The Homestar Runner Wiki provides user pages to facilitate communication among participants in the project. If your username is JohnDoe:
- Your user page is the page at "User:JohnDoe"
- Your user talk page is the page at "User talk:JohnDoe"
- Your user space is the collection of all the above.
Details about yourself shouldn't go in the main namespace, which is reserved for Homestar Runner content.
What should I avoid?
Generally, you should avoid any substantial content that is unrelated to the Homestar Runner Wiki. Examples include:
- A weblog relating your non-Homestar Runner Wiki activities
- Discussion not related to the Homestar Runner Wiki
- Excessive personal information
- Opinion pieces not related to the Homestar Runner Wiki or other non-encyclopedic material
- Communications with people uninvolved with the project
Free and low-cost web hosting, email, and weblog services are widely available, and are a good alternative for content unrelated to the Wiki.
Particularly, community-building activities that are not strictly "on topic," may be allowed, especially when initiated by committed users with good edit histories. At their best, such activities help us to build the community, and this helps to build the encyclopedia.
Ownership and editing of pages in the user space
As a tradition, the Homestar Runner Wiki offers wide latitude to users to manage their user space as they see fit. However, pages in user space still do belong to the community:
- Contributions should always respect the copyrights of The Brothers Chaps.
- Other users may edit pages in your user space.
- Community policies apply to your user space just as they do elsewhere.
- In some cases, material that does not somehow further the goals of the project may be removed (see below).
In general, if you have material that you do not wish for others to edit, or that is otherwise inappropriate for the Homestar Runner Wiki, it should be placed on a personal web site. Many free and low-cost web hosting services are available to serve such needs.
