This page is a handy directory to various locations of interest in Wikipedia. Only dynamic pages should be listed here, no policy pages etc. For other useful directories, see the navigation bar above.

Learning the wikiway
The introduction to Wikipedia  Your first article Creating an account Sandbox This is the page where you can experiment with wiki without risking the wrath of the regulars.

New contributors' help page Think of it as "Wikipedia for dummies" except we're too nice to call you that. How to edit Help desk Wikipedia's help brigade. Ask any question about how to use Wikipedia. Volunteers are standing by.

Bureaucracy
These are the pages where people talk about the running of Wikipedia.

Village pump Don't like how Wikipedia works? Feel overburdened by instruction creep? Thought up a brilliant new policy which will make all Wikipedians happy forever? Visit the village pump to discuss the technical issues, policies, and operations of Wikipedia.

Requests for adminship Have you ever wanted to be a costumed superhero janitor? Well, through this page, you (or a nominee of your choice) can be the next best thing! Administrators are Wikipedians with a few extra tools. This is the page where admin candidates are nominated and voted on. (If you're considering becoming one, you should read What adminship is not first.)

Dispute resolution
Ideally, Wikipedians get along with each other in the spirit of wikilove. But these are the places of interest to resolve conflicts when they happen.

Requests for comment Visit this page to let other level-headed Wikipedians give their $0.02 worth of the situation.

Requests for mediation A slightly more formal, and serious avenue for dispute resolution, visit this page if you feel the need to ask help from Wikipedia's mediators.

Requests for arbitration This is the "highest court of the land". All disputes go here as a last resort, to be overseen by a carefully chosen select group of arbitrators.

The best of Wikipedia
