Notes to myself:

Why is deletion stuff in Category:Community?

Help
There should be some better Help page, reachable by typing in "Help" in the search box:

Links to quick help:
 * I'm a complete newbie, how do I get started -- introduction, tutorial
 * editing pages -- quick editing guide
 * finding a wiki on my favorite subject -- list of wikicities
 * uploading or editing images -- image help
 * starting a new wiki -- requesting a new wiki
 * cleaning up vandalism or spam -- revert, spam blacklist, how to contact admins
 * solving dispute on my wiki -- are there any guides to dispute resolution
 * I found a bug -- bugzilla, common errors, how to contact tech help

Urgent help: vandalbot, other?

my question isn't listed/the help pages didn't help: to the help desk.

Tutorial
Should be split up more into section, more aimed to total newbies?

Should lead new people through these steps, in the same way that the Wikipedia Introduction does. Maybe with the same friendly format.
 * 1) What is Wikicities, registering, logging in
 * 2) Basic editing
 * 3) links, formatting, creating new pages
 * 4) Images
 * 5) Templates
 * 6) Talk pages, Userspace, community interaction
 * 7) Administrator functions (possibly as a separate tutorial, so as not to confuse non-admins)
 * 8) Places to find more help

The main page

 * Really dull. Really really dull.
 * Currently emphasizes starting a new wiki over finding an existing one
 * Should make more importnat things visible without scrolling down, should add color or something.
