When Strong bad sings at the start, it's to the tune of the theme music for the old kids' show "Romper Room." Where should I add this? --

Caradhras: /* American Flag */

== Revising ==
Looks like this one needs revising. I'm on it. -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 14:42, 5 Aug 2004 (MST)

== American Flag ==
The flag with 8 stars in a circle, and 5 stripes, is closer to the Confederate Stars and Bars (originally 7 stars and 3 stripes) than any incarnation of the U.S. flag (originally 13 stars and 13 stripes). I don't know whether this is worth remarking on the page. -- [[User:Caradhras|Caradhras]] 07:01, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

I think that would be worth posting on the page, so I say go ahead. Don't be afraid to post anything that you think is worth remarking on. {{User:Homestramy20/sig}} 07:07, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

:So I did, and it was immediately reverted. I thought the point of "remarks" was to point out something interesting. I wasn't claiming it was the same flag or that Homestar lives in the C.S.A., just pointing out what struck me as an interesting coincidence. Apparently someone else disagrees. -- [[User:Caradhras|Caradhras]] 05:05, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

''{Cut to a scene with The Homestar Runner, Fat Dudley and Old-Timey Marzipan, standing in a field. When voices speak, they are crackly and difficult to understand.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Let's make soup.

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN''': What type?

'''FAT DUDLEY''': ''{Flapping his hands and saying the words musically}'' Bo, bo bo bo bo, bo bo, bo bo!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Parsnip soup it is.

''{There are a few flashes and changes in position on the part of the characters, suggesting that several takes were required to get this scene right.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN''': Let's make soup!

''{Marzipan's image can be seen reflected in a long and complicated telescope, which the camera follows until it reveals Old-Timey Strong Bad on the other end, peering out. He puts it down, looking malicious.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': ''{Turning his head}'' Parsnip soup, eh? We'll make parsnip pie!

''{The camera cuts to a position from which you can see Old-Timey Strong Bad, The Sneak and Strong Man standing in front of some very badly drawn buildings. Dramatic music begins.}''

'''STRONG MAN''': ''{Flexing his arms}'' RRAAAAHH! ''{The dramatic music ends.}''

''{Cut to a scene with The Homestar Runner, Marzipan and Fat Dudley standing in front of the 'Parsnip Depot'. A sign on it reads, "No hobos!"}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': This must be the depot. ''{says it "Day-po"}''

''{The three of them go into the depot together.}''

''{Dramatic music plays. Old-Timey Strong Bad sticks his head out of the bottom of the fence.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': AHAHAHA!!

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad's head retreats. The music stops.}''

''{Cut to the Parsnip Depot counter. Old-Timey Bubs shakes a cup with three pencils in it.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN''': Parsnips, please.

'''OLD-TIMEY BUBS''': We're all out. ''{He shakes the cup again.}''

''{Cut briefly to a scene of many tables upturned, empty of parsnips. Cut to Marzipan's shocked expression, then to The Homestar Runner's.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{Speaking in a slow monotone}'' Where have all the parsnips gone?

'''FAT DUDLEY''': ''{Musically, waving his arms}'' Bo bo bo bo bo, bo bo, bo bo!

''{Cut to a scene showing Old-Timey Strong Bad, Strong Man and The Sneak pushing a wheelbarrow full of parsnips. The dramatic music plays once again.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': AHAHAHA!!

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner again.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{Doing a double take}'' Strong Bad!

''{Cut back to Old-Timey Strong Bad.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': ''{Brandishing a parsnip, and then throwing it away, while speaking dramatically}'' Now we'll have our parsnip pie, and The Homestar Runner will go hungry! It's curtains for you!

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner, looking confused. There is a short pause.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': What?

''{Cut once again to Old-Timey Strong Bad.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': ''{Brandishing an old-fashioned gun.}'' We'll have a duel!

''{Cut to The Homestar Runner, looking even more confused.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': What?

''{Fade out in the form of a black circle. We see Old-Timey Strong Bad and The Homestar Runner standing with their backs facing each other, Strong Man and The Sneak on the left side (Old-Timey Strong Bad's side) and Marzipan and Fat Dudley on the right (The Homestar Runner's side ).}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': Five paces, turn and fire!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{Sounding more confused than ever before}'' What?

''{Old-Timey Strong Bad starts walking away, but The Homestar Runner doesn't.}''

{''The sound of a record rewinding resonates briefly. The following text appears onscreen: (SCENE MISSING!)''}

''{An image appears of Old-Timey Strong Bad falling off a cliff. The word 'Cliff' is written on a sign at the top. His gun spirals after him.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': ''{Yelling in a monotone}'' AAAAHHHH!!

''{Cut to a scene with Old-Timey Marzipan, The Homestar Runner, Fat Dudley, Old-Timey Bubs, The Sneak and Strong Man standing at the former dueling grounds.}''

'''EVERYONE''': YAAAAAAY!!

'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD''': ''{Still falling}'' BOOOOOOO!!

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Now I'll do a dance.

''{The Homestar Runner does his trademark dance, to the trademark music. Fat Dudley flaps his hands and The Sneak moves his nose.}''

''{Once again, cut using the black circle, this time to a table with soup on it. Old-Timey Marzipan and The Homestar Runner can be seen sitting in front of the soup.}''

'''OLD-TIMEY MARZIPAN''': How's the soup?

''{The Homestar Runner eats a spoonful, gags twice, then spits it out all over Fat Dudley, who was evidently sitting off-camera. Soup pours down his head.}''

''{Cut to a scene of the door to the room.}''

'''SICKLY SAM''': ''{Emerging from the door. In a weak voice...}'' Can you spare any mush for me?

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{from off-camera}'' Sorry, Sickly Sam, I wish you'd leave us alone.

''{Sickly Sam silently sighs and disappears in a puff of smoke, to the sound of someone gasping for breath.}''

''{Cut back to The Homestar Runner.}''

'''THE HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Fat Dudley, you're all wet.

''{Fade out with the black circle once more, this time centering on The Homestar Runner's eye, which winks.}''

'''THE END'''

==Easter Eggs==
*At the end click on the "D" in "end" and it will show you Strong Bad in Hell with the Kaiser and the Devil.
:''{Old-Timey Strong Bad is in hell with the Kaiser (dressed as Satan) and the Devil.}''
:'''OLD-TIMEY STRONG BAD:''' Curses! I've gone to hell! How unfortunate!
*Then click on The Kaiser's head in the background and it will say "Buy U.S. Soup Bonds" in front of a faded picture of Old-Timey Homestar Runner wearing an army helmet, standing in front of the American Flag, with crumpled cans of soup on the ground around him. Note that there are only eight stars (in a circular pattern) and five stripes on the flag.

==Fun Facts==
===Trivia===
*Clicking "again" at the end actually reloads the html file instead of merely restarting the SWF. This is evident if you watch the SWF file; clicking "again" takes you to the HTML page.

===Remarks===
*Despite the fact that this film is "from" 1936, it is still a bit behind its time: The first color cartoon came out in 1932.

*The easter egg flag is closer to the original Confederate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_the_Confederate_States_of_America Stars and Bars] (which had a circle of 7 stars, and only 3 stripes) than any incarnation of the U.S. flag.

===Goofs===
*When Old-Timey Strong Bad is looking through the telescope, the image of Fat Dudley, The Homestar Runner, and Old-Timey Marzipan should be reversed.
*The Flash file for Parsnips A-Plenty is par'''ns'''ips.swf , while the page filename for Parsnips A-Plenty is par'''sn'''ips.html
*You can still click on the Kaiser's head when it says "Buy U.S. Soup Bonds". It is generally in the same spot as the Homestar Runner's helmet.
*While The Homestar Runner is doing a dance, Old-Timey Bubs' pencils are missing from the can he is holding.
*If you wait a while after the "Hell" Easter egg, the reel sound will stop and then the music.

===Inside References===
*The Strong Bad, Strong Man, and The Sneak stealing the parsnips in the wheelbarrow is reminiscent of the scene in [[The Reddest Radish]] where their 21st-century counterparts steal Marzipan's radish.

===Real-World References===
*"Buy U.S. Soup Bonds" is a reference to cartoons from World War II which frequently encouraged people to buy [http://militaryhistory.about.com/od/worldwari1/a/warbonds.htm War Bonds].
*The "scene missing" gag may be inspired by a near-identical scene in an episode of [[Wikipedia:Monty_Python%27s_Flying_Circus|Monty Python's Flying Circus]].

When searching a certain user, what does the 100%, or 92% or any other number mean? -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]

(I'd like that answer too) ^ [[User:Thunderbird L17|Thunderbird]] 08:52, 22 Oct 2004 (MST)

:It's how close a match MediaWiki thinks the page is to your search term.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:15, 22 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Wiki Troll ==

This is probably answered somewhere else, but I have to go out for the day, and I'm leaving in 5 minutes, so I'm just gonna ask and leave it with you. 142.177.97.77 added [[Little Girl]] to the reject characters page, with the whole page simply 'bum hole'. Does this constitute a Wiki Troll? If it does, what steps do I take to insure that this Troller of Wikis is brought to justice? Is there any sort of general system of protocols?

:The instructions for dealing with WikiTrolls can be found on the [[WikiTroll]] page. And I dealt with the situation. Thanks.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 16:15, 22 Oct 2004 (MST)

== Category Redirect not working? ==

I moved the content from the "[[Inside Jokes]]" to the [[:Category:Inside Jokes|category]] of the same name. (First I made sure all the inside jokes had references to this category.) Then I tried to redirect "Inside Jokes" to the category, but it's not redirecting! Am I a bad boy? -- [[User:spblat|spblat]] 18:18, 24 Oct 2004 (MST)

:Not so much. I'm not really sure the software will allow a redirect to a category, but its kind of a moot point in this situation. As noted correctly by [[User:The Paper]], content should be on a main namespace page, not a category namespace page. I do understand where you are coming from though. Several of the pages in [[:Category:Lists]] seem like they would be good candidates for just category pages. This is partly because of the way in which we use catagories around here and partly because of the way we list things. In fact, we actually kind of do something with the [[:Category:Filmography|filmographies]] like what I think you tried to do. I'm not really sure what I just said will make any sense, but just know that content should be on good 'ol regular pages.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:10, 24 Oct 2004 (MST)

:[[:Image:King Of Town Intro.png]]? I'm not really sure. Are you able to view the image on your computer okay? If so, then it's just a matter of knowing where on your computer it is located.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 23:20, 6 Nov 2004 (MST)

::No, I can't see it on my computer. -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]-[[User_Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

I kinda screwed up too. sorry, my first post. I uploded the level 7 stinkogame boss image twice, one that was too big to post, and one that was a little small but is now posted. can someone delete the bigger one? it should be right on top in the uploads logs. Thanks! [[User:Iggy|Iggy]][[User_Talk:Iggy|Talk]]

== Banned ==

Just out of curiosity, when a IP Address is banned, what does the page look like if that address trys to get back in? -- [[User:FireBird|FireBird]]|[[User Talk:FireBird|Talk]]

== Joining the Forum ==

Can someone help me? I never got my confirmation email. I joined as "bottles98" with the email address strong_bad@homestarrunner.us a couple of weeks ago (yes, that's my real email address, my friend registered homestarrunner.us as a domain name and gave me a mail address at it.) I use Yahoo! Mail which may be the problem, is there anyway an admin could maybe auto-confirm my account or something? I'd really appriciate it.

