Main Page

Welcome to WikiDope, the wiki that's all about the Straight Dope Message Board!

There are many, many articles that need to be written. Everyone should add themselves to the List of members- and when you add your name, your name should link to the page you write about yourself. NOTE: These are NOT 'user:' pages like on Wikipedia when you write a page about you, the user on the wiki; these are pages you write about your user on SDMB; for instance, an article will be named 'Guinastasia,' and might include her hobbies, interests, etc, like a Myspace page would. If you don't feel like writing all that stuff, please at least make a page for your user name and write in it your gender, age, and race/nationality (if you are comfortable with doing that; you don't have to); these are the things that people most often wonder about when reading the posts of a user on SDMB.

And everyone should write pages that explain the inside jokes and important figures from SDMB history (Just think- you'll never have to explain an inside joke to a newbie again! :D); and you can start pages that contain other important info, like board acronyms, board rules, etc. (just please check the list below before you make any article); and everyone should add links to threads on the 'Recommended reading' lists (these are lists of the great threads in SDMB history- imagine, you'll never have to tell a newbie this again either!!!), and could someone please replace the Wikia logo in the top left corner with the SD banner logo from the SDMB site?

Yes, I know that some of the articles I've started below violate board rules- but that's okay, because this is not an official site of the SDMB. If it's not okay, tell me so in the discussion page for this Main Page here. Please, tell me to stop first- I can't moderate everything, so it's not like I can stop people from defacing and erasing articles, so please, I ask you kindly not to.

I want there to be a complete list of every page we make; that list will be right here on the Main Page, as you can see below. Each time you make a major page, please add it to the list. What constitutes 'major?' Like, pages that are not minor pages like ones about individual users or topics.

Thanks!
