* Ask questions at the [[Encyclopedia Dramatica:Thizzlehat Junction Center|'''Thizzlehat Junction Center''']].

;Writing

* Write an article. This is the best thing you can do for ED.

* Check the [[Main Page/ED:BNA|'''Bad New Article''']]s portal to see if there's anything that ought to be expanded or cleaned up.Avoid putting deathnotices on articles as there are usually better ways to do shit

* Check the list of [[Special:WantedPages|'''wanted articles''']]. This is automatically generated when two or more pages contain links to a page that doesn't yet exist.

* Expand on [[:Category:Stub|'''stubs''']].

* Rewrite [[:Category:Crap|'''crappy articles''']].

;Images

* [[Special:Upload|'''Add images''']] to articles, or upload better versions of [['''wanted images''']]. Make sure you give your image a detailed name instead of a bunch of symbols or numbers so search engines can actually find them and link to them easier.

* Browse though [[Special:UnusedFiles|'''unused images and files''']] and find homes for them. Do not delete or put death notices on duplicate images, use the <nowiki>{{duplicate}}</nowiki> template instead.

;Maintenance

* Eliminate [[Special:DeadendPages|'''dead-end pages''']] by adding links to other articles, preferably [[Special:LonelyPages|'''lonely ones''']].

* Categorize articles. We have a list of existing [[Special:Categories|'''categories''']] and a list of [[Special:UncategorizedPages|'''uncategorized articles''']].
