Maybe you can help a fellow wiki administrator.

User:LifePart2 made to me the following suggestion to encourage more badly needed participation in the wiki. I think this is good suggestion but I have no idea how to implement it. Your help will be appreciated. --Istioploos 14:44, 25 July 2013 (BST)

As I suggested, I also think it would be a good idea to have a lightbox popover appear after a new user has been on the site for, say 2 minutes (long enough to show they are using the site), with some kind of moral imperative for them to contribute if they found it useful. Something along the lines of "Are you finding this page useful? If so, please would you 'pay it forward' by contributing to the pages about places that you have previously visited. It doesn't have to be much - even a single line giving your date of visit in the section "Last Visited & Details Checked " tells other people that the information is current and up to date.And don't worry about screwing anything up - all edits are moderated, so if do you make a mistake, it will be corrected for you. The more people that do even the smallest of updates, the more useful this site will become. To get started, just register here: Oh, and if you have a relevant blog or website, you can include a link to that too."

or something like that. The fewer barriers people perceive, the more will do it LifePart2 14:14, 18 July 2013 (BST);
