"Winter is coming."

Actually, summer is approaching, and it is approaching fast.

We've been waiting for summer for awhile now. Summer is the wiki's savior. If we get any new members, it will be during the summer. However, we are in no way shape or form ready to accept any new members.

We need a way for new members to jump into the action without being confused. Here is a list of to-dos.

1) Improved welcome message. Introduce new users to the admins and important articles. 2) A HELP PAGE. Something that explains our universe. How everything is connected. We don't want a Lost dilemma.

Before, I have created a page that introduces the admins to new users here. And also, "Winter is coming" is legit (for where I live)

Hmm, is it possible to revamp the registration page? I take it accounts need activation, so why not put links to various help pages in large, centered text in the page the URL links you to? -- Epic Intro Of Blackness So  Do You Think That Was Epic? Tell Me Now! 14:09, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, that welcome message that is given to every new user should be updated, cause that's like the first thing any newbie sees. There should be some links to help pages on the message, too.

Also, can somebody put a link to the current account activation/welcome page? I would appreciate that very much. -- Epic Intro Of Blackness So  Do You Think That Was Epic? Tell Me Now! 19:23, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes. I do not find anyone to be a threat to our beloved wiki as we know it except for Feey and his blogs of complaints/changes/ideas. Everyone else is doing a great job here. Keep up the good work!

Jeez, why can't you guys just get along? And why does everyone address me as Star Kirby- Star is shorter. Hello, my name is Star Kirby12. Chat first, ask questions later.

TurtleShroom, please stop trying to shut me up. What I'm trying to say is that anything a new user does must be applauded. Why would they create articles if they feel like nobody reads it? And why would any new user stay if they feel like they are not needed here? --  Pen  BlooeR    22:08, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

I noticed that the 'change avatar' button on the user page is broken. It directs me to an error page.  My subjects, one and all,  Your king has returned!  20:07, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
