Linking Rules

• Active sites only - If a site is down indefinitely, on indefinite hiatus, inactive for several months, or "Coming Soon", it will be removed.
• No editorializing - List only the name of the site and a very brief description of its content. Comments like "The best fansite!!" will be removed.
• No duplicates - If a site is both a fan site and a forum, it should not be listed in both places. Pick the most appropriate category.

In addition, articles and interviews should be listed in reverse-chronological order (newest ones first) and other links should be listed in alphabetical order by title. Official sites are listed in order of importance.

Don't add sites that are down

Listen people! the forums you are trolling to put them back in are DOWN! -No Loafing V2

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about. Can you please elaborate? I haven't seen any trolling on this page. And maybe adding a section heading to the topic you started would help. -- Tom 14:18, 17 Sep 2004 (MST)

Personal websites

I have a Homestar Runner fansite, but it only has my stuff (fanfiction and fanart). Would it be okay for me to add to the list?--Hysterical Woman 11:39, 24 Oct 2004 (MST)

Fan site pages?

I noticed that we now have links to pages for every fan site. What are information are these pages going to contain? Will it be something that the one line description doesn't have? And will they be NPOV? -- Tom 14:23, 16 Dec 2004 (MST)

I noticed this too; I don't think we need articles on fan created sites. The link is sufficient to direct people to them. If they want to make articles on the Fanstuff Wiki, I say go nuts, but this Wiki should be as "cannon" as possible. - Dr Haggis - Talk 03:21, 17 Dec 2004 (MST)

Website Linking

I think the "Want to link this Wiki from your website?" section needs to be a seperate page, or at least seen better. It's hard to find it way down at the bottom of Links. →FireBird

Maybe something like Links/Link to the Wiki would be good.—StrongstarRunbad 20:36, 14 Jan 2005 (MST)

I think that should be the case only if there are many images that can be chosen from. Right now two are dead and I have had to delete them (if anyone has local copies of them please upload them to the wiki!). I also suggest that the remaining offsite linked images should be saved locally on the hrwiki's image directory. I, unfortunately don't really know how to do this at this time. If I learn how, I will do so. --Stux 18:49, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Banners and buttons

Are we allowed to add our own banners and buttons to the "Link to HRWiki" section? Can we upload them here? →evin290 19:20, 19 Feb 2005 (MST)

As far as I know, yes. →[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

E2TL.PLAYVECTREX.COM

Is something wrong with everybodytothelimit.com? It just goes to some page with main5.swf embedded in it with a picture of a poorly animated duck with a server clock. Is that supposed to happen when I go to any page on that site? →—↑_{Darklinkskywalker}|^{Talk_|i did this stuff_}↓ 03:55, 7 Aug 2005 (UTC)

I am experiencing the same thing, only now not even the duck appears. I beleive that this link should be considered dead and should be deleted. According to the description, it likely has a copy of the Oktam mirror. Also, the kitcorp mirror is more thorough than the Oktam mirror and should be moved to the top of the list. I will come back in a few days and do the aforementioned changes if there are no objections. --Stux 18:42, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Broken links

Seems silly for this page to have broken links on it. Perhaps they can be moved to the top of the talk page with some kind of notice on the main page to the effect of: "If you don't see a known link here, it might be down. Please check the talk page." What do you think? I'll go ahead and do this if nobody objects. — Joey (talk·edits) 16:49, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Seems ok. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 16:57, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

Homestarrunner.net

Do we really need to have homestarrunner.net linked on this page anymore? -— DBK!
