User blog:Waterbuddy/A Guide to the ROBLOX Wiki 1.0

Why hello there! My name is Velcromontatien (or Waterbuddy) and I'll be your guide on how we operate, we write and we fit in. This is a good place to start if you just came here or are looking for a tutorial where you can improve your skills in the ROBLOX Wikia, the guide of ROBLOX.

First of all, let us go through the rules of the ROBLOX Wikia. Now you're probably wondering, 'Why is this guide giving me the rules when they are already written?'. Well, the answer to that is because I want you to fully understand how to be around here and what is expected of you. So let's just call this the Fit-in Guide.

Don't be a fool, be cool! (Common Sense, Trolling and Maturity)
Let's face it, nobody likes somebody who continuously acts like a fool and makes the wiki an embarassment; a good image is important, and if somebody ruins that image, we'll get a bad reputation and our community cannot grow! '''This does not mean you can't be yourself. '''You can be yourself, just in a mature way.

Page Threats (Vandals)
Though this fits in to maturity, it is important that you don't vandalize. Why? Because first, you'll get banned and second, you're annoying people that are actually loyal this this wiki. If you're doing this, stop and think, who are annoying and more importantly, why?

Think before you act (Impulse and "Pooping in the Punchbowl")
One day you might stumble across somebody who says "Sonic 4 is bad because it uses Sonic's modern design which I HATE SO MUCH!" You want to shout and scream at them saying that there opinion sucks and you want to punch them in the face. This is not the correct way to do things; instead, express your opinion in a non-violent and non-oppressive way. So you would probably say "Hmm... I have to disagree with you there; a game should not be judged on it's design but its gameplay in my opinion. I liked the idea of the modern design being featured. Congratulations! You turned down the impulse and did what you were meant to do. The internet wasn't designed to fight but to enjoy. Will you do that? (And in case you're wondering, this adds to your "cool" factor, but don't be thinking about cool all the time.)

Double Checked?
Look at your work on a page once you're done with everything. Was it factually correct? Was it lazily written with no full full stops and capital letters? That's for you to check, not anybody else. So you just left a badly written page for somebody else to fix? Well, now the next editor will think you're lazy. Just do what you're meant to do and everything will be fine.

I hope this helped!

Be sure to tune in next time!
