Welcome to the Club Penguin Wiki, Welc!
Welcome to the Club Penguin Wiki! We hope you can make continuing contributions of articles and/or discussion and other improvements.
If you are new to Wikia or wikis in general, be sure to visit the "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.
To test out editing, do NOT test it out on articles. Instead, use the Sandbox! Remember, this wiki is not a forum, it is an encyclopedia.
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.
Do keep an eye on the "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.)
Discussion of any aspect of the site, and enquiries, can be made at Talk:Main_Page or on the "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 Forums. Remember to sign every discussion or talk page with four tildes (~~~~). You can also click the 
button on the edit bar to do the same thing.
Feel free to fill out your user page so we can learn more about you. Also, it would be great if you set your Preferences for editing at this wiki.
We here at the CPW encourage creative ideas. See this.
We also kindly ask you to read our policy before editing, to avoid any blocks and to be aware of our policies. Also, please read our Manual of Style before, so you can understand how to actually make articles that follow our wiki's style. Reading the policy and the manual of style is a real step towards editing effectively.
You can introduce yourself and make some new friends at the Community Suite.
For further help when editing wikis, be sure to visit Wikia Help.
And remember, we encourage your edits!
Thanks! And, once again, welcome to the Club Penguin Wiki!
Have a blast!
