Miscellaneous information or long explanations are generally discouraged on HRWiki.

If a term or concept may need to be explained, it is best only to link to a Wikipedia page regarding that item; the information is not to be written on the page itself or added as a new page.

The purpose of HRWiki talk pages is to allow discussion of the ''content'' of the pages they accompany. Talk pages are ''not'' for chit-chatting even if it does relate to Homestar Runner. (See [[HRWiki:Talk page etiquette#Main namespace talk|talk page guidelines]].) Instead, the Homestar Runner Wiki hosts a {{pl|l=http://forum.hrwiki.org/ forum}} for non-encyclopedic discussion, and an [[HRWiki:IRC|IRC channel]] and [[HRWiki:Discord server|Discord server]] for casual chat.
