Welcome!

Welcome to the Homestar Runner Wiki! I wanted to extend a personal welcome, since I believe strongly that a 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 welcoming committee (like me!). You can also post questions on the 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!
• If you need general information, editing tips, or answers to frequently asked questions, check out the help page.
• Before you do any significant editing, be sure to familiarize yourself with our wiki standards.
• Read up on the rules and guidelines for your 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 page and edit it, then watch my page (via Recent changes) for a response.
• 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 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!)

Sincerely,
AbdiViklas and the rest of the welcoming committee (23:00, 2 January 2006 (UTC))

ok, even though abdi beat me to you, um.........thanks for joining the wiki! Seriously 23:06, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry for doing what I just complained about earlier (beating somebody to the welcome)! —AbdiViklas 23:21, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Signature

To answer your question, one would leave a signature by typing four tildes (~~~~). -- Tom 23:14, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

{EDIT CONFLICT (i.e. written at the same time as the above edit)}Hey YK! Here's the easiest way to sign something: type some tildes, like ~~~. If you use three it will automatically turn into your Username (linked to your user page); four will turn into the same thing plus the time and date; and five will turn into just the time and date. And as for figuring out how things are done, I highly recommend the links in my welcome message above, especially Help. (And, as you start doing more editting, the standards.) But really the best way to catch on is to hang out monitoring Recent changes and see what people do and say. Now, check out what happens when I use ~~~~: —AbdiViklas 23:21, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Lemme give it a try here... YK 23:36, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Ah, good. Now I suppose I should make an "about me" page... eh. I'll do that later. =P Thanks for the help, guys. YK 23:36, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Strong Bad's Website on STUFF

Hi there, YK. I've removed your STUFF page on Strong Bad's Website because you're arguments were correct: bottom 10 came out two years after website; therefore, the fact was pointless and has been removed. Thanks! —FireBird|Talk 01:46, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for letting me know. I made a comment in the Talk page for said site, but it went unanswered for a week or so, so I decided STUFFing it might get it some notice. I thought it was kinda silly, but I didn't want to outright delete it, so...yeah. =P -YK 01:52, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
