From Homestar Runner Wiki
It's obvious that I'm new (in that I've been using this wiki for about 4 months but this is the first time I've actually made myself an account here), so any tips or talk or whatever would be appreciated. Cheers!
Ooh PS, how do signatures work?
- You want some tips? Hold onto your hat, cause here come more tips than you or your grandmother can handle! In particulary, I highly recommend clicking that "help" link and reading through the pages it leads you to. I know in most settings "help" is just where you go when you've got a problem, but in this case, those pages are an invaluable, comprehensive introduction to pretty much everything you need to know to jump straight into how things are done around here. So anyway, glad you're here, and...
[edit] 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 (09:58, 1 June 2006 (UTC))
P.S.: To answer your question about signatures: just type four tildes (~~~~) after your posts on talk pages. It automatically turns into your name plus date—in fact, I'm about to do it right now. Here goes. —AbdiViklas 09:58, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] On noses
Hi! Wow, you really must have not used your account for awhile, considering that I haven't used mine much for a couple of years! I just wanted to let you know I answered your question over on my talk page. —AbdiViklas 15:33, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
