Double posting to avoid cluttering up the OP:
- This is an attempt to create a guide to the fora, if anything's wrong you are free to say so.
- The staff may edit this OP as they see fit, as long as it stays usable.
- If it's good enough, please pin it.
The first line under the "locked pages" section is mis-formatted...that's all that jumps out right now, I may have time tonight to give it a more thorough look.
"tot he" should be "to the" at the top.
Stupid doomed timeline...Fixed both.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI think you forgot to finish this.
Fight smart, not fair.The third entry in the "bans" section needs to change from "tying" to "trying".
Second second-level bullet under "locked pages":
If you want to get a page unlocked, head over here - note that the thread, despite its name, deals with all unlocking requests. And also note that not all needs need an unlock.
Should that be "not all edits need an unlock"?

I am not a mod, and I don't play one on TV.Not "edits", but "changes". Fixed that.
EDIT: Added several more fixes.

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanPer discussion in the crowner issues thread: My take —
The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a subforum dedicated strictly to reporting problems with wiki functions. That way, we can keep them organized and keep Wiki Talk and Tech Wishlist free to pursue their unique functions. The "Advertising/Security issues" thread could then be moved to that forum.

I really don't know. You'll have to ask Eddie for this and what his opinions are on this subject matter.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanDefinitely need mod/Eddie input. I made a Tech Wishlist thread here to start some dialogue on the IT issues forum and something else I was thinking about.
Should this be pinned?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanAdded a section concerning the content policy and summarized the SE threads in the new directory.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSearching topics, first bullet: Could you add a note about searching through WikiWords for TRS and IP topics?
Where are the rules, second or third bullet: Could you add "Some subforums have specific rules or guidelines which are stickied. Please check for and read these before posting there."?
Bans and access problems, fourth bullet: It'd be helpful if you could add something to the effect of "Those can also be the result of suspensions from particular features, in which case the appeals thread is where to go.".
Porn and Pedo Pandering policy: It'd be more consistant if "Pedo Pandering" wasn't capitalised. First bullet: Links can't start with a number, so the page is at Administrivia/FiveP. Full URLs need the http:// bit.
Thanks for making the guide!
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.Did some fixes there.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman{{5P}} still needs changing to FiveP.
The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the groundI just created a Works page for a fanfic I believe should be represented on this site. I've put it in the Sandbox namespace for the moment, but I'm hoping it can still be edited by others. It doesn't have a comprehensive trope list (although I feel like I've made a good start on one), and I'm hoping some people can help me by editing it and adding tropes, although they'll obviously need to be familiar with the fic and its fandom first. I wasn't sure if I should move it into the Fan Fic namespace yet, given how uninformative the page is right now, though if someone disagrees, they're welcome to do it. The fanfic has been linked at the top of the page, so if anyone likes Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters fanfiction and has the time to read nearly 300,000 words of incomplete but very good story, your help would be sincerely appreciated! I'm currently doing Na No Wri Mo, and I tend to get caught up in so many things that some of my projects fall by the wayside, so I'm glad there are many tropers to help out!
If there is somewhere more appropriate this can go, just tell me and I'll repost it there! :)
Here's the page if anyone's interested.

As if I needed another site to procrastinate on...~The Imaginatrix: My take would be to bring your fic to YKTTW if you want help on it. I can't guarantee anything, though.

Locking this, since it's getting too much sideconversations. If an update is needed, please click the yellow holler button. I'll address that question in Edit Requests.
