follow any link to a subsequent subject. All Wikisimpsons articles are interlinked — that is, they have inline hyperlinks to other articles on related subjects. Alternatively, you can use the [[Special:Search|search box]] that can be found on the side of every page.

 If you're feeling lucky, you could also try clicking the "Random page" link found in the quickbar on your left. You could also try the "Recent changes" link to check out the latest updates to our database.

-Anyone is allowed to edit practically any page in Wikisimpsons — yes, anyone and any page! Just click on the "edit this page" link that can be found at the top or bottom of every article. You don't have to be logged in. (See also: [[Wikisimpsons:Why Contribute|Why Contribute]])

 If you want to start off easy, you could find a page that is either incomplete or has an error, and correct that mistake by clicking on the "edit this page" link. If you can think of a way to improve the page, go ahead and do it! Anyone else can come along later and fix it up if you make a mistake — just as you're fixing someone else's mistake. And if you're worried about messing up an article, try editing using the wiki style in the [[Wikisimpsons: Sandbox|Sandbox]] first.
