| + | Welcome to the main page of this wiki! | ||
| + | -------------------------------------- | ||
| + | |||
| + | When editing this page, please note a few things: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * The inexperienced may want to check out the "How to help" section on the "community portal" article linked on the sidebar. | ||
| + | * Remember this page is the most public face of the wiki - test edits are best done on a separate page. | ||
| + | * Sections within "<! --" and "-- >" markers (without the spaces) - like this entire section - are hidden comments, and can be separated by several lines. Be sure not to break them. | ||
| + | * We strongly recommend you do not change the <mainpage-rightcolumn-start /> style tags - these keep your page format safe from unexpected breaks - the right column is first, followed by the left column. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Please note that Wikia protection policy advises against the protection of this page unless it is the active target of vandalism. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Protecting the main page can do more harm than good, for example by preventing links being added. | ||
| + | * See http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Protection for more info. | ||
