Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki - a wiki is a site where anybody can edit any page. You are likely familiar with 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 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 recent changes page. The one page where you have the most control over content is your user page, which you will receive when you log in. It's very important to read the Fanstuff Guidelines and related 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 sysop or join us on the forum or IRC. We're always happy to help!

This wiki is absolutely free, no money is ever paid unless one wants to 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 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 Sandbox.

Wikipedia has a great "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—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.

Thank you for visiting the Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki. We hope you'll feel welcome here amongst fellow fans of the greatest cartoon of all time. We would love to have you as a community member!
