New entries go at the bottom. Typical entry format:
 
# {{User|Name}} (I am interested in working on...) ~~~~~
 
Please note that it is "User|" not "User:" and five tildes at the end, not four.
 
Another way to do it is:
 
# ~~~ (I am interested in working on...) ~~~~~
 
with three then five tildes.
