Link to Wikipedia disclaimers at user creation and login screen edit
A frequent complaint by new users is that they weren't aware of the content disclaimers about spoilers, objectionable pictures or profanity; too often these disclaimers have to be explained by experienced editors, when they ideally should have found them on their own.
The account creation page is the perfect place to inform new users with a link more prominent than the one found at the bottom of all Wikipedia pages, that few people reads. It should include a visible warning notice, with the summarizing title of the content disclaimer ("WIKIPEDIA CONTAINS CONTENT THAT MAY BE OBJECTIONABLE") and a link to the disclaimer page.