== Strong Bad hate mail ==

Please do tell me the names of all emails where Strong Bad was asked how he types with boxing gloves on. - Anonymous

:I hope you mean "''Please'' tell me all the emails where Strong Bad was asked how he types with boxing gloves on." And it won't be incredibly hard to find.

== Category Editing ==

I've been wanting to do some cleaning of the Category:Character Variations ... but when I go to edit it, the field for input only shows a tiny little bit of the page, not enough for me to work with. I swear to god that I have legitimately tried to figure this out on my own, but failed. Would someone please just let me in on whatever little secret I need to know? It's driving me mad.

If it has something to do with only super-duper Admins being able to edit these pages, could one of you please delegate the task of adding a new Dangeresque subcategory (if you deem it admissible)? It's been bugging me. But there is a distinict possibility that it is not there because it ''should'' not be there. I just need some closure. --[[User:Vannav|Vannav]] 23:21, 30 Nov 2004 (MST)

:When anyone edits a category page, the only thing available to edit is the text at the top of the page. The rest of the content is generated automagically by MediaWiki. That's how categories work. For example, [[:Category:Strong_Bad_Email]] only contains a short note at the top of the page regarding the emails. The actual content of the page (the actual links to the email pages) is generated by MediaWiki. Of course, a much better and more detailed explanation of how categories work can be found in the [[MetaWikiPedia:Help:Category|user's guide]].[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:20, 1 Dec 2004 (MST)

== The # character in page titles ==

Take a look at [[Special:Uncategorized Pages]]. Apparently there exist pages called "Kobe#1" and "Kobe#2" but whenever I try to get my browser to access these, it just loads [[Kobe]] (since the # character in a URL signifies an anchor identifier). I know that the pages are there and all different by entering "kobe" into the search, which shows that each of the three pages has a different number of bytes.

These pages should be moved by someone who can; also, # should be disallowed as a page title character if possible. [[User:Mister Mister|Mister Mister]] 07:50, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

:The "#" character [[HRWiki:Naming conventions (technical restrictions)#Excluded characters|is disallowed]]. The links for "Kobe#1" and "Kobe#2" both just link to the [[Kobe]] page. The "#" on each doesn't do anything in this situation because MediaWiki uses the # to link to sections, like with [[Strong Bad Email#Strong Bad Email Raps]]. Since there aren't sections for "1" and "2" on the Kobe page, the software just sends the user to the top of the page. To fix this, all you have to do is create pages like [[Kobe 1]] and [[Kobe 2]], move the content, fix [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Kobe the links to the page], and mark the [[Kobe]] page [[:Category:To be deleted|for deletion]]. No special [[privileges]] are needed.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:14, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)

::So what exactly are the three pages listed in [[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Special:Search?search=kobe&fulltext=Search]]? The second one seems to contain the text "Very similar [[Strong Mad]]'s character" which appears nowhere in [[Kobe]]. It looks to me like "Kobe#1" and "Kobe#2" somehow actually got into the database as separate pages. [[User:Mister Mister|Mister Mister]] 19:07, 5 Dec 2004 (MST)

:I think the existing [[Kobe]] page is sufficient for both characters. I've been trying to remove all #links to it to clear up the listing error. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 11:31, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)

:I think [[Kobe]] should be deleted and recreated. It should clean out all the database confusion. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 19:19, 5 Dec 2004 (MST)

::Okay, I tried a delete and then making the page again (from a copy and paste, not a restore or anything). That didn't seem to work, so I tried a delete, then I [http://hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Kobe&action=purge purged the page], then I made the page again, and that also didn't seem to work. Any other ideas? I guess I could manually go and edit the datebase if it comes to that.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 08:18, 6 Dec 2004 (MST)

== Images in wiki tables - front page ==

How did you guys manage to put the images inside the tables on the front page?

== Timeline? Dates? ==

OK, I've been searching HRWiki all morning and haven't found what i'm looking for. Is there recorded anywhere on this site the DATE each item (SB email, Toon, whatever) appeared on Homestar Runner Dot Com? I'm trying to work out a general timeline of how the site and the characters developed, inspired by an interview I read with the Brothers Chaps where they discussed the evolution of Strong Bad from the Bad Guy into a host/protagonist, etc. Any clues?

--jonathanjo

:No idea, but [[H*R.com updates]] will do it up untill January 5 ([[army]]). →''<tt>[[User:FireBird|FireBird]]</tt>''

== PNG? ==

Not to sound like a newb (hey, I checked through all the faqs like a good li'l MetaStar :) but why is this wiki anti-gif? Does it have to do with some well thought of software product (eg. server-side image munging software, imagemagick, et al) that has weak/no support for GIF's due to copyright stodginess, or simple protest of copyright fiascos, or afinity for things that PNG can do that GIF can't (eg. multilevel transparency unsupported in IE) or the general view that PNG's always pack smaller than gifs? (I know that in many cases GIF's pack smaller..) and/or just a call for consistency after considering that PNG's win most battles over GIF's?

If we allowed GIF's we might be able to upload nifty animated screenshots like this one http://www.lightsecond.com/metastar/metastar.php?page=sbe-100 :)

[[User:MetaStar|MetaStar]] 02:17, 15 Dec 2004 (MST)

:As far as I'm aware, GIFs have always been allowed (e.g. [[:Image:tear.gif]]). Are you having trouble uploading the image? If so, I'll be happy to try uploading it myself. [[User:JoeyDay|<nowiki></nowiki>]] —[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] [[User talk:JoeyDay|(Talk)]] 11:22, 20 Dec 2004 (MST)

::MediaWiki allows GIFs to be uploaded, but our [[HRWiki:Standards#Screenshot|image standards]] stress that PNG are better. I don't see a problem with using GIFs for animation use though, like [[:Image:tear.gif]].

==English English v. American English Spelling==
No Loafing and I are arguing about which should be used on the Fanstuff Wiki. No Loafing says that it should be American English (he changed all the "ou"s to "o"s) and English English isn't allowed, but I thought that it can be both. Is one form of English used, can we use both or is there no rule? {{User:Rainer/sig}}

:We dont' have [[Wikipedia:American and British English differences|this]] problem in the knowledgebase. From taking a quick look at the [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php/Talk:The_Golden_Star_Award talk page over there], it seems like an issue just between the two of you that you both need to resolve. Let me know how it goes.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:04, 18 Dec 2004 (MST)

I have had this problem on this Wiki. I prefer using British English on my edits, and constantly get people "fixing" my spelling. Since it hasn’t been said outright I believe that both are acceptable as long as one is consistent within an article. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 11:47, 22 Dec 2004 (MST)

:But suppose two articles are later merged, or one section is moved to another article? Having to check for consistency seems like a bigger nuisance than just preferring one spelling wiki-wide. I'd prefer an arbitrary dictum to either use international spellings or American spellings to allowing some mixture. [[User:Mister Mister|Mister Mister]] 12:18, 24 Dec 2004 (MST)

I agree that for the Knowledge Base, spelling should be the same for the whole article (or maybe the whole Knowledge Base). But for the Fanstuff Wiki, the place is for people's creations. If they choose to create a fanstuff item, it is their creation, not other people's (unless they allow it). The person who changes to "proper spelling" it would most likely be their first and only visit to that particular page. There is no reason at all to go searching (in the Fanstuff Wiki) for "colour" and "color".
A message to people who go out of their way, wasting time searching for so-called "spelling errors": American English isn't the only language.

:One thing I don't understand is this "their creation" business. Do people realize that they are adding content to a [[Wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]]? If people wanted to retain ownership and editing rights to their content, what were they thinking posting it on a wiki? Wikis are all about having content that can be edited by anybody.
:If people want ownership of pages, we should probably get rid of the fanstuff wiki and let them each get their own websites. If they don't mind other people editing their stories, then the fanstuff wiki might end up being a lot of fun -- everyone cooperating to write better and better fanstuff content.
:Anyway, that's how I see it.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:32, 28 Dec 2004 (MST)

It think this [[User_talk:69.92.100.220|might be a problem]] on the Wiki. My obvious preference is for International/British spelling as the Wiki is an international effort, but this is a community decision. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 13:51, 9 Jan 2005 (MST)

:Hmm... This is a tough one. For consistency's sake, we should have one spelling standard, and since H*R is an American site, the default should be American English. You raise a valid point, Dr. Haggis; the move to international spellings has some weight behind it, but I'm ultimately swayed by the fact that the H*R site itself features American spellings, and it would be inconsistent to transcribe Strong Bad's line as "colour" when he types "color," for example.
:As for 69.92.100.220's attitude, if s/he starts flaming you beyond the talk pages, someone should issue disciplinary action. Until then, just take comfort in the fact that you're more worldly and open-minded than some eleven-year-old who hadn't quite grasped the concept of "Foreign Lands." ;) --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 14:22, 9 Jan 2005 (MST)

::As much as I like consistency, I would never change British English spelling to American spelling on a page. There isn't a "correct" way of doing things in this regard. Though I still wouldn't want to have two sentences one right after the other with two different spellings for the same word.
::Of course, I'd imagine that some people may be ignorant of other ways of spelling things, and therefore just think a simple typo was made and feel the need to correct it. I hope we can be understanding of these people and politely explain to them, as Drhaggis did in this case, how British English is acceptable.
::However, I do not think ignorance is the case in respect to 69.98.100.220. I will leave him a note on his talk page, and if he continues to change spelling he will be dealt with accordingly.
::Oh, and by the way, 69.98.100.220 is ten years old, not eleven. His name is Nelson and he is registered as "No Loafing" on the Wiki and the forum.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:55, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)

== I don't understand the whole "community" thing. . . ==

If ANYONE can come on to this site and edit documents, why are they all well written with good grammar and punctuation? I thought that there would be a lot of "lol" "hahaha" and other Internet speech on here, but there isn't. Do some people come and edit the documents to make them readable? Or are people on the Internet smarter than I thought?

:That's a wonderful compliment to pay a Wiki; thanks! Yes, anyone can edit, but most of the people who return to the Wiki care enough about the site to make it as useful, professional, and polished as possible. The site isn't without its "Internet speech"; if you read through the personal spaces of users, you'll see quite a bit of it. But if it appears in an article, another editor will take it out fairly quickly. Several users monitor the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page to make sure that trolling and incomprehensible edits are removed. The moderators also do a wonderful job (er, a great jorb) of upholding the high [[HRWiki:Standards|standards]]. However (I don't have any statistics, so someone may contradict me on this), I've observed that most spelling errors and grammatic mistakes are corrected by first-time users or people who edit very rarely. So, perhaps there's yet`hope for intellectual integrity on the Internet! =) --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:42, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)

(specifically, the fact labeled "Ping" under the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/dreamail dreamail] heading.) Just to summarize what I've written on there, I thought that if I uploaded a clip from the song Echoes (which is under debate for this fact) temporarily to let people listen to it, this could help people who didn't want to vote due to not knowing enough about the song, or potentially change the votes of others. Any quick response would be greatly appreciated on this. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 21:13, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)

==Page Loading Bug==
I've been having problems opening up some pages on the wiki. This problem only happens on hrwiki.org and seemed to only happen after the server switch. Occassionally, when I try to open a page, I get a pop-up that says:

<pre>Opening [Page]

You have chosen to open
[Page]
which is a: application/octet-stream
from: http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/

What should Firefox do with this file?</pre>

Then I can choose to Open the page with a file, save the page to a disk, or cancel.
Opening it and downloading do seem to work, and cancelling doesn't help. After I get this message, the page in questing won't load for a while.

