Welcome to the Club Penguin Wiki, Welc!

Hi! Welcome to the Club Penguin Wiki, the free online encyclopedia all about Club Penguin!

If you want to discuss improvements to a page, use it's Talk Page. A talk page is the discussion section for the page it is about. User's have their own talk pages so that different people can message them. The page you are on now is your talk page, which will be used to receive messages. Whenever you make a comment on a talk page, be sure to sign your post with your signature. You can do this by typing 4 tildes (~~~~). You can also click the button on the edit bar to do the same thing. You can also talk about the wiki (for help, or for general discussion about it) or socializing.

You can also socialize or get live support from an admin at our IRC support channel.

All users have their very own User Page. User pages are pages where the user who owns the user page can tell things about themselves. Feel free to fill out your user page with information about yourself, and anything else you would like to say.

A few users called Administrators have extra tools to maintain the wiki. They have special abilities such as blocking users, deleting pages, reverting edits, and a few others. Administrator's names will normally show in green. A list of Administrators can be found Here. If an Admin asks you to stop doing something, it is best to respect their request and do as you are told. Sometimes not listening to them in cases where you are breaking our policy may result in a block.

Before you begin editing, we also kindly ask you to read our policy first, to avoid any blocks and to be aware of our rules.

Editing means to change a page. We have many pages on this wiki, but many are personal pages, ect. Articles are our most important pages that are informational and have information on different things on Club Penguin. An example of an article would be the Coffee Shop page. To edit a page, click the "Edit this page" button on the top of the page.

If you make a mistake while editing, do not stress! Just go to the bottom of the article and click "Report a problem on this page". Just explain what happened. If you intentionally mess up a page, you will be Blocked from editing.

There are many more advanced things that you will learn as you go on. For more help on editing, see Our Editing guide.

For further help when editing wikis, be sure to visit Our Help Center.

You can also modify some of your account settings such as a custom signature at your Preferences.

Thanks! And, once again, welcome to the Club Penguin Wiki!

+Hi! Welcome to the Club Penguin Wiki, the free online encyclopedia all about [[Club Penguin]]!
-If you ever need support or if you just want to chat with some users, feel free to visit our [[Club Penguin Wiki:IRC|IRC channel]].
+If you want to discuss improvements to a page, use it's [[Help:Talk page|Talk Page]]. A talk page is the discussion section for the page it is about. User's have their own talk pages so that different people can message them. The page you are on now is your talk page, which will be used to receive messages. Whenever you make a comment on a talk page, be sure to sign your post with your signature. You can do this by typing 4 tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). You can also click the [[Image:Signa.jpg]] button on the edit bar to do the same thing. You can also talk about the wiki (for help, or for general discussion about it) or socializing.
-If you are new to Wikia or wikis in general, be sure to visit the [[project:Community Portal|"Community portal"]] for an outline of some of the main parts of the site and a link to pages that tell you '''how to edit'''.
+You can also socialize or get live support from an admin at our [[Club Penguin Wiki:IRC|IRC support channel]].
-To test out editing, do '''NOT''' test it out on articles. Instead, use the [[Club_Penguin_Wiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]]! Remember, this wiki is not a forum, it is an encyclopedia.
+All users have their very own '''User Page'''. User pages are pages where the user who owns the user page can tell things about themselves. Feel free to fill out [[Special:Mypage|your user page]] with information about yourself, and anything else you would like to say.
-Many useful tools and fun pages can be seen to the left, under the logo. Namely the Sidebar, clicking on a blue link will take you to the page of choice.
+A few users called [[Project:Administrators|Administrators]] have extra tools to maintain the wiki. They have special abilities such as blocking users, deleting pages, reverting edits, and a few others. Administrator's names will normally show in green. A list of Administrators can be found [[Project:Administrators|Here]]. If an Admin asks you to stop doing something, it is best to respect their request and do as you are told. Sometimes not listening to them in cases where you are breaking our policy may result in a block.
-Do keep an eye on the [[Special:Recentchanges|"recent changes" page]], where all edits and their authors (anonymous or signed-in) are listed. Bookmark it, maybe. (And help delete spam and vandalism - unpleasant but a fact of life.)
+Before you begin editing, we also kindly ask you to read our [[Club Penguin Wiki:Policy|policy]] first, to avoid any blocks and to be aware of our rules.
-'''Discussion''' of any aspect of the site, '''and enquiries''', can be made at [[Talk:Main_Page]] or on the [[Help:Talk page|"discussion" page]] associated with each article. It helps if you sign and date your contributions there, so that readers know "who to talk to" and whether your message is probably still of current interest. If you write on a user's "talk" page, that user will get an alerting message on next visit. Please refrain from actually discussing about the subject in hand on talk pages, and do that in [[Forum:Index|Forum]]s. Remember to sign every discussion or talk page with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). You can also click the [[Image:Signa.jpg]] button on the edit bar to do the same thing.
+'''Editing''' means to change a page. We have many pages on this wiki, but many are personal pages, ect. '''Articles''' are our most important pages that are informational and have information on different things on Club Penguin. An example of an article would be the [[Coffee Shop]] page. To edit a page, click the "Edit this page" button on the top of the page.
-Feel free to fill out your [[Special:Mypage|user page]] so we can learn more about you. Also, it would be great if you set your [[Special:Preferences|Preferences]] for editing at this wiki.
+If you make a mistake while editing, do not stress! Just go to the bottom of the article and click "Report a problem on this page". Just explain what happened. If you intentionally mess up a page, you will be [[Help:Blocking|Blocked]] from editing.
-We here at the CPW encourage creative ideas. See [[:Category:Community|this]].
+There are many more advanced things that you will learn as you go on. For more help on editing, see [[Help:Editing|Our Editing guide.]]
-We also kindly ask you to read our [[Club Penguin Wiki:Policy|policy]] before editing, to avoid any blocks and to be aware of our policies.
 For further help when editing wikis, be sure to visit [[Help:Contents|Our Help Center]].
-And remember, we encourage your edits!
+You can also modify some of your account settings such as a custom signature at your [[Special:Preferences|Preferences]].
-Thanks! And, once again, welcome to the Club Penguin Wiki!
-Have a blast!
