| - | Welcome to the '''Homestar Runner Wiki!''' I wanted to extend a personal welcome, since I believe strongly that a [[Wikipedia:Wiki|Wiki]] should be a democratic and non-threatening place where everyone feels like they can contribute. Unfortunately it can be very frustrating at first if you make changes that are ignored or changed back by other users, but if so I encourage you to hang in there; as you get a feel for the way things are done around here you'll feel more at home. That was my experience, anyway!

| | | | |
| - | If you need any help, feel free to ask anyone on the [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee#Members|welcoming committee]] (like [[User_talk:AbdiViklas|me]]!). You can also post questions on the [[HRWiki talk:FAQ|FAQ talk page]].
| |

| |
| - | Here are some tips to get you started:
| |
| - | * The best way to start is with the [[HRWiki:Introduction]], followed by a brief tour of the wiki: [[HRWiki:Tour|HRWiki tour]]!
| |
| - | * If you need general information, editing tips, or answers to frequently asked questions, check out the [[Help:Contents|help]] page.
| |
| - | * Before you do any significant editing, be sure to familiarize yourself with our [[HRWiki:Standards|wiki standards]].
| |
| - | * Read up on the rules and guidelines for your [[HRWiki:User space|user page]]. What you're reading right now, by the way, is the "Talk:" page that goes with your user page. It's a good way to communicate directly with specific users. The best way to respond, though, is on the same user page where the conversation was started. E.g. if you have a question, go to my [[User_talk:AbdiViklas|user talk page]] and edit it, then watch my page (via [[Special:Recentchanges|Recent changes]]) for a response.

| |
| - | * If you're looking for more community interaction, you can also register over at our [http://forum.hrwiki.org forum] and get More Community Interaction Than You Or Your Grandmother Can Handle!
| |
| - | * Above all, '''be bold''' and have fun!