Strangely enough, the pages which are messed up seem to change on occassion, with previously messed up ones working and previously working ones messed up. Am I the only one with this problem? Can I fix it?
(P.S. It seems like this might be a Mozilla Firefox-only problem, but since I'm not allowed to go online with anything else, I wouldn't know.) --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 19:35, 16 Mar 2005 (MST)

== New Pages ==

This probably sounds stupid, but can non-admins create new pages? There are a few topics that don't have pages that could be on the site. Just wondering.

:The nice part about a wiki is that just about anybody can do just about anything. I myself am not an admin, but I've begun several pages. So if you think we need a new page, feel free to jump right in and create it.

:It's easy:
:#Up in the title bar, right after "index.php/", type the name of your new page. (Be sure to capitalize it how you think it should be, and include any appropriate punctuation (subject to the [[HRWiki:Naming conventions (technical restrictions)|naming restrictions]]).) You will be taken to a blank page.
:#Next, click on the "edit" tab at the top of the page. You're all set to write your content!
:#When you're just about done, click "Show preview" at the bottom.
:#Carefully look over your text, noting any problems with spelling, grammar, formatting, or broken links. Fix these as necessary, and click "Show preview" again.
:#Repeat the previous step until you think the page is ready to be published.
:#Finally, click "Save page" and voilà.

:If you haven't already, read the [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards]] page. You can also get a sense of the style by looking at the source code of other pages.

:If the page is useful, it will be kept and embraced by thousands of HRWiki-goers. (You should note, however, that it will be edited mercilessly. And if enough people don't think the new page is useful, it could be removed altogether. Not that it ''will'' be removed, mind you, but you should be aware of that going in.)

(Remember that the KoT and Yellow Dello toons were gone too when TBC were making DVD versions of them?) [[User:Kvb|Kvb]] 09:21, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

== Recent Changes Page ==

What exactly do all the little symbols on the Recent Changes page mean? (especially the red exclamation point) --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 11:11, 2 May 2005 (PDT)
:The ones I know of are that:
**The red exclimation mark signifies that the page is not patroled (meaning that no-one agreed to continallu watch the page)
**The m signoifies that the creator of the edit signifies that this is a minor edit
**The N signifies that this edit created a new page.
:Correct me if I'm wrong. -- <tt>Posted by: [[User:-erson|-erson]] [[User talk:-erson|Talk]]</tt> 18:15, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

:: The red exclamation point means the particular edit hasn't been "patrolled". To patrol any edit, click the "(diff)" link next to the edit on Recent changes and then click "Mark as patrolled" on the top right. By having a group of people patrol all the edits we can keep spam to a minimum. I recently started a [[HRWiki:Recent changes patrol|Recent changes patrol]] to help with this effort. If you're interested, please consider joining and helping out. [[User:JoeyDay|<nowiki></nowiki>]] —[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] [[User talk:JoeyDay|(Talk)]] 18:26, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

== Bitmap? ==

Um...you guys never mentioned this. Are bitmaps allowed? Just Wonderin' [[User:Technochocolate|Stongbah]]

:Yes we have mentioned it. It's in the [[HRWiki:Image use policy|Image use policy]], which clearly says "BMP formats are never desirable.". The filesize of BMPs are too big. PNG format is the best, good quality, and small filesize. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 06:21, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

I was wondering if an image is uploaded here is it possible to post it on the fanstuff wiki? And if there is an upload page on the fanstuff wiki? I've been looking for one for days. - [[User:Technochocolate|T.C.]]

...I've been waiting for a response a good while now... - [[User:Technochocolate|T.C.]]

Helloooo?

Are you gonna respond or am I gonna have to kick your ass?

== FAQ Reform ==

In case anyone wonders what I'm doing, I'm going down this talk page list and adding worthy questions to the main FAQ. We've got a good base of real-life questions here, so I'm working to make the FAQ a little more robust. I'm planning to add several questions and then break it into sections that make sense. If anyone feels like helping out, be my guest. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 15:36, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

:Well, I think I'm done. There were fewer questions than I thought there would be. Many of the "real-life" questions here are too specific for the main FAQ page. I'm a lot happier with the FAQ, and feel confident that more people will actually find the answer they're looking for there. Feel free to clean up after me if you think I did something stupid. Thanks. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:15, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

== New Main Page ==

I love the new main page, it's really spiffy and all, but I can't find a lot of the things I used to go to without having to use the search engine. Things like the WikiTroll page, the Sandbox, List of Users, STUFF, etc. are all kind of hard to find. Can I get some help here?--[[User:Because, It's Midnite|Because, It's Midnite]]

:I agree. It was good having all those wiki-related pages listed in the one spot. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 10:49, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

I don't like the change at all. I had to go through my watchlist to find the darn FAQ. The old page linked to all the important areas, but the new one wastes space with the updates and "?featured article?". What's that all about, anyway? Call me a reactionary, but I move for a revert. Of course, I doubt anyone will be able to find this page anytime soon, what with the confusing main page. --[[User:homestar3.14|homestar3.14]] 14:04, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

:The Stick lists those pages, which makes up for it a bit, but it's still hard to find those important pages. Of course, it's not a ''major'' problem, it's just harder. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 10:09, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

== Lists ==

How do you make those lists, like the ones on the bottom of all the Strong Bad Emails show the list of all the emails? -[[HRFWiki:User:Stinkoman K|Stinkoman K]]

:It's quite confusing to explain, actually. You should just be able to copy the whole list, then add what you want and delete the email names from the list you've copied. Make sense? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 19:38, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

:The list at the bottom of the Strong Bad Emails aren't really special - someone simply sat down and typed them all in (though it only went up to [[pizzaz]] when it was first started). The magic happens because they weren't typed into the bottom of each email, but rather into [[Template:Strong Bad Email]]. Then all you have to do is put <nowiki>{{Strong Bad Email}}</nowiki> at the bottom of each email to get the list. Magic because the list is [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|only in one place]], so when a new email comes out they just have to change the template and all the email pages are updated. --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 11:12, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

:The only things Dangeresque can be found in is [[stunt double]] and [[dangeresque 3]]. The email "stunt double" is "Dangeresque 2: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1" and the email "dangeresque 3" is the directors cut of "Dangeresque 1".

== Unofficially patrolling? ==

I was looking around The Stick, and I saw some things about the recent changes comittie, so i read them., I decided I'd try to patrol a page to see what it was like, so I did what it said, and it worked fine. My question is, couldn't someone write vandalism on a page and falsely patrol it, so that there i no exclamation point next to it? Sure, it would be found sooner or later, but I think you should somehow make it so that only people on the recent changes comittie can patrol pages, and make a small process to go through to get on the recent changes committie. Thanks - [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] (Sorry about the unsigned post, and i don't have those squiggly dashes on this comp)

:That's impossible- you can't strict patrolling edits to the committee. Only logged in users can patroll, though, and trolls usually don't create usernames. It doesn't happen to often that a patrolled edit is trolling without something done about it. I don't think you have to much to worry about. (Oh, and please sign your posts.) {{User:FireBird/sig}} 17:51, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I highly doubt that there's a way to restrict certain users to patrolling pages. I'm not a big fan of the patrolling thing, so I look at all recent edits regardless of patrolling. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 17:52, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:"Mark as partrolled" is hardly the be-all-and-end-all, most edits are seen by a lot of people both before and after someone actually clicks that button - the patrol is just one part of the community that keeps the wiki clean. {{User:phlip/sig}} 18:28, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

With all the screenshots from toons and games, how do you save them and upload them on? I can't just draw them myself. [[User:Amy Whifflepoof|Amy Whifflepoof]]
: If you're not using a Mac, there should be a button labeled "Print Screen" on your keyboard. (Or "prt sc" or the like.) Press this. Then open up the art program of your choice (Paint works, Photoshop works, whatever) and press Control-V (or Edit -> Paste). Trim whatever you don't want in the shot and you're finished. To my knowledge, Macs work a bit differently here, but it's been a long time since I used a Mac so I couldn't tell you. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:22, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I CAN!!!!!! Okay, to take a picture on a Mac, hold Command + Shift + 4 and your cursor should turn into a crosshair. Drag the cursor around the section that you want to take a picture of, and release it. Then, go to your Hard disk, and in it should be a file called "Picture 1", which is the picture you took. You can save it, rename it, whatever you want with it. But it maay not upload properly on the wiki, so if you have another site, upload it to your site and link to it from the wiki so ppl can see it. --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 02:55, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I've been trying to get my signature to have a little picture in it, but whenever I test it it doesn't come out as a link. Is there a way to make this work?

[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some[[Image:small_logo.png]]themed username]] [[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 01:44, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:You need to find out the URL of the image (which for the image you want is http://www.hrwiki.org/images/a/a6/small_logo.png), then externally link to the page you want (the full URL, which is for your userspace http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Some_HSR_themed_username). So just use this code: <code><nowiki>[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Some_HSR_themed_username http://www.hrwiki.org/images/a/a6/small_logo.png]</nowiki></code>. That'll put a little box with an arrow coming out icon, so you can put <code><nowiki><div class="boilerplate plainlinks"> </div></nowiki></code> around it, but that'll add an extra line (for some reason). {{User:Rainer/sig}} 01:54, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== If I upload a file, am I taking credit for it? ==

I don't know if I have been doing something wrong, but I don't think I did anything right either. Here's the story:

I was looking for an avatar, and I found this really great one, and it was made by another user. She said that if I wanted one, then I had to leave a message saying that I was going to use it. So I did, and I thought to make it my avatar, being brand new here, and not knowing anything about computers in the slightest, I should upload the file. Big mistake. It's now on my contribution page in my Fanstuff account, and now I think that I have accidently taken credit for the picture.

What does it mean when I put in an image and it says <pre>Missing Image:imagename.PNG</pre>-{{User:Gordon 584.sig}}

:The problem was that you had entered .png instead of .PNG. The software needs the correct file extension. Make sure the image entered inside the tags matches the uploaded images. --{{User:Venusy/Sig}}, 14:34, 10 August 2005 (BST)

== Just not so great at English ==

Hey,

I have a few questions about the wiki/fan page.
My English is, because I'm Dutch and 15 years old, very crappy.
I've made two HR-related drawings, and I would like to show them on the fan page. Do I have to sign up to do that? And if so, where can I do that? If you want to show an image, does it have to be already uploaded somewhere on the internet?
And my last question, are there more Dutch fans around here ;-) HR is totally unknown in Holland.

Grz, Henrieke

:Hi there Grz. Just [[HRFWiki:Special:Userlogin|create an account]] on the [[HRFWiki:Main Page|Fanstuff Wiki]] and then you'll be able to [[HRFWiki:Special:Upload|upload images]] there. The images you upload need not be on the Internet, you can upload them straight from your computer. As for Dutch people, after a quick serach I found that [[User:King Nintendoid]] says he is Dutch on his userpage.

