Welcome, to Wikipedia!
By now you've figured out a lot of things: how to setup a username, and perhaps how to edit an article. There's lots of cool things to learn how to do within Wikipedia. This template I made by hand!

Rules, Regs, and all that mumbo-jumbo Now, as part of an online community, there are some rules and such that everyone needs to be aware of. A full list of those are availble here. However, there are a few I want to share with you:
I hope you've found these links helpful. These are by no means the end of the information available, but it is a start. Should you need help, remember I am here for your assistance. Ask a question if you need, but above all remember... |
