Some links to help get you started

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

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

To get plugged in to the community:

• Let us know a little bit about yourself on your user page. (Please see the rules and guidelines for your user space first.)
• If you're not sure what you can do to help out, head over to The Stick.
• If you're looking for more community interaction, you can also register over at our forum, or if you're feeling creative, you can register separately at the fanstuff wiki.
• If you see an update on homestarrunner.com that isn't listed on the Main Page, put it up here.
• To sign and timestamp a post on a talk page, type four tildes (~~~~).
• Above all, be sure to be bold and have fun!

Welcome

Welcome to the wiki. I noticed on your user page you were wondering "how to make a proper list" .. there are a couple ways to do this. If you want a numbered list, begin every line with a # and the following will be the result:

1. Pong
2. Asteroids
3. Frogger

Or if you want a bulleted list, begin every line with a * instead, and this will happen:

• Pac-Man
• Donkey Kong
• Space Invaders

Hope that helps. And I look forward to seeing your contributions to the wiki! OptimisticFool 20:48, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a bunch, man. I've credited you on the A Little About Me section. Maybe it'll earn you s'more publicity. P.S. Can you tell me how you got a sig with your Wiki username? Posted by Corruption 13:36 PM October 5, 2008 (EST)

Sure. Typing ~~~~ will add your sig. Give it a try. OptimisticFool 17:45, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Alright, here goes nothin. Corruption 17:48, 5 October 2008 (UTC) It's a timestamp. I meant a picture, but it's ok. I found a help page on it, but thanks anyways.

If you need any specific help, feel free to ask away. OptimisticFool 18:21, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank'ee very much. I appreciate it. Corruption 18:33, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
P.S. I looked at your userpage, you do really well with pictures. I wish I was that good, all I've got is MS Paint.

Using Show Preview

That one

Hello Corruption, I see that you have made several consecutive edits to the same page. I want to point out the Show Preview button. It's right next to the Save Page button when you edit. You should use it whenever you are making a lot of experimental edits, for example when you are trying to get formatting right. Using the Show Preview button is quicker and easier than saving and clicking "edit" again, and will keep recent changes and page histories from being flooded. Please note that this works with anything, so you don't have to keep pressing Save Page.

Thanks, — MichaelXX2

Dearest form letter,
I already knew that.

Editing other people's pages and talk posts

Hi there, i've noticed you've been correcting spelling on other peoples' pages and talk posts. please to be refraining from doing this. those posts should stand as they were made, especially the ones on archives. Thanks, hope that helps. — Defender1031*Talk 18:48, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Eek, sorry. I'll be more careful. Corruption

Also, "Actually" is spelled with two L's. did you know that? Homestar-Winner (talk) 18:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

You know what? I actually did. So, DeFender, does that mean I can't correct your spelling of be? Corruption

I umm... i did that on purpose... umm... to see if you... umm... would ignore me and... correct it... anyway? >_> — Defender1031*Talk 18:58, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Okay, you have... a lot... of sentences... that are trailing... off... Corruption

That was all one sentence, said slow as if i was making it up as i went along... — Defender1031*Talk 19:02, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