To make a link to another page, do I just copy its contents onto the edit page?

:To make a link, all you need to know is the title of the page you want to link to. Let's say you want to link to [[Homestar Runner]]). You'd make the link using the following code: <code><nowiki>[[Homestar Runner]]</nowiki></code>.

I REALLY think we need to archive this page. It's too long to edit (some browsers may have problems editing pages over 30 kilobytes long). And by the way, when I go to http://old.hrwiki.org it just says:

:Not so much. I'm not really sure the software will allow a redirect to a category, but its kind of a moot point in this situation. As noted correctly by [[User:The Paper]], content should be on a main namespace page, not a category namespace page. I do understand where you are coming from though. Several of the pages in [[:Category:Lists]] seem like they would be good candidates for just category pages. This is partly because of the way in which we use catagories around here and partly because of the way we list things. In fact, we actually kind of do something with the [[:Category:Filmography|filmographies]] like what I think you tried to do. I'm not really sure what I just said will make any sense, but just know that content should be on good 'ol regular pages.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 19:10, 24 Oct 2004 (MST)

:When anyone edits a category page, the only thing available to edit is the text at the top of the page. The rest of the content is generated automagically by MediaWiki. That's how categories work.

== The # character in page titles ==

Take a look at [[Special:Uncategorized Pages]]. Apparently there exist pages called "Kobe#1" and "Kobe#2" but whenever I try to get my browser to access these, it just loads [[Kobe]] (since the # character in a URL signifies an anchor identifier). I know that the pages are there and all different by entering "kobe" into the search, which shows that each of the three pages has a different number of bytes.

These pages should be moved by someone who can; also, # should be disallowed as a page title character if possible. [[User:Mister Mister|Mister Mister]] 07:50, 2 Dec 2004 (MST)

:The "#" character [[HRWiki:Naming conventions (technical restrictions)#Excluded characters|is disallowed]]. The links for "Kobe#1" and "Kobe#2" both just link to the [[Kobe]] page. The "#" on each doesn't do anything in this situation because MediaWiki uses the # to link to sections, like with [[Strong Bad Email#Strong Bad Email Raps]]. Since there aren't sections for "1" and "2" on the Kobe page, the software just sends the user to the top of the page. To fix this, all you have to do is create pages like [[Kobe 1]] and [[Kobe 2]], move the content, fix [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Kobe the links to the page], and mark the [[Kobe]] page [[:Category:To be deleted|for deletion]].

== PNG? ==

Not to sound like a newb (hey, I checked through all the faqs like a good li'l MetaStar :) but why is this wiki anti-gif? Does it have to do with some well thought of software product (eg. server-side image munging software, imagemagick, et al) that has weak/no support for GIF's due to copyright stodginess, or simple protest of copyright fiascos, or afinity for things that PNG can do that GIF can't (eg. multilevel transparency unsupported in IE) or the general view that PNG's always pack smaller than gifs? (I know that in many cases GIF's pack smaller..) and/or just a call for consistency after considering that PNG's win most battles over GIF's?

If we allowed GIF's we might be able to upload nifty animated screenshots like this one http://www.lightsecond.com/metastar/metastar.php?page=sbe-100 :)

==English English v. American English Spelling==
No Loafing and I are arguing about which should be used on the Fanstuff Wiki. No Loafing says that it should be American English (he changed all the "ou"s to "o"s) and English English isn't allowed, but I thought that it can be both. Is one form of English used, can we use both or is there no rule? {{User:Rainer/sig}}

:We dont' have [[Wikipedia:American and British English differences|this]] problem in the knowledgebase. From taking a quick look at the [http://fanstuff.hrwiki.org/index.php/Talk:The_Golden_Star_Award talk page over there], it seems like an issue just between the two of you that you both need to resolve. Let me know how it goes.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 18:04, 18 Dec 2004 (MST)

I have had this problem on this Wiki. I prefer using British English on my edits, and constantly get people "fixing" my spelling. Since it hasn’t been said outright I believe that both are acceptable as long as one is consistent within an article. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 11:47, 22 Dec 2004 (MST)

:But suppose two articles are later merged, or one section is moved to another article? Having to check for consistency seems like a bigger nuisance than just preferring one spelling wiki-wide. I'd prefer an arbitrary dictum to either use international spellings or American spellings to allowing some mixture. [[User:Mister Mister|Mister Mister]] 12:18, 24 Dec 2004 (MST)

I agree that for the Knowledge Base, spelling should be the same for the whole article (or maybe the whole Knowledge Base). But for the Fanstuff Wiki, the place is for people's creations. If they choose to create a fanstuff item, it is their creation, not other people's (unless they allow it). The person who changes to "proper spelling" it would most likely be their first and only visit to that particular page. There is no reason at all to go searching (in the Fanstuff Wiki) for "colour" and "color".
A message to people who go out of their way, wasting time searching for so-called "spelling errors": American English isn't the only language. You may be able to name some other countries that use American English in defence, but English English spelling is used in many countries as well. {{User:Rainer/sig}}
:One thing I don't understand is this "their creation" business. Do people realize that they are adding content to a [[Wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]]? If people wanted to retain ownership and editing rights to their content, what were they thinking posting it on a wiki? Wikis are all about having content that can be edited by anybody.
:If people want ownership of pages, we should probably get rid of the fanstuff wiki and let them each get their own websites.

It think this [[User_talk:69.92.100.220|might be a problem]] on the Wiki. My obvious preference is for International/British spelling as the Wiki is an international effort, but this is a community decision. [[User:Drhaggis|<nowiki></nowiki>]]- [[User:Drhaggis|Dr Haggis]] - [[User talk: Drhaggis|Talk]] 13:51, 9 Jan 2005 (MST)

:Hmm... This is a tough one. For consistency's sake, we should have one spelling standard, and since H*R is an American site, the default should be American English. You raise a valid point, Dr. Haggis; the move to international spellings has some weight behind it, but I'm ultimately swayed by the fact that the H*R site itself features American spellings, and it would be inconsistent to transcribe Strong Bad's line as "colour" when he types "color," for example.
:As for 69.92.100.220's attitude, if s/he starts flaming you beyond the talk pages, someone should issue disciplinary action. Until then, just take comfort in the fact that you're more worldly and open-minded than some eleven-year-old who hadn't quite grasped the concept of "Foreign Lands." ;) --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 14:22, 9 Jan 2005 (MST)

::As much as I like consistency, I would never change British English spelling to American spelling on a page. There isn't a "correct" way of doing things in this regard. Though I still wouldn't want to have two sentences one right after the other with two different spellings for the same word.
::Of course, I'd imagine that some people may be ignorant of other ways of spelling things, and therefore just think a simple typo was made and feel the need to correct it. I hope we can be understanding of these people and politely explain to them, as Drhaggis did in this case, how British English is acceptable.
::However, I do not think ignorance is the case in respect to 69.98.100.220. I will leave him a note on his talk page, and if he continues to change spelling he will be dealt with accordingly.
::Oh, and by the way, 69.98.100.220 is ten years old, not eleven. His name is Nelson and he is registered as "No Loafing" on the Wiki and the forum.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 09:55, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)

== I don't understand the whole "community" thing. . . ==

If ANYONE can come on to this site and edit documents, why are they all well written with good grammar and punctuation? I thought that there would be a lot of "lol" "hahaha" and other Internet speech on here, but there isn't. Do some people come and edit the documents to make them readable? Or are people on the Internet smarter than I thought?

:That's a wonderful compliment to pay a Wiki; thanks! Yes, anyone can edit, but most of the people who return to the Wiki care enough about the site to make it as useful, professional, and polished as possible. The site isn't without its "Internet speech"; if you read through the personal spaces of users, you'll see quite a bit of it. But if it appears in an article, another editor will take it out fairly quickly. Several users monitor the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page to make sure that trolling and incomprehensible edits are removed. The moderators also do a wonderful job (er, a great jorb) of upholding the high [[HRWiki:Standards|standards]]. However (I don't have any statistics, so someone may contradict me on this), I've observed that most spelling errors and grammatic mistakes are corrected by first-time users or people who edit very rarely. So, perhaps there's yet`hope for intellectual integrity on the Internet! =) --[[User:FortyTwo|FortyTwo]] 21:42, 10 Jan 2005 (MST)

:Also, I found that by allowing universal editibility, it will reduce the use of such jargon because they feel obligated to show a good example.

== Concerning an upload ==

This is a question directed toward the mods, but could I have permission to temporarily upload an mp3 for the purposes of maybe clearing up the voting on a fun fact in STUFF. (specifically, the fact labeled "Ping" under the [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/dreamail dreamail] heading.) Just to summarize what I've written on there, I thought that if I uploaded a clip from the song Echoes (which is under debate for this fact) temporarily to let people listen to it, this could help people who didn't want to vote due to not knowing enough about the song, or potentially change the votes of others. Any quick response would be greatly appreciated on this. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 21:13, 23 Jan 2005 (MST)

Are you allowed to upload music to the wiki? If so, do I just upload it where it says to upload images? If not, why not? I've captured all the mini-songs on the sites from the toons and emails and I want to put them up on the wiki. I know it says you can upload sounds, but I'm wondering if that's only limited to sounds and not music. Also, I have no idea what an OGG format is? Is it for Macs or something?

If it helps answer the question, this started the exact same day the quality 3d games on the net started to decrease. (EX. miniclip.com robot rage and crimson viper.)AND I also have a 4 vga card, which is pretty suprising that those 3d games were good quality anyway. Plus I just got dsl, which, for some reason, has an antennae and a wire to go in the phone jack. PLEASE REPLY!!!

==Page Loading Bug==
I've been having problems opening up some pages on the wiki. This problem only happens on hrwiki.org and seemed to only happen after the server switch. Occassionally, when I try to open a page, I get a pop-up that says:

<pre>Opening [Page]

You have chosen to open
[Page]
which is a: application/octet-stream
from: http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/

What should Firefox do with this file?</pre>

Then I can choose to Open the page with a file, save the page to a disk, or cancel.
Opening it and downloading do seem to work, and cancelling doesn't help. After I get this message, the page in questing won't load for a while.

Strangely enough, the pages which are messed up seem to change on occassion, with previously messed up ones working and previously working ones messed up. Am I the only one with this problem? Can I fix it?
(P.S. It seems like this might be a Mozilla Firefox-only problem, but since I'm not allowed to go online with anything else, I wouldn't know.) --[[User:Joshua|Joshua]] 19:35, 16 Mar 2005 (MST)

== New Pages ==

This probably sounds stupid, but can non-admins create new pages? There are a few topics that don't have pages that could be on the site. Just wondering.

:The nice part about a wiki is that just about anybody can do just about anything. I myself am not an admin, but I've begun several pages. So if you think we need a new page, feel free to jump right in and create it.

:It's easy:
:#Up in the title bar, right after "index.php/", type the name of your new page. (Be sure to capitalize it how you think it should be, and include any appropriate punctuation (subject to the [[HRWiki:Naming conventions (technical restrictions)|naming restrictions]]).) You will be taken to a blank page.
:#Next, click on the "edit" tab at the top of the page. You're all set to write your content!
:#When you're just about done, click "Show preview" at the bottom.
:#Carefully look over your text, noting any problems with spelling, grammar, formatting, or broken links. Fix these as necessary, and click "Show preview" again.
:#Repeat the previous step until you think the page is ready to be published.
:#Finally, click "Save page" and voilà.

