'''To:''' you! whoever you are reading this webpage
'''Date:''' 03:39, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
'''Updated:'''
'''Subject:''' Welcome! (and a few words of "wisdom" from a stubborn admin who co-created [[Electowiki:History|Electowiki]] in 2005)
Line 10:
* '''We're watching you....''' - You may have been pointed here because I was watching [[Special:RecentChanges]], and noticed that you made a change to one of the pages. I'm kind of obsessive about doing that, and many other editors here are too. Don't worry about it, it's pretty standard on a [[wiki]] like this one. It's how we make sure that new editors aren't actually vandals coming to trash this wiki. If I sent you a welcome message, I'm probably not too worried about you. (yet...don't push your luck <code>:-)</code>)
* '''User pages''' - You can read all about me on my user page ([[User:RobLa]]). You may have been pointed to this page because you're new here, and hadn't put anything on ''your'' user page. If that's you, then when visiting [[Special:RecentChanges]], you will probably see a red hyperlink associated with your username. I would appreciate it if you filled a little something in there, even if it's "''I'm new here, please help me even though I want to remain anonymous.''" Or "''I'm new here, and here's a webpage you can use to learn more about me: https://www.example.com ''". I get a little fussy about [[pseudoanonymity]], but other users here don't, and have elected not to reveal their real identity. '''Also Note''': if you want to have a user page for ''all'' [[Miraheze]] wikis, please visit [[meta:
* '''Timestamps''' - I'm writing this in the early evening of 2020-05-26 in the [[Pacific timezone]]. However, you'll see from the date above that it's "03:39, 27 May 2020 (UTC)" in [[UTC]], which is the international standard timezone. Since we have editors from all over the [[United States]] and in other parts of the world, we just use "UTC" rather than [[w:Eastern Time Zone|Eastern time]]. See [[UTC]] to learn more about UTC and why we use it here.
* '''Conflict of interest''' -
* '''Code of Conduct''' - well, there's the written code of conduct (found [[Code of Conduct]]) and then the version that exists in my head. I'm starting to develop it over at https://robla.miraheze.org/wiki/Bill_of_Responsibilities , but I haven't articulated enough of it. Regardless, I ask that you treat each other with respect, and that you act like someone that has more questions than answers. I'll probably ask a lot of questions, and some of them might be genuinely dumb questions, but please be patient with me, too.
