<h2>Welcome to Waihekepedia!</h2>
 
[[Image:island.jpg|frame|right]]'''[[Waihekepedia:About|Waihekepedia]]''' aims to be a knowledge repository for all things about [[Waiheke Island]] - an informal encyclopedia about Waiheke by islanders themselves that will continue to grow as more people contribute articles and photos. So far we have [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] articles and the site is growing daily. You too can contribute to this not-for-profit project. Everyone has their own specialist knowledge about the island - add your five cents worth. The more people contribute, the more comprehensive and more accurate it will become. All you need to do is log in with a valid email address and you can be a Waihekepedia editor. Check out the [[Help:Contents|Help]] page to see how you can edit any page '''right now'''.
 
 
 
 
 
'''But before you do''', please read the wiki's [[guidelines]].