:If you haven't already, read the [[HRWiki:Standards|Standards]] page. You can also get a sense of the style by looking at the source code of other pages.

:If the page is useful, it will be kept and embraced by thousands of HRWiki-goers. (You should note, however, that it will be edited mercilessly. And if enough people don't think the new page is useful, it could be removed altogether. Not that it ''will'' be removed, mind you, but you should be aware of that going in.)

What exactly do all the little symbols on the Recent Changes page mean? (especially the red exclamation point) --[[User:TheRealZajac|The Real Zajac]] 11:11, 2 May 2005 (PDT)
:The ones I know of are that:
**The red exclimation mark signifies that the page is not patroled (meaning that no-one agreed to continallu watch the page)
**The m signoifies that the creator of the edit signifies that this is a minor edit
**The N signifies that this edit created a new page.
:Correct me if I'm wrong. -- <tt>Posted by: [[User:-erson|-erson]] [[User talk:-erson|Talk]]</tt> 18:15, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

:: The red exclamation point means the particular edit hasn't been "patrolled". To patrol any edit, click the "(diff)" link next to the edit on Recent changes and then click "Mark as patrolled" on the top right. By having a group of people patrol all the edits we can keep spam to a minimum. I recently started a [[HRWiki:Recent changes patrol|Recent changes patrol]] to help with this effort. If you're interested, please consider joining and helping out. [[User:JoeyDay|<nowiki></nowiki>]] —[[User:JoeyDay|JoeyDay]] [[User talk:JoeyDay|(Talk)]] 18:26, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

== Bitmap? ==

Um...you guys never mentioned this. Are bitmaps allowed? Just Wonderin' [[User:Technochocolate|Stongbah]]

:Yes we have mentioned it. It's in the [[HRWiki:Image use policy|Image use policy]], which clearly says "BMP formats are never desirable.". The filesize of BMPs are too big. PNG format is the best, good quality, and small filesize. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 06:21, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

== FAQ Reform ==

In case anyone wonders what I'm doing, I'm going down this talk page list and adding worthy questions to the main FAQ. We've got a good base of real-life questions here, so I'm working to make the FAQ a little more robust. I'm planning to add several questions and then break it into sections that make sense. If anyone feels like helping out, be my guest. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 15:36, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

:Well, I think I'm done. There were fewer questions than I thought there would be. Many of the "real-life" questions here are too specific for the main FAQ page. I'm a lot happier with the FAQ, and feel confident that more people will actually find the answer they're looking for there. Feel free to clean up after me if you think I did something stupid. Thanks. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 17:15, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

== New Main Page ==

I love the new main page, it's really spiffy and all, but I can't find a lot of the things I used to go to without having to use the search engine. Things like the WikiTroll page, the Sandbox, List of Users, STUFF, etc. are all kind of hard to find. Can I get some help here?--[[User:Because, It's Midnite|Because, It's Midnite]]

:I agree. It was good having all those wiki-related pages listed in the one spot. {{User:Rainer/sig}} 10:49, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

I don't like the change at all. I had to go through my watchlist to find the darn FAQ. The old page linked to all the important areas, but the new one wastes space with the updates and "?featured article?". What's that all about, anyway? Call me a reactionary, but I move for a revert. Of course, I doubt anyone will be able to find this page anytime soon, what with the confusing main page. --[[User:homestar3.14|homestar3.14]] 14:04, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

== Lists ==

How do you make those lists, like the ones on the bottom of all the Strong Bad Emails show the list of all the emails? -[[HRFWiki:User:Stinkoman K|Stinkoman K]]

:It's quite confusing to explain, actually. You should just be able to copy the whole list, then add what you want and delete the email names from the list you've copied. Make sense? {{User:FireBird/sig}} 19:38, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

:The list at the bottom of the Strong Bad Emails aren't really special - someone simply sat down and typed them all in (though it only went up to [[pizzaz]] when it was first started). The magic happens because they weren't typed into the bottom of each email, but rather into [[Template:Strong Bad Email]]. Then all you have to do is put <nowiki>{{Strong Bad Email}}</nowiki> at the bottom of each email to get the list. Magic because the list is [[HRWiki:Once And Only Once|only in one place]], so when a new email comes out they just have to change the template and all the email pages are updated. --[[User:phlip|phlip]] 11:12, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

:The only things Dangeresque can be found in is [[stunt double]] and [[dangeresque 3]]. The email "stunt double" is "Dangeresque 2: This Time, It's Not Dangeresque 1" and the email "dangeresque 3" is the directors cut of "Dangeresque 1".

== Unofficially patrolling? ==

I was looking around The Stick, and I saw some things about the recent changes comittie, so i read them., I decided I'd try to patrol a page to see what it was like, so I did what it said, and it worked fine. My question is, couldn't someone write vandalism on a page and falsely patrol it, so that there i no exclamation point next to it? Sure, it would be found sooner or later, but I think you should somehow make it so that only people on the recent changes comittie can patrol pages, and make a small process to go through to get on the recent changes committie. Thanks - [[User:Ju Ju Master|Ju Ju Master]] (Sorry about the unsigned post, and i don't have those squiggly dashes on this comp)

:That's impossible- you can't strict patrolling edits to the committee. Only logged in users can patroll, though, and trolls usually don't create usernames. It doesn't happen to often that a patrolled edit is trolling without something done about it. I don't think you have to much to worry about. (Oh, and please sign your posts.) {{User:FireBird/sig}} 17:51, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:I highly doubt that there's a way to restrict certain users to patrolling pages. I'm not a big fan of the patrolling thing, so I look at all recent edits regardless of patrolling. <tt>[[User:Homestar Coder|Aurora the Homestar Coder]]</tt> 17:52, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:"Mark as partrolled" is hardly the be-all-and-end-all, most edits are seen by a lot of people both before and after someone actually clicks that button - the patrol is just one part of the community that keeps the wiki clean. {{User:phlip/sig}} 18:28, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

With all the screenshots from toons and games, how do you save them and upload them on? I can't just draw them myself. [[User:Amy Whifflepoof|Amy Whifflepoof]]
: If you're not using a Mac, there should be a button labeled "Print Screen" on your keyboard. (Or "prt sc" or the like.) Press this. Then open up the art program of your choice (Paint works, Photoshop works, whatever) and press Control-V (or Edit -> Paste). Trim whatever you don't want in the shot and you're finished. To my knowledge, Macs work a bit differently here, but it's been a long time since I used a Mac so I couldn't tell you. --{{User:Jay/sig}} 03:22, 4 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I CAN!!!!!! Okay, to take a picture on a Mac, hold Command + Shift + 4 and your cursor should turn into a crosshair. Drag the cursor around the section that you want to take a picture of, and release it. Then, go to your Hard disk, and in it should be a file called "Picture 1", which is the picture you took. You can save it, rename it, whatever you want with it. But it maay not upload properly on the wiki, so if you have another site, upload it to your site and link to it from the wiki so ppl can see it. --{{User:Darklinkskywalker/DLSsignature}} 02:55, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

I've been trying to get my signature to have a little picture in it, but whenever I test it it doesn't come out as a link. Is there a way to make this work?

[[User:Some HSR themed username|Some[[Image:small_logo.png]]themed username]] [[User:Some HSR themed username|Some HSR themed username]] 01:44, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:You need to find out the URL of the image (which for the image you want is http://www.hrwiki.org/images/a/a6/small_logo.png), then externally link to the page you want (the full URL, which is for your userspace http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Some_HSR_themed_username). So just use this code: <code><nowiki>[http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/User:Some_HSR_themed_username http://www.hrwiki.org/images/a/a6/small_logo.png]</nowiki></code>. That'll put a little box with an arrow coming out icon, so you can put <code><nowiki><div class="boilerplate plainlinks"> </div></nowiki></code> around it, but that'll add an extra line (for some reason). {{User:Rainer/sig}} 01:54, 5 Jul 2005 (UTC)

== If I upload a file, am I taking credit for it? ==

I don't know if I have been doing something wrong, but I don't think I did anything right either. Here's the story:

I was looking for an avatar, and I found this really great one, and it was made by another user. She said that if I wanted one, then I had to leave a message saying that I was going to use it. So I did, and I thought to make it my avatar, being brand new here, and not knowing anything about computers in the slightest, I should upload the file. Big mistake. It's now on my contribution page in my Fanstuff account, and now I think that I have accidently taken credit for the picture.

I have a few questions about the wiki/fan page.
My English is, because I'm Dutch and 15 years old, very crappy.
I've made two HR-related drawings, and I would like to show them on the fan page. Do I have to sign up to do that? And if so, where can I do that? If you want to show an image, does it have to be already uploaded somewhere on the internet?
And my last question, are there more Dutch fans around here ;-) HR is totally unknown in Holland.

Grz, Henrieke

:Hi there Grz. Just [[HRFWiki:Special:Userlogin|create an account]] on the [[HRFWiki:Main Page|Fanstuff Wiki]] and then you'll be able to [[HRFWiki:Special:Upload|upload images]] there. The images you upload need not be on the Internet, you can upload them straight from your computer. As for Dutch people, after a quick serach I found that [[User:King Nintendoid]] says he is Dutch on his userpage. Good luck.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 15:30, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Help! ==

My cousin was posing as the brothers chaps on the forums a while ago and he got my IP banned! Could I please be unbanned?
- [[User:Shadow|Shadow]] 23:27, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)

:Sorry, Shadow93, but it was your fault you got banned. You wouldn't stop after InterruptorJones told you to. For that, you got banned. Shame. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 23:32, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)

But it wasn't me! my cousin was over and he went on my computer! he just told me what he did now!

:Sorry, but the answer is still no. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 23:36, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Well is there any way i can contact the webmaster to sort this out?

:You could ask [[User:InterruptorJones|InterruptorJones]], who banned you. Try [[Special:Emailuser/InterruptorJones|e-mailing]] him. {{User:FireBird/sig}} 23:40, 13 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Trouble Finding Pages ==

Ever since the Main Page changed, I've been having trouble finding pages, such as the list of users, the [[Hrwiki:WikiTroll|WikiTroll]] page, and the [[HRWiki:Welcoming committee|Welcoming Committee]] page. I try to search for it, but I get no results. And now I have to either Google it or go to the History part of the page and click on the page. Can anyone tell me how to go to the pages not listed on the main page without using the search? [[User:Happy|Happy]] 20:07, 13 Aug 2005 (EST)

:Check out [[HRWiki:The Stick]], the second link in the navigation menu. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 00:12, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Homestar Dresser ==

On the HomestarDresser Fanstuff Game ( http://www.deviantart.com/view/2810064/ ) Is there any way to save what you made into an image? [[User:Shadow|Shadow]]

:I'd imagine that since the game is done in Flash, the only way would be to take a [[Wikipedia:Screenshot|screenshot]]. If you have any other questions, it is probably best to direct them to the maintainer of the game.[[User:Tom|<nowiki></nowiki>]] -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 21:16, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)

::You could look [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/HRWiki_talk:FAQ#How_do_you_make_a_snapshot.3F here] for how to make a snapshot, if you don't know how.--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 21:27, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)

=== How to make links ===
To make a link to another page, do I just copy its contents onto the edit page?

