Welcome to the internet's number 1 resource for Homestar Runner Fanstuff: the name of this site, is of the course, the Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki, and that name pretty much sums up what we're all about.

'''Homestar Runner''' <span style='color: grey;'>Fanstuff Wiki</span> - all of our content is based on the Homestar Runner website. If you don't know what Homestar Runner is, you might be feeling a bit lost and confused! We recommend heading over to our sister wiki, the [[HRWiki:|Homestar Runner Wiki]], which contains a ''lot'' of information about Homestar Runner. Check out their [[HRWiki:HRWiki:About|About]] page if you need more information.

<span style='color: grey;'>Homestar Runner</span> '''Fanstuff''' <span style='color: grey;'>Wiki</span> - fanstuff, is, essential, stuff by fans. If you enjoy Homestar Runner, then congratulations, you are a fan too! "Stuff" includes anything from [[Portal:Fan Fiction|fan fiction]] to [[Portal:Comics|comics]] to [[Portal:Email Shows|emails]] answered in the style of Strong Bad. If you have anything you made that's related to Homestar Runner is a significant way, it likely falls under fanstuff too. Check out the complete [[Portal:All Fanstuff|list of fanstuff]] to see just how much variety we have!

<span style='color: grey;'>Homestar Runner Fanstuff</span> '''Wiki''' - a wiki is a site where anybody can edit any page. You are likely familiar with [[Wikipedia:|Wikipedia]], one of the largest wikis in the world and by far the most popular. This site being a wiki means you can come in and contribute as much or as little as you like.

If you decide to stick around, use the [[Special:Userlogin|log in]] link at the top of this page to set up a username. To edit a page, click the "edit" link at the top of any page. Please be polite, and briefly describe any changes you make in the "Summary" text field on the edit page. Your "Summary" comments will appear on the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page. The one page where you have the most control over content is your [[HRFWiki:Personal Pages|user page]], which you will receive when you [[Special:Userlogin|log in]]. It's '''very important''' to read the [[HRFWiki:Fanstuff Guidelines|Fanstuff Guidelines]] and related [[:Category:Official Policy Pages|Official Policy Pages]], so the sooner you do that, the sooner you can get into contributing.

If you ever have questions about the wiki, feel free to ask a [[HRFWiki:Administrators|sysop]] or join us on the [http://z13.invisionfree.com/Fanstuff forum] or [irc://freenode.net/#hrwiki-fanstuff IRC]. We're always happy to help!

This wiki is absolutely free, no money is ever paid unless one wants to [[HRWiki:Donations|donate]] for web hosting, but nothing is required.

== Wiki etiquette ==
If you're still unsure of how stuff works around here, you may want to check out the [[MediawikiWiki:Help:Contents|MediaWiki User's Guide]]. There you will learn how to make '''bold''', ''italics'', and other wiki stuff. Out of courtesy, you really shouldn't edit pages unless you are adding something meaningful (fixing grammar and spelling mistakes is okay). You also shouldn't delete any content unless you have an extremely good reason. If you want to play around and get a feel for editing pages, please do so in the [[HRWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]].

Wikipedia has a great "[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Wikiquette|Wikiquette]]" section. It covers a lot of information about what is accepted and what is not accepted on a wiki. There are really no rules, but there is a definite level of etiquette involved. Some of the suggestions offered are only relevant to Wikipedia, but many of them apply to any wiki. Anyone interested in being a valuable contributor to any wiki should read it.

== A Warning ==
Above all, '''never''' use obscene or otherwise defamatory language, and never deface the documents our community has worked hard to create. Remember&#8212;there are people younger than you here at the wiki, and they may not like obscene language, and therefore ''no'' swearing will be tolerated. Also, note that the wiki gives everyone the ability to revert documents back to their original state. Therefore, no one can permanently harm the wiki by deleting pages. All an offender will accomplish is to slightly annoy our wiki community. After repeated defacings our administrators will block the offender's IP address. If defamatory language is seen it will be changed or deleted, and it's possible the user may be blocked for using it.
