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.
• 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!

Using Show Preview

Hello Palaroncini Larry, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep recent changes and page histories from being flooded.

Dag Yo! Thanks for the tip i guess that would be a good idea! New to this and kind of trying out diffrent things! ~Palaroncini Larry!

Totally cool. I'm aware that it's not always obvious to new users how things are run. Welcome to the wiki, by the way. Feel free to ask me for help on my talk page if you have any questions. I'm always happy to help. Also, when writing talk posts, it helps if you sign your posts at the end using 4 tildes (~~~~). It lets people know who said what and when, and provides an automatic link to your user page. Hope that helps. — Defender1031*Talk 17:37, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks so much for the tip! I was just about to ask you how you sign your comments. thanks a pantload! BTW how do i autoconferm so i can upload images? Palaroncini Larry 17:43, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

That'll happen automatically when you've been around for long enough (30 days if I recall correctly). Also, it appears you entered something into your user preferences other than your user name. Signatures must contain your username or something which directly implies your username. See HRWiki:Signature and Help:Signature for more info. — Defender1031*Talk 17:49, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Dang! you guys are fast! Thanks for the many tips! one more question! when my user name pops up on discussin or talk can i make it a cool color or with an awsome font like yours or somthing? or is that only for admins? "Palaroncini Larry is great" 17:57, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

How to do that is explained on the pages I linked to. Everyone is welcome to have a signature within the guidelines. For the record, I'm not an admin, just a user with a very long experience here. — Defender1031*Talk 18:30, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

Oh ok! cool cool depressing Cool. Thanks Palaroncini Larry 20:03, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

another question how can i help the wiki. i use it pretty much every day but most of the time i only have a dial-up connection. if its best for me to just enjoy the wiki and keep my mouth shut I am truly OK with that, but if i can help the epic wiki i will be happy to.
