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, or if you're feeling creative, you can register separately at the fanstuff wiki.
• 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!

Stuffed animals

First, i want to talk to you about this. In the future, don't leave a note on the page about what you want on the page or you started the page and you need help. The right thing to do is to say that on the talk page. Second, I like the fact that you're contributing to our wiki. Bravo! Sam the Man 22:38, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I got your message. It's fine, but it's a shower for the wiki if we do not say talk posts on the actual page. Thank you, and have a great wiki experience. Oh, and remember, to sign easily, type 4 tildes (~~~~) Sam the Man 23:32, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

How a wiki works

Hey, welcome to the HRWiki.

Allow me to ramble a bit on how a wiki works.

When you have an idea for a page, or an edit, or any addition to the wiki, you go ahead and be bold and do it. At that moment, it is no longer yours, it belongs to us all. It's a gift, with which we must decide what to do. Aunt Edna's crappy argyle creche went into the trash, and some of the submissions here do as well. But many are workable.

So how do we decide? We look for consensus. That simply means we try to apply the wiki community's opinion at large to the problem. Sometimes there is established consensus, like with 3 appearances needed for a running gag to merit a page. Sometimes there isn't consensus yet, and we need to discuss. And occasionally consensus has changed, and we discuss a lot.

Don't allow any one user to tell you an idea is bad unless he can cite consensus behind it. And even if they do, and you really think it would fit, go for it. The worst thing that can happen is it gats a-deleted. If you never put it up in the first place, it's the same thing, right?

So read the editing help, read the policies and guidelines, and get a feel for how we do business. We're all gonna help you along the way. I know you want to be a contributor, and frankly most 13-year-olds just want to play and have clubs and that's ok, I guess, but I'm happy you want to actually contribute to the knowledge base. Feel free to ask me at any time if you have a question, and I'm sure I speak for all the sysops and other power-users here with that. We absolutely love helping honestly interested users who want to further the wiki in good faith. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  04:14, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
