Welcome to The Homestar Runner Wiki!
Hello, and welcome to The Homestar Runner Wiki! This is the best place, as you've probably noticed, to learn about anything and everything Homestar Runner. There are a couple of things you should read up on before you really start jumping in and editing -
- Take a look at the Wiki Standards to see how things work around here.
- Read up on how to edit at the Editing Help section.
- Read the FAQ.
- Read the MediaWiki User's Guide.
- If you're looking for more interaction with the users, our Chat Channel is always available, and we also have a Wiki Forum.
- The Stick is a place where you can find out some projects to do or committees to join, if you choose to.
- If you're still confused, check out the Introduction page.
If you have any questions, ask them up in the HelpDesk or ask some sysops or admins ('sysop' is just a special term for someone who watches over the wiki and has a few more rights than other users). I'm sure you'll catch on quickly, and all of the users are very nice here. Feel free to delete this message when you're done reading it, and I hope you stick around and join our team. Have fun! – Pertmywert (Talk·Edits), The Homestar Runner Wiki Welcoming Committee

Kool, another Christian on the wiki. Happy Easter, Point7Q. May the grace of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, always be with you. — Has Matt? (talk) 02:32, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you, and to you as well. He is Risen indeed. - Point7Q 02:36, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
- Aaaand still is. Meanwhile, I was curious about your name: it seems meaningful, but I can't place it. It's not, as was my first theory, part of the explosion of the quadratic formula. Is it coincidence that it gives you (in a sense) the same initials as Peasant's Quest? —AbdiViklas 03:49, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- Wow. I had no idea so many meanings could be read into my screen name. As creative as these theories are, the actual story has nothing to do with H*R. It is really a spelled out version of ".7Q" (which does not work as a screen name because of punctuation.) What happened was this: I was sitting around trying to come up with a superhero name/concept for myself. I've always been a fan of the Green Lanterns, but didn't want to make my fantasy self accountable to the Guardians who run the Corps, given significant differences in philosophy and ethics. I decided on something along the same vein, only using the color blue so I wouldn't be stomping on anyone's imaginary turf. I tried thinking of a name that involved blue, but couldn't think of anything I liked. Finally I got the idea of looking up the color spectrum and learned that a certain shade of blue (I have no idea WHICH shade) could be expressed as ".7 quadrillion hertz," or ".7Q." At least, assuming I read the chart right. Anyway, I never took the idea further, but it made for a handy source for a screen name. I use it on other stuff too sometimes, like "Star Wars: Battlefront 2" and a few other online forums. If anyone sees the name elsewhere, feel free to tell me. I'll let you know if that was me or someone else using the name I invented. Point7Q 04:05, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
- In my continuing effort to find ways to procrastinate, I of course tried to find out what shade of blue it is. It was a crazy journey involving, first of all, the definition of Quadrillion, but in the end about the best I can say is it looks like it's right on the edge where blue turns into violet (based on this page). —AbdiViklas 04:33, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