:To make a link, all you need to know is the title of the page you want to link to. Let's say you want to link to [[Homestar Runner]]). You'd make the link using the following code: <code><nowiki>[[Homestar Runner]]</nowiki></code>. You can learn more about how to format things in wiki code by reading the [[Help:Editing#The_wiki_markup|wiki markup]] section on the Help:Editing page. Hope this helps. — {{User:JoeyDay/sig}} 19:31, 24 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Archive ==
I REALLY think we need to archive this page. It's too long to edit (some browsers may have problems editing pages over 30 kilobytes long). And by the way, when I go to http://old.hrwiki.org it just says:

<pre>

== Replacing an Image ==

How do you replace an Image that is already in existance? Like, to resize it or something?--{{User:bkmlb/sig}} 18:32, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)
:You name the image the exact same title (including uppercase and lowercase PNG/png) that is on the wiki. A much nicer way to replace images, I've found. —[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 18:34, 28 Aug 2005 (UTC)

== Links using images ==

I asked this question on [[User_talk:RJMT#Link_using_images|my talk page]]. Just read my talk page under the "your sig" section, but read the part starting from the "I have another question" part. Basically, I want to link a picture on my sig from [http://clpic.newark.rutgers.edu/Portuguese/images/Speaker.gif here] or [[:Image:Speaker.gif|uploaded on here]] to my talk page.

Add <code><nowiki> ... </nowiki></code> before and after the above code to remove the arrow (look at the source code of my sig below if that's not clear).

== changing an image's size ==

exacly how do i do that because if you look at my user page you can see that the right h*r logo is not totally by the edge. so i need to make the picture of the cheat smaller. can you tell me how to do this?

:::True, True... {{User:Rogue Leader/sig}} 22:47, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

::::I doubt they would have an account. If they ever tried to fix something obscure (like a weird reference), it would probably be reverted as "speculation." If TBC insisted, they would then have to identify themselves, which then either no one would believe them or they would be pestered to no end with crazy questions and suggestions for the site. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised if they had fixed something minor here and there anonymously. — [[User:It's dot com|It's dot com]] 03:57, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD''':''{singing}'' Oh, here comes little e-mail, with a gun in his hand...

''{reading}''
<blockquote class="email">hi there strong bad, 
 
i was just wondering, when is dangeresque 3 comeing out? 
 
yours truly, 
john newell, on</blockquote>

''{Strong Bad pronounces "comeing" as it is written (replete with spelling mistake), viz. "koh-may-ing." He also pronounces "john newell, on" (Ontario) as "johnny well, on."}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Whoa. I left my Johnny Well on. ''{He deletes "on" and types "off."}'' Johnny Well: off. ''{We hear the sound of a large machine powering down.}'' Man! Peoples won't leave me alone about this one. ''{typing}'' Okay, okay, okay, okay. Dangeresque 3 production update! Day 114: Things are comeing ''{again pronounced "koh-may-ing"}'' along right on schedule. So far, we seem to have only hit one major snag. Um, and that is I haven't um, ''{as he types, the text gets smaller}'' made Dangeresque 3 yet. ''{text size returns to normal}'' But, before you start throwing full wine bottles at your computer screen, let me offer this as a cop-out: the digitally remastered director's cut of: ''Dangeresque 1: Dangeresque, too?''

''{We cut to Strong Bad wearing his Dangeresque glasses, sitting in the Gremlin, pretending to drive and humming the Dangeresque theme tune. The Cheat repeatedly runs by in the background holding a small tree to give the impression of movement. A sign is held up in front of the camera, moving around a little, reading: Dangeresque 1: "Dangeresque, Too?" followed by another, reading "Not in 3-D."}''

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{He makes telephone ringing noises.}'' Oh, my car phone. {''He picks up a VCR with a phone cord coming out of it.''} You got Dangeresque. Who this is?

''{Cut to Coach Z in his Renaldo costume. He is looking straight at the camera.}''

'''COACH Z''': Now?

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{whispering, off-screen}'' Yeah, go, go.

'''COACH Z''': ''{He turns away from the camera and holds an unplugged phone receiver up to his ear.}'' Dangeresque, it's Renaldo. I need you back here away, right? I mean, right away.

'''STRONG BAD''': ''{off-screen}'' Uh, I'm in a car right now, but I can drive it to the office.

'''COACH Z''': Sounds like a plan. ''{turns back to the camera}'' How was tha—

''{Cut to Strong Bad in his car.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Hang on, car phone! Get ready for some fancy driving!

''{Strong Bad makes the sound of a car squealing around corners while the camera moves left to make it seem as if he's moving forwards. One of the Gremlin's hubcaps rolls from the left of the screen. We then cut to the office. Strong Bad opens the door and walks in.}''

'''COACH Z''': What took you so long?

'''STRONG BAD''': Oh, I had to swing by Cool Weapons Surplus for a new nunchaku gun. ''{He holds up a gun with nunchakus taped to it.}'' And a Reesy Cup milkshake. ''{He holds up a milkshake cup with "Reesy Cup" printed on it.}''

'''COACH Z''': Well, anyways, I called you in to meet your new partner: Dangeresque, too?

''{The camera pans right to Homestar Runner, wearing sunglasses.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': The name's Dangeresque. Nice to meet ya.

'''STRONG BAD''': Whaaa?

'''COACH Z''': Dangeresque!

'''STRONG BAD''': Yeah? 
'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': What? ''{simultaneously}''

''{They both turn and glare at each other to the accompaniment of a shock riff made by Strong Bad over the top.}''

'''COACH Z''': Perducci's intercepted the serum at the border! ''{He holds up the newspaper from Stunt Double, this time with a taped-on headline reading "PERDUCCI IS THE BAD GUY."}'' If that serum doesn't make it through, they'll kidnap Cutesy Buttons!

'''STRONG BAD & HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{shaking fists}'' Perducci!

''{Cut to Homestar and Strong Bad playing racquetball in the basement (with Strong Bad's rendition of the Dangeresque theme tune as an accompaniment). Homestar serves the ball and they play a frantic volley, which ends when Strong Bad nearly hits Homestar's head with the ball.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': ''{He removes his sunglasses.}'' What is your malfunction?

'''STRONG BAD''': Let's get one thing straight, meatball...face...butt: I work alone. 'Cept when I work with Renaldo...which is all the time.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh yeah? Well, you need me because I'm the only one that knows where Perducci is, and where that is is that he is...in...Istanbul.

'''STRONG BAD''': Istanbul! Of course!

''{Blackout fade to an expanse of meadow in Free Country, USA, with a musical interlude from Strong Bad. Homestar Runner and Strong Bad are standing next to The Cheat, who is wearing a sign saying "Istanbul."}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Perducci's got to be here around in Istanbul somewhere.

'''STRONG BAD''': I hope you're right. We’ve got to get that serum through...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Let's ask this passers-by.

''{Strong Sad walks by, holding a sandwich.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': What do you know about Perducci, doughboy?

'''STRONG SAD''': Ugh, I told you guys already I'm not going to be in your stupid movie!

''{The frame "jumps." Same shot, but now Strong Bad is holding Strong Sad's sandwich.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': What do you know about Perducci?

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{reluctantly}'' Only that I am not one of his minions.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Well, thanks anyways. Move it along, hot tub!

''{Strong Sad walks out.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': That stranger seemed to know a little bit too little about Perducci...

''{With another musical interlude, blackout fade to Strong Sad and the King of Town (who is silhouetted), on top of Bubs' Concession Stand. The King of Town is wearing a bowler hat.}''

'''KING OF TOWN''': What? Two Dangeresques? ''{He turns to the camera, revealing that he is wearing a blue coat, sunglasses and a name-tag reading "Hello, my name is perducci."}'' Well, they'll still be no match for my secret weapon!

''{Cut to a silhouetted Strong Mad, whose gleaming white eyes are the only visible feature of his body. Strong Bad makes a scary tune over the top, then sings the first two notes of the Dangeresque theme song as we cut to Homestar Runner and Strong Bad standing on top of a large piece of cardboard made up to look like a tall building, holding a horizontal rope. The frame "jumps" again to the same shot, but rotated ninety degrees so that it looks as if the Dangeresques are climbing the building.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Once we get to the top of this high-scraper, we'll hopefully be able to throw some people off. Maybe even Perducci.

''{They continue to "climb." As Homestar's glasses fall onto the cardboard, we quickly cut to the top of the Concession Stand, where the Dangeresques meet the King of Town.}''

'''KING OF TOWN''': Dangeresque!

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Yeah? 
'''STRONG BAD''': What? ''{simultaneously}''

'''KING OF TOWN''': Allow me to introduce you to both my secret weapon and your doom: Killingyouguy!

''{Strong Mad appears, raising his arms menacingly. The M on his singlet has been replaced with "KILLINGYOUGUY" and two post-its with a bullet hole and a scar drawn on have been stuck to his face. Strong Bad imitates a guitar screech over the top.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Oh. Gad.

'''STRONG BAD''': That guy is tall.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER & STRONG BAD''': You take the big guy.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER''': The pipes are broken!

''{He leaps off. We cut to Homestar, suspended by a rope, whirling around and kicking Strong Sad repeatedly in the face. Strong Sad has a paper bag with Strong Mad's face, a bullet hole and a scar drawn on it on his head and is wearing his singlet.}''

'''STRONG SAD''': ''{There is one exclamation for each hit.}'' Oof! Ow! Ouff! Ouwh! Getting! Dizzy! Blacking! Out! Oof! Geez! Oouf!

''{We then cut to Strong Bad, Coach Z (silhouetted) and Homestar (looking down on the fallen Strong Mad).}''

'''COACH Z''': Nice work there, Dangeresque!

'''STRONG BAD & HOMESTAR RUNNER''': Thanks. Ahahahaha.

''{Marzipan, as Cutesy Buttons, approaches Coach Z, holding a glass of iced tea, with ice cubes and mint bobbing on the surface.}''

'''MARZIPAN''': Mmm. Thanks for the serum, boys. Now I won't be kidnapped.

'''STRONG BAD''': Oh no...

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER & STRONG BAD''': ...Looks like we're going to have to jump!

''{They both jump off the Concession Stand and end in a freeze frame, silhouetted against a sunset. The credits roll while Strong Bad sings.}''

'''STRONG BAD''': Today is all right for tonight... 
Riding in a Corvette, feeling all right, 
Today is all right for tonight! 
Today is all right for tonight... 
Riding in a Corvette, feeling all right, 
All right for tonight!

''{We cut to pictures of Strong Bad with Strong Sad's sandwich and Strong Sad protesting in the background; The Cheat washing the Gremlin while Strong Bad holds the sandwich; and The Cheat painting Strong Mad black on top of the Concession Stand.

== Easter Eggs ==
*Click on Strong Bad's Dangeresque glasses at the end and you can download "[[Today is Alright 4 2Nite]]," a song from the movie made by [[Strong Bad]].

== Fun Facts ==

===Explanations===
*At the end of [[stunt double]], Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective was said to be coming out in June 2004, which is when this e-mail came out. Also, it was supposed to be 'In 3D', which is why the sign says 'not in 3D' at the beginning of this one.

