Welcome (and a soft warning)

Hey there, and welcome to the wiki. I'm one of the sysops around here (basically, an admin) and I figured I'd pop in to talk about a few things that you probably aren't aware of.

1. Rather than typing "-JC" to sign your posts, try typing in ~~~~ (four tildes) at the end of your post. When you save the page, the wiki will automatically convert it into a signature with a timestamp (e.g. my customized one looks like: —Aichon— 18:34, 20 March 2015 (UTC)). We actually require that you do this, since otherwise pages become unreadable very quickly as we have no idea who said what or when they said it.
2. I don't know what this stuff is about, but could you make sure it doesn't happen again? If you're using a public computer, make sure you log off after you're done using it, since you're responsible for anything that your account is used to do. You're not in any trouble yet, but that could change if more stuff like that gets posted. I've cleaned it up for now, but please take steps to ensure it doesn't happen again.
3. When you want to respond to someone, we respond by indenting right underneath their post that you want to respond to. To do an indentation, start your line off with a : (colon). That allows us to tell more easily who you're talking to, and allows us to keep track of the conversations as they branch. If you want to respond to a response, just add an extra indentation by adding an extra colon, and so on.
4. Before you click "Save page" to save your edit, be sure to click "Show preview" first. It lets you check on your edit and make sure it's right before you save it. Making a lot of edits back-to-back-to-back when you could have previewed them until you had things right and then saved it once is considered rude by some people, since it clutters up the history for a page, as well as the list of recent changes on the wiki.

If you have any questions, you're welcome to respond here, or else you can pop over to my talk page to ask questions there. We understand that getting started here can be a bit intimidating and that there's a lot of stuff going on that you don't always understand, so it's fine if you make some mistakes as you learn the ropes. We're here to help. —Aichon— 18:34, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
