Some links to help get you started

Here are some resources to help familiarize yourself with the Homestar Runner Wiki:

• Before you do any significant editing, be sure to read our wiki standards and our other policies.
• If you need general information, editing tips, or answers to frequently asked questions, check out the various help pages.
• To practice editing, head over to the sandbox.
• If you have a question that isn't addressed on a help page, you can ask it on the FAQ talk page.

To get plugged in to the community:

• Let us know a little bit about yourself on your user page. (Please see the rules and guidelines for your user space first.)
• If you're not sure what you can do to help out, head over to The Stick.
• If you're looking for more community interaction, you can also register over at our forum, or if you're feeling creative, you can register separately at the fanstuff wiki.
• If you see an update on homestarrunner.com that isn't listed on the Main Page, put it up here.
• To sign and timestamp a post on a talk page, type four tildes (~~~~).
• Above all, be sure to be bold and have fun!

Sig

Your sig is too big. It has to be able to fit inside the sigbox. cash money ^t_c 22:04, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Your sig also extends too far down for me. ColdReactive 14:09, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Stop posting random messages in talk pages

Please stop posting random messages in random users' talk pages. It is considered spamming and it is a bit rude. Should you continue to do this, the powers that be have to take steps to prevent you from continuing in this endeavour. Thanks. --Stux 19:20, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, kid. You just made me quit the wiki. Not like anyone cares though, because since I'm a gnome, I'm considered useless on this wiki. Signing off forever, DavidMichael T C

No one made you quit the Wiki. He just asked you to stop spamming talk pages, which you were doing. --Jay (Gobble) 19:41, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Like Jay said, there is no one making you quit the wiki and no one has said anything about gnome work or your work being useless. Lots of users here do varying degrees of gnome work and all that work is a positive contribution to the wiki. However, your actions at the time were disrupting the wiki and a serious message was necessary to make the disruption clear. There is no need to overreact. --Stux 22:52, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't doubt that you just meant to be friendly, but Stux and Jay are right that it's not proper wiki etiquette to send out messages en masse that way. In the future, I would suggest that you simply leave a Happy Halloween (or whatever holiday it might be) message on your own userpage for anyone who happens by to see. Also, don't be discouraged from gnoming, as we're always glad to have people improving the encyclopedia. Heimstern Läufer 00:59, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I accept your apology. I'm not quitting. I love this wiki too much. DavidMichael T C