===Trivia===
*This email was originally titled "dangeresque3" (without the space) but was changed within hours to "dangeresque 3."
*If June 21st of 2004 was the 114th day of production, that would place Day 1 on March 9th; meaning Strong Bad didn't even start Dangeresque 3 until seven and a half months after [[stunt double]].
*The file sbemail106.swf is the biggest email to date, coming in at 1265KB. The only other emails that have come in over 1MB are "[[japanese cartoon]]," at 1131KB; "[[date]]," at 1032KB; and "[[haircut]]," at 1066KB. The large size is mostly due to the 3 frames of TV static (167KB from those 3 frames alone), and the noisy still image (287KB) at the end.
*The nunchaku gun has no trigger.

===Inside References===
*Strong Bad's line "I work alone. 'Cept when I work with Renaldo. Which is all the time" is a line from [[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]].
*Dangeresque's door reads (backwards) ''DANGERESQUE Private Eye/Crooked Cop'' which is also a throw to the Strong Bad Sings CD.
*The [[The VCR|VCR]] used for the car phone is from [[12:00]] and the [[Character Videos]] page.
*The Newspaper is from [[stunt double]].
**To read the exact text of the newspaper, see trivia in [[stunt double]].
*"I'm gonna have to jump!" is a reference to the [[stunt double]], as is the whole e-mail.
*The Name Tag that The King of Town wears is from [[The Luau]].
*The car is the [[Gremlin]] from [[Homestarloween Party]].
*Strong Bad saying "That guy is tall" may be a reference to [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] where Homestar said, "Alright, this guy is tall."
*The Cheat's "Istanbul" costume is a reference to [[A Decemberween Pageant]] where his "[[The Popular Vote|Popular Vote]]" costume looks almost the same.
*The line, "Here comes little email with a gun in his hand," is an exact mimic of the line "Here comes little THORAX with a gun in his hand," found on [http://www.thoraxcorp.com/intern.html this] Thoraxcorp.com page.

===Real-World References===
*"What is your malfunction?" is a reference to Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam War movie [[imdb:tt0093058|"Full Metal Jacket"]].
*The scene of the two Dangeresques climbing up the "skyscraper" is a parody of [http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/7537/climb.htm The Bat Climb], a running gag from the old [[Batman]] TV series.
*"The pipes are broken!" is Homestar trying to say "Tatsu Maki Sen Pu¯ Kyaku," a move from [[Wikipedia:Street Fighter II|Street Fighter II]] usually called the Hurricane Kick in U.S. versions of the game. The name is changed because the characters' voices in Street Fighter II are hard to understand (due to low-quality recordings), and sound like they are saying something else.
*Homestar's "shades" are Venetian blinds-style, and may have been inspired by the movie [[imdb:tt0094072|"Summer School"]].
*[http://www.hersheys.com/sundaebest/milkshakes.html#Peanut%20Butter%20Cup "Reesy Cup Milkshake"] is a reference to [[Wikipedia:Reese%27s_Peanut_Butter_Cup|Reese's Peanut Butter Cups]] candy, which is often served in milkshakes.
* Doughboy may be a reference to [[Wikipedia:Pillsbury_Doughboy|Poppin' Fresh]], [http://www.tvacres.com/admascots_poppinfresh.htm The Pillsbury Doughboy].


===Fast Forward===
*Homestar's "Hurricane Kick" becomes one of [[1-Up]]'s attacks in the Stinkoman 20x6 game.

==DVD Version==
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

===Commentary Transcript===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Matt Chapman]], [[Mike Chapman]])

'''MATT:''' Appropriately, this is our third try at the dangeresque 3 commentary.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, last time, Ryan came in, with the phone. Matt got a phone call.

'''MATT:''' But, see, and then Mike had the idea to keep doing the commentary while I was on the phone, and then I ruined it by stopping the recording.

'''MIKE:''' It would have been a good one.

'''MATT:''' It would've.

'''MIKE:''' Pretend you're on the phone.

'''MATT:''' All right. ''{in a high voice}'' Oh! Hello! This is.. the phone!

'''MIKE:''' All right, so this was, uh, about the time we said... Strong Bad said that, uh, Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective would come out.

'''MATT:''' June, of..

'''MIKE:''' June of 2004. We sorta considered actually doing it, but, of course, you know, it was supposed to be in 3-D, and we knew we weren't gonna...

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' See, this was our way of addressing it without really addressing it.

'''MATT:''' But, yeah. But, see, it's funny 'cuz people sort of, some people I remember...

'''MIKE:''' ...Still think that Dangeresque 3 is coming out.

'''MATT:''' Right. And they complained that, and it's just, but, you don't... you... you basically are getting Dangeresque 3. Here's something you've never seen, oh, aw, they just put that old "Dangeresque 1" up there. Uh, so Strong—

'''MIKE:''' Oh! You can see The Cheat in this scene! Look! You can see him running behind the car.

'''MATT:''' Oh, really. Oh really!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, that was... did you frame that up?

'''MATT:''' Yeah! When we shot this, there were live cartoon characters in the background!

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, yeah, I mean, I gotta watch that stuff closer, because, I'm sure some other people may have noticed that.

'''MATT:''' ''{of Coach Z's first scene}'' Uh, I remember this being a problem a lot when we made movies as kids, with, uh, people, like, at the end of a take would immediately look at the camera and be like, "Was that okay? Did I do right? Whatever?" Sort of like when we were doing the Peasant's Quest thing, my wife Jackie had a problem; she was never very confident with her performance.

'''MIKE:''' Sometimes she would start looking at the camera making a sour face before she was done with the line.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, she was not impressed with some of her performances.

''{pause until the Reesy Cup milkshake}''

'''MATT:''' Oooh. Let's go get those.

'''MIKE:''' Mm-hmm. Sonic?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Sonic Burger?

'''MATT:''' I think we comment about Sonic Burger on the last DVD set. How they're far away from us.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah. I know. I wish... we talk about it a lot for a place I've only eaten at, probably, three times in my life.

''{pause until the racquetball scene}''

'''MIKE:''' Racquetball.

'''MATT:''' Racquetball scene.

'''MIKE:''' There's good racquetball in, uh, Cape Fear, right?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, I think there's a very nice racquetball scene. And, uh, Splash!

'''MIKE:''' ''{laughing}'' Yeah.

'''MATT:''' John Candy is... he doesn't like playing. He gets really tired.

'''MIKE:''' We should start playing racquetball. And start watching Splash! Right now!

'''MATT:''' Take this out of the DVD player and put Splash in.

'''MIKE:''' I'll do it.

''{pause until they reach "Istanbul"}''

'''MIKE:''' So Strong Bad, er, rather, that's The Cheat there, Mike. The Cheat reprises his role as The Popular Vote from the Christmas episode as "Istanbul." We just had to modify his costume.

''{pause}''

'''MATT:''' This reminds me of, uh, my... our cousin Rafiel that lived with us for a while, and I remember him being the one that I would try... I would just force to be in movies.

'''MIKE:''' He never wanted to.

'''MATT:''' To the point of just, like, walking up to him with the camera and being like, "All right, here's the scene!" And he'd be like "No! Go away!"

''{pause until Perducci's sillhouette}''

'''MATT:''' Who do you think that is, Mike? That black sillhouette.

'''MIKE:''' That's the King, it's the King of Town.

'''MATT:''' I can't, who do you think that guy is...

'''MIKE:''' It's the King of Town...

'''MATT:''' In the derby hat...

'''MIKE:''' We just, we just showed him.

'''MATT:''' Who do you think THAT guy is?

'''MIKE:''' That's Strong Mad.

'''MATT:''' Oh.

'''MIKE:''' We made this cartoon. you should know.

'''MATT:''' This is a ref— a double reference to, obviously, the old Batman TV show where they would do this cheap special effect to be climbing up a wall, and then my friend Neil and I's attempt to do it in an episode of "Captain Idiot," I believe it was in.

'''MIKE:''' Not Agent Neil?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, and I think the first couple times we did it, we had the camera turned the wrong way, so we're climbing ''down'' the building.

'''MIKE:''' Ha ha! You guys are smart. Man, Killingyouguy has a giant bullet hole in his face. He's a tough man. Oh! That's like our buddy...

'''MATT:''' That, of course, what we... it sounds like Ken says in Street Fighter when he does the Hurricane Kick, or whatever it's called. "The pipes are broken."

'''MIKE:''' This whole thing is taking place on the only appearance of the ''top'' of Bubs' Concession Stand.

'''MATT:''' Yeah. That a mint julip or just an iced tea...

'''MIKE:''' I think it's an iced tea with mint in it.

'''MATT:''' Oh yeah, mint julips are white...

'''MIKE:''' I think Hopkins, Hopkins has some great...

'''MATT:''' Ooh, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' ...mint iced tea.

''{Over the credits, Matt imitates the guitar in the music}''

'''MIKE:''' Uh... Hot Tub.... Hot Tub tea.

'''MATT:''' Uh, what else, Mike?

'''MIKE:''' I kinda just want to listen to the song and watch this.

'''MATT:''' This is the end of the mon... the photo montage he speaks of in the montage email.

'''MIKE:''' That's true!

'''MATT:''' It's happening just now. ''{laughs}'' Didn't just backlight Strong Mad, they actually painted him black.

'''MIKE:''' Ah, the continue, er, the end.

'''MATT:''' Uh-oh.

== Transcript ==
'''STRONG BAD:''' I'm intrigued by these...how you say...emails.

''{He pulls up the email and reads it aloud:}''

<blockquote class="compy email">Hi strong bad! 
I wanted to know what your craziest 
cartoon would be like. Please make a 
CRAZY cartoon. 
 
Your awesome friend monkeydude</blockquote>

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' Look, I'm not your friend, monkey dude. In fact, I'm not even gonna call you monkeydude ''{he types "******" instead of "monkeydude"}'' again. I'ma call you Josh. ''{pause}'' So, a kah-razy cartoon huh, Josh? Crazy cartoons usually have titles that have nothing to do with the cartoon itself. ''{stops typing}'' You know, like...

''{Cut to a weird cartoon landscape, where a cartoon logo appears.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Sweet Cuppin' Cakes! The main character would look like a mix between a cow and a helicopter.

''{Sherlock flies in accompanied by helicopter noise.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And his talking would be just these weird sounds, and no words.

''{Sherlock makes incoherent mumbling sounds.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And all the episodes would be about him trying to get a little worm out of the ground.

''{A hole in the ground opens up and a worm peeks out. Sherlock lands on top of it.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' Oh! Oh! And at least once an episode, Eh! Steve would show up to deliver his catchphrase!

''{Eh! Steve drops down from the top of the screen}''

'''EH! STEVE:''' Eh! Steve!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' And Bubs would definitely be the voice of the wheelchair.

''{Eh! Steve runs off and a badly drawn wheelchair pulls up}''

'''THE WHEELCHAIR:''' I'll get you Eh! Steve, if it's the last thing I dooooo!

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{voiceover}'' I'd be in there too, but my head would be an old keyboard, and when I get mad, it'd play the demo.

''{Strong Bad with a keyboard head starts dancing around while the demo plays. Sherlock starts dancing along, and Eh! Steve runs past, being pursued by the wheelchair. Cut back to the Compy.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' ''{typing}'' So that's a pretty crazy cartoon huh, Josh? But I'm not much of an animator. Though I bet The Cheat makes some crazy cartoons. Let's see what he's cookin' up tonight. Today. Just right.

