[edit] Join us!

Anyone is welcome to join! Just take the following steps:

[edit] List yourself as a member

Please add yourself to any and all appropriate sections of the member lists below. Doing so lets visitors and other taskforce members know your interests and your ability to contribute, and will help in the assigning of tasks.

• To note your interest in a particular topic, just click the Add yourself link next to each section that you are interested in, and insert your signature (by typing three or four tildes - e.g. ~~~) and a link to your desk ([[Username:YOURNAME/Desk|Desk]], see below on how to create your desk) at the bottom of the list, along with any further comments. Repeat for any other areas you are interested in. Alternately, you can edit the full members by interest page and insert yourself in all sections that apply to you in one go. If you have no preference and are willing to tackle anything, add yourself to the Anything section.

• To indicate the number of tasks you are willing to take on at any one time, go to the members by size of queue section below and click the Add yourself link on the appropriate section. Once the new page opens, add yourself to the table, following the directions there.

Please remember to add yourself to both the members by interest and the members by size lists!

[edit] Create a desk

A desk is where tasks will be assigned to you. You can create one using the following procedure:

• Edit your userpage and directly paste in the following text (with the brackets): {{cleanup user link}}. You can also use {{User:Goeagles4321/Cleanup}}, {{User:Dvandersluis/Userboxes/Cleanup}} or {{User Cleanup Taskforce}} for a userbox or {{Cleanup user box}} for a longer box. Any of these will automatically create a box noting your membership to others viewing your user page, and a red Desk link. Save your changes.
• Click on the new link to your desk subpage to create your desk page.
• In the new desk page, paste the following text from the cleanup user template, replacing # OF TASKS DESIRED and AREAS OF INTEREST/EXPERTISE with your own preferences:

{{cleanup user|q=# OF TASKS DESIRED|d=AREAS OF INTEREST/EXPERTISE}}

• Save your changes. Make sure to click the Watch this page box when editing, so you will be informed of any changes (like a new assignment)!

You now are now ready to go to work! Please see the main project page for more information on assigning and completing tasks.

[edit] Member lists

You can find a list of current members below. They have been sorted for ease of assigning tasks relevant to their abilities and interests. Please give them some tasks to complete!

[edit] Members by area of interest or expertise

These users have identified their interests so you can bring a problem article of a particular type to their desk. If you are joining the taskforce, please list yourself in multiple sections here, should they apply.
