About Issuepedia
- Issuepedia's mission is here. We invite contributions on any serious subject (silly subjects can go in The HypertWiki or Uncyclopedia), and we are not afraid of flame wars.
Needed "About" Pages
- Issuepedia:editorial guidelines
- Issuepedia:editing techniques including a guide to (or at least a listing of) available templates and MediaWiki features particular to Issuepedia
- Note the View and manipulate interwiki data Special page, which shows all of the available interwiki links. (Many of these are dead links or links to irrelevant sites, and should eventually be removed; feel free to suggest candidates for adding or removing in the Issuepedia:Commons area.)
Ways to Contribute
- Read the User Guide, and do a couple of items on the list
- Find a needy article, and help it
- see also Issuepedia:Editorial Review
- Look for a discussion that interests you, and jump in!
- Find a nonexistent page referred to by a lot of other pages, and start it
- Create an article about any issue you believe to be important
- If the page already exists, add more relevant information
- Look at our proposals; make comments or even suggest your own.

Categories of Note
Most of the interesting action on this site is taking place in these areas:
- Terms of Convenience - newish concepts which needed some way to talk about them
- Issues - things about which people disagree
- Rhetorical Deceptions - ways in which words are sometimes used to confuse rather than enlighten
- Seeds and seedlings - articles needing expansion