=== Powered by The Cheat ===

''{Cut to The Cheat on Tangerine Dreams working on an animation. Strong Bad comes up to him.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' 'Sup, my man? What're you workin' on today?

''{The Cheat makes noises, then starts up the animation. It is of very poor quality, in typical The Cheat style. "POWEREd by THE CHEAT" flashes on the screen. Cut to Strong Bad and Homestar Runner out at the field.}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Hey, Strong Bad! I need to be kicked in the face.

'''STRONG BAD:''' I can do it! I will do it nine times.

''{Strong Bad jumps up in the air and kicks Homestar in the face nine times}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' This is the last—

'''STRONG BAD:''' Shut it up! Shut it up, you.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Shut it up, me.

''{The Cheat runs on screen}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Here, The Cheat, have a trophy!

''{Strong Bad tosses him a trophy, and The Cheat squeaks}''

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Here, The Cheat, have another trophy!

''{A trophy falls out of Homestar's mouth and The Cheat catches it. Strong Bad kicks Homestar in the face.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' I was saving that one for about two seconds ago.

'''HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Perfect. Timing.

''{A purple Coach Z drops down from the sky, trophy in hand}''

'''COACH Z:''' Here, The Chort, have a trophy!

'''STRONG BAD AND HOMESTAR RUNNER:''' Three trophies for The Cheat! 
'''COACH Z:''' ''{simultaneously}'' Three trophies for The Chort!

''{Eh! Steve shows up}''

'''EH! STEVE:''' Eh! Steve!

''{the cartoon pans out to a badly drawn cartoon of Strong Bad and The Cheat watching the toon}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' The Cheat, this is the greatest cartoon in the whole world! Have a trophy!

''{Strong Bad gives The Cheat a trophy and The Cheat squeaks. Zoom out again to the ''actual'' Strong Bad and The Cheat.}''

'''STRONG BAD:''' Hey, I didn't do that! Did I? ''{The Cheat squeaks}'' I mean, it was good. I liked the way you worked in Eh! Steve!, but I don't think it deserved a trophy. I don't even think it deserved a pizza! Maybe a pizza trophy.

''{[[The Paper]] comes down. In the toon version, it says "The End"; in the email version it has the usual "Click here to e-mail Strong Bad," written in badly-formed letters.}''

== Easter Eggs ==
*At the end you can click on Eh! Steve on The Cheat's screen to see him again.
*Also at the end you can click on The Cheat's CD-ROM drive to get some Sweet Cuppin' Cakes [[HR:sccicons.html|buddy icons]] (email version only).

== Fun Facts ==
=== Trivia ===
*The [[Powered by The Cheat]] portion of this email is shown by itself in the Powered by The Cheat section of the Toons menu.
*It is a running gag that in almost every Powered by The Cheat toon Strong Bad's leg gets long and kicks Homestar.
*The Cheat apparently likes the color purple. He accidentally makes Coach Z purple and later gives Strong Bad purple boxing gloves in [[New Boots]].
*This is the first appearance of the main cast of "Sweet Cuppin' Cakes".

=== Inside References ===
*The noise made as Eh! Steve jumps off-screen is the same noise made in [[Marshmallow's Last Stand (toon)|Marshmallow's Last Stand]] when Strong Mad throws Homestar out of the ring.
*Strong Bad saying that The Cheat's cartoon "didn't even deserve a pizza" is a reference to [[Everybody to the Limit]], where Strong Bad (impressed with The Cheat's cartoon) said he'd buy him a pizza.

===Real-World References===
*The demo that is played by Keyboard Strong Bad is the actual demo from a [http://www.synthmuseum.com/casio/casvltone01.html Casio VL-Tone keyboard]. The tune is known as "Unterlanders Heimweh" (which means "Homesickness of the Lowlander" in German), and for many years, was the only song used in Casio keyboard one-button-select demos.
**This song would later be the inspiration for the "Cheat Cakes" song in the Easter egg for [[stupid stuff]].
*The [[Wikipedia:Macromedia Flash|Macromedia Flash]] interface is shown here when The Cheat is working on his cartoon.
*The idea of Sherlock spending all of his time trying to catch a worm might be a throwback to the [[Wikipedia:U.S. Acres|"U.S. Acres"]] segment of the TV series [[Wikipedia:Garfield and Friends|''Garfield and Friends'']]. In it, one of the running gags involved Booker the chick trying to catch a worm that always seemed to be smarter than he was.

== DVD Version ==
*The buddy icons Easter egg is disabled for obvious reasons.
*The DVD version features hidden creators' commentary. To access it, switch your DVD player's audio language selection while watching.

=== Commentary Transcript ===
('''Commentary by:''' [[Mike Chapman]], [[Matt Chapman]])

'''MIKE:''' Hi, I'm Mike.

'''MATT:''' Hi, my name's Matt C.

'''MIKE:''' We're gonna make the commentary on this Strong Bad e-mail... ''{pause}'' Is, uh... I don't know what I'm talking about.

'''MATT:''' Monkeydude, uh, you're thinking of Monkey D.

'''MIKE:''' Yeah, okay, Monkey D came from, was those post—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' It was first—

'''MIKE:''' cards, yeah.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, it was from the postcards and those just, we just made it up.

'''MIKE:''' Right.

'''MATT:''' And then, this guy's name is Monkey''dude'', which could also be construed as Monkey D. See?

'''MIKE:''' 'S true.

'''MATT:''' So, what else? There was—we had some other names, I remember, there was Sweet Cuppin' Cakes, and there was like some kinda Grandma—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' I think it was Grandma, Grandma's Soup or something.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' That guy's name is Sherlock.

'''MATT:''' ''{chuckling}'' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Cow-copter, his real name is Sherlock, but it's never been revealed other than the files on our computer saved as "Sherlock".

'''MATT:''' Yeah. And, of course, Eh! Steve came from a doodle on a, during—we were having a meeting, and I doodled him on a paper—

'''MIKE:''' And the wheelchair, Matt just, like, as a joke, just drew this wheelchair real fast and was like, ''{false excited}'' "Mike, I got the wheelchair done." And I was like, ''{false serious}'' I was all like, "We should keep it just like that."

'''MATT:''' Yeah. And of course, that's the Casio VL tone, which, um, we have right here.

'''MIKE:''' Where is it? It's right there, we're holding it in our hands, but you probably can't—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' Listen, Mitch, could you—There's no batteries in it, so but this is—

''{sound of fingers across the plastic keys}''

'''MIKE:''' This is what it sounds like when you hit it against Matt's head.

''{four light taps}''

'''MATT:''' You hear that? That's the—That's it, I swear. Um...

'''MIKE:''' And here's my chance to, uh, shine here in a second.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, Mike does—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' As—As I voice The Cheat's bad cartoons.

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' Here I go. ''{over PbTC Homestar}'' That's me. ''{mumbled, then synched with cartoon as PbTC Strong Bad}'' I can do it! I will do it nine times. ''{mimics sound of PbTC Strong Bad kicking PbTC Homestar in the face three times}''

'''MATT:''' Now Mike, what if ''I'' sat here and just did my voice during my voice—

'''MIKE:''' ''{overlapping}'' Hey, this is my ''one'' thing! I just wanna double—I gonna, ghe, double my own voices. ''{synched with cartoon as PbTC Strong Bad}'' Here The Cheat, have a trophy. ''{synched with cartoon as PbTC Homestar}'' Here The Cheat, have another trophy.

'''MATT:''' ''{laughs}'' Are you really just gonna do that throughout?

'''MIKE:''' Well... I like the pink Coach Z, though.

'''MATT:''' Yeah, the pink Coach Z is great, those clouds are, um, are awesome...

''{pause}''

''{both snicker at PbTC Eh! Steve}''

'''MIKE:''' But the best part is, uh, coming up here. ''{short pause}'' Wait...

'''MATT:''' What are you talking about?

'''MIKE:''' Oh, no, it's the [[mile]] one, with the parade...?

'''MATT:''' Yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I was thinkin—

'''MATT:''' ''{overlapping}'' We'll do that one later.

'''MIKE:''' Okay. Can I still talk about the parade?

'''MATT:''' Yeah, yeah, yeah.

'''MIKE:''' I like the Poopsmith cleaning up there at the end of the parade.

'''MATT:''' ''{hurried stuttering}'' wel—no—I—bu—

Talk:Mr. Shmallow

Caradhras:

== FDR? ==

I'm trying to figure out who Mr. Shmallow reminds me of, and the chin seems reminiscent of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's. Anyone else see the similarity? -- [[User:Caradhras|Caradhras]] 04:41, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Limozeen

2005-09-22T17:07:04Z

Caradhras: flashback email?

== Category? ==
What category is this? Characters? -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]] 09:24, 13 Aug 2004 (MST)

:Ahh, this is one of those pages that isn't linked to aside from the links on Easter Egg pages and the Emails they were in. I'd have to say this would get lumped into the same category as whatever the other Secondary Characters go under. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:35, 13 Aug 2004 (MST)

== Ugh ==
And ugh, this page is horrible. Too much is assumed about who plays who. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:35, 13 Aug 2004 (MST)

:How're we gonna go about linking [[Strong Bad Email|Stong Bad Emauls]]? Will it always be [[Strong Bad Email]] [[haircut]] <-- Like that? That gets a little hard on the eyes sometimes...What do you think? -- [[User:AgentSeethroo|AgentSeethroo]]

::One thing you have to remember is that things should really only get linked too once. If the word "Strong Bad" appears in ten different time on a page, it should only be linked the first time. We never really kept to that with 'Tavi. But to answer your question (I really don't know where that other point came from), I've been just putting [[haircut]] without the leading [[Strong Bad Email]]. I think the "Strong Bad Email haricut" was just used because for a while we didn't know we could change the link title with a pipe. So we'd have ((StrongBadEmail/haircut)). Yeah, just use the email's name. -- [[User:Tom|Tom]] 10:47, 13 Aug 2004 (MST)

== The Thanksgiving E-Cards ==

Since someone finally provided a working mirror of the Thanksgiving E-Cards, should a page be done about them? I think some of the information in them is pretty interesting, mostly about how it confirms that [[Gary Palaroncini]] is Gary from Limozeen (and that everybody's last name in Limozeen seems to be Palaroncini at that). Just decided to ask before doing anything. --[[User:TheNintenGenius|TheNintenGenius]] 23:02, 16 Feb 2005 (MST)

== Gunderson ==

I looked at the names of the newly added tour places and saw "Gunderson". how do you think it's linked to Emtarkanderundersgunderson from [[the process]]? I bet that there are a lot of names like this in here, just need to find them.

== "Donny" Chapman ==

I recall it being spelled "Donnie" in one of the various Brothers Chap interviews. --[[User:Spanky The Dolphin|Spanky The Dolphin]] 14:45, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== umbridge ==

Hey, wasn't umbridge from the fifth harry potter book?? Dolores ring some bels? -- '''aman.hoonoo'''

== flashback email ==

''In the email "flashback," Matt Chapman is everybody in Limozeen,''

...what does this mean? It doesn't look like the same person physically playing each character. Does Matt dub over all the voices? Or what?
