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:

== Delete User ==
-
* 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 not sure what you can do to help out, head over to [[HRWiki:The Stick|The Stick]].
+
-
* 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!

Feel free to delete this message when you're done reading it. (In general, it's frowned on to delete other people's input on talk pages, but this entry is just here to be helpful. When it's done being helpful, I guarantee you won't hurt my feelings by ditching it!)

Is there any way to delete this user? I, {{User: Unme93/sig}} , used to be wiki grrl, but I lost the password to the account and the email I created the account on is cancelled. Could someone please help me?

Also, I think that you should be a logged in user to edit a page. It would create a whole lot less of vandalism to be reverted, and noone would be so up and iffy about some edits.

One more.... I would like some help rewriting my user page please. I really don't know a lot of HTML, and I would really like someone with past experience with HTML to help me and give me pointers. I would like the background changed, my pointer changed, some background music, and a cool text font. Its okay if you don't have the time, but if there is anybody who would like to help, just let me know!!! Thankyou!!!

By the way, you mentioned "screwing up" [[User:Brightstar Shiner|Brightstar Shiner]]'s page? No harm done. You can leave messages for other users on their "user talk" pages&mdash;you're looking at yours right now! I've taken the liberty of moving your note from [[User:Brighstar Shiner]] to [[User talk:Brightstar Shiner]] and signing it for you. (This is awesome)&mdash;after a post on a talk page, just type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. When you save the page it'll turn into your name and the date&mdash;like this: &mdash;[[User:AbdiViklas|AbdiViklas]] 21:10, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

:No. That would leave holes in the database which I imagine would cause some major problems, though I don't really know just what they would be. Take a look at [[HRWiki:Privacy_policy#Removal_of_user_accounts]].

:I don't know that disabling anonymous edits would really do anything. We tried that once, and all the vandals did was start vandalizing with randomly generated usernames.

:As far as your user page and HTML, there is very little HTML that will actually do anything on the wiki. FYI: background music is impossible. Modifying the background requires knowledge of CSS (only an admin can apply it, though)  and the pointer code should be easy enough to lift from another user page.

No. That would leave holes in the database which I imagine would cause some major problems, though I don't really know just what they would be. Take a look at HRWiki:Privacy_policy#Removal_of_user_accounts.
I don't know that disabling anonymous edits would really do anything. We tried that once, and all the vandals did was start vandalizing with randomly generated usernames.
As far as your user page and HTML, there is very little HTML that will actually do anything on the wiki. FYI: background music is impossible. Modifying the background requires knowledge of CSS (only an admin can apply it, though) and the pointer code should be easy enough to lift from another user page. For the font, just use this formula: 
<span style="font-family: XXX;">Your text goes here.</span>
