User:Xando/New User Information

Welcome!
If you are reading this, you are presumably a new editor who is wanting to help out around this fancy ol' place! If that's the case, then hopefully this guide helps to orient you in your new journey.

The interface
In case you haven't noticed, all of the buttons and pages and stuff here is kinda confusing, as it was for most people who joined. Here are some of the most important features.

Recent Changes
The recent changes page is one of the most important features on the wiki. It shows the most recent edits from whatever time frame you choose. It helps you know what's going on in the wiki, and also lets you know if someone did something malicious to a page.

Signatures
You may have seen some of those fancy colors and images next to people's names. Some prefer fancier signatures, while others like more simplistic ones. Here are some examples on what they would look like for you! Note that I just stole the sigs and they are still linked to userpages.

Simplistic
