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:

• 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 (18:46, 10 October 2005 (UTC))

Testing adding comments

This is a new comment. Want to see if adding three tildes works like I expect it to. KieferSkunk

Almost. Not quite there. KieferSkunk 20:18, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

The bird

Hey KieferSkunk. That issue is being discussed on Talk:Lack of Visible Arms, and isn't really a STUFF question. But you should definitely add your thoughts there. — It's dot com 17:01, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Huh, sorry. It seemed like a STUFFable item - similar things are being discussed on other discussion pages. - KieferSkunk 17:07, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Dot com: So I understand this, what are the rules for STUFF'ing an item, then? I've been told/encouraged repeatedly to STUFF fun-facts, so I think it's a little odd that when I finally did STUFF one that seemed significant, I was told not to. Can you clarify this? Thanks. - KieferSkunk 17:12, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Fun facts are listed on toons. You don't see them so much on articles. Notice that the heading for the section where this goes is called References, not Fun Facts. For articles, we try to keep all of the discussion on the talk page. There is a little bit of overlap, and you possibly could have STUFF'd this if you'd gotten to it first... but since there is already an ongoing discussion, that is where you should voice your opinion. Thanks for asking. :) — It's dot com 17:18, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

hey thanks for signing my page, but you actually signed the test page that is being deleted. Can you sign the real page? Thanks I R F 00:30, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Congrats to Bubsty

Just wanted to leave a quick note in my own Talk congratulating Bubsty on a valiant effort to battle the trollbots we experienced earlier today. I tried to help as well, but I was only able to affect about 5 or 6 pages before the site went down completely. (Plus, I had to do actual work, too.)

So, great jorb there, Bubsty! - KieferSkunk 07:59, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
