Some links to help get you started

Here are some resources to help familiarize yourself with the Homestar Runner Wiki:

• Before you do any significant editing, be sure to read our wiki standards and our other policies.
• If you need general information, editing tips, or answers to frequently asked questions, check out the various help pages.
• To practice editing, head over to the sandbox.
• If you have a question that isn't addressed on a help page, you can ask it on the FAQ talk page.

To get plugged in to the community:

• Let us know a little bit about yourself on your user page. (Please see the rules and guidelines for your user space first.)
• 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.
• If you see an update on homestarrunner.com that isn't listed on the Main Page, put it up here.
• To sign and timestamp a post on a talk page, type four tildes (~~~~).
• Above all, be sure to be bold and have fun!

Using "Show Preview"

This one, not that one. We got that? Now gimmie five.

Hello Drexlore, welcome to the wiki! I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep recent changes and page histories from being flooded. Thanks, and if you happen to need help with anything, don't hessitate to ask me or any of the other users. cash money ^t_c 21:58, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

I'll make sure I show previews! After all, I'm on the recent changes patrol so that I can see what is going on so far recently. -El Trento 20:35, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Signing Posts on talk pages requires your username or something that suggests your username...

Also, as noted in the signature guidelines, "Your signature must include a text version of your username, with a link to your user page. If you use a shortened or altered form of your official name, it must be something that suggests your username." Signing as "Somone that's not It's Dot Com" violates this rule, and will often be misleading if something looks at it at a glance and doesn't notice the first half. Hope that helps.

Hey there, GChrome. I deleted the image Ken Park.gif that you uploaded in accordance with our youth protection policy. Many of our users are quite young and the gif was completely inappropriate for them. Thank you for understanding. Loafing 19:14, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
