| Hey there! We're glad you decided to join the ED crew, it's always good to have another editor. However, you're making a common mistake by {{{1}}}. It's not a big deal, a lot of new people make the same mistake, but it is something we generally try to discourage. If you want some tips on improvement, try reading your welcome message again (It's got a lot of useful links), reading more articles to get the feel of ED, and reading the Style Guide for help. If you have a question, try asking an admin or the person who left you this message for help. |

Your new article
Hey, you've made an article about {{{1}}} that might have potential, but you should probably work on it or it'll get deleted. Want some tips?
- Make it long enough to be worth reading! Several paragraphs at least, and use section headers (using ==Headername==.)
- Describe Internet drama or Internet funniness related to the subject. Be funny! Remember that "OMG this is so ghey" is not funny. Keep it somewhat on topic.
- Put in a picture or two. Screenshots are your friend (Printscreen button on your compy, than paste with Ctrl+V into MS Paint, then save as a JPG). Upload pics in the bottom left of the sidebar. Help in formatting here.
- Add links to websites showing drama and lulz - may be examples, related online groups, whatever. Help in formatting here.
- Categorize it. God help you if it has no categories. Categories here.
- Above all else, make sure it's funny. Look here for help.
- Read How to archive the lulz and the style guide for extra tips.
- Read some of the featured articles to see what makes a really good article.
Sounds like a lot of work, but it's really not. Do these, and your article won't get deleted.

Hello, Templates/Common Task Help
THIS IS SERIOUS; READ IT.
Congratulations on joining ED! You probably fit into one of these categories:
- 1. New User
- Before making your first article look over ED:101. Try checking out random articles and fixing typos, grammar and/or bullshit where you find them before trying to make a new page. To start with, make multiple small edits to different articles until you have the hang of it. If you don't, it is unlikely that your article will survive for more than sixty seconds and you risk being molested by ED Sysops.
- If you don't know anything about wiki formatting and code, please read ED:BASIC and the Style Guide. To start you off:
- Sign your comments using four tildes (like this ~~~~)
- To answer a message, reply on the user's talk page.
- These are the sysops. If you have a problem, talk to them.
- 2. Mediawiki Migrant If you're an experienced wiki user (probably from a Wikipedia offshoot) who knows how to operate, please read ED:101 for offical policy and ED:MIGRANT for tips on assimilation and basic rules.
Whichever you are, to successfully contribute to ED, please take some time to look around, note why other people get banned and don't act like they did.
Communication with other users prevents misunderstandings and can be done through talk pages, TJC and the mailing list and ED IRC. If you need an admin, the list of active ED Sysops will let you know who's around. To chat with or to ask for help from other ED users, then please hit up the experts in #wiki on our IRC.
If you plan on sticking around, feel free to make your mark on the ED:Map and join the ED Facebook, the ED Myspace the ED Bebo and follow the ED Twitter. If that's not enough ED for you, feel free to join the all new ED Forums.
| This page has potential but it needs a lot of work. It could benefit from {{{1}}}. Discuss edits that might add to the lulz on this article's talk page. |
