{{subst:HD/del}}
Symbol move vote.svg Please see Your first article. If you'd like help going through the steps below, try the Article Wizard.
  1. Ensure that you have an account and you are logged in. If you don't have an account, create one
  2. Learn the basics of editing with the WikiQueer:Tutorial
  3. Make sure the subject is notable enough to warrant a stand-alone article
  4. Gather reliable sources to cite in the article
  5. Make sure no article on the subject exists under a different title by typing the subject into the search box and clicking 'Search'
  6. Type the page name in the search box and click 'Go'
  7. Click 'Create this page'
  8. Create the article, including all your references, making sure you adhere to the Manual of Style and our article layout guidelines
  9. Be aware that WikiQueer deletes thousands of new articles for failing to adhere to our policies and guidelines. New articles by new users are at extra risk of deletion, due to new users' unfamiliarity with our rules. Consider gaining experience by editing existing articles before attempting to create new ones.

Pictogram voting delete.svg Please do your own homework.

Welcome to the WikiQueer Help desk. Your question appears to be a homework question. I apologize if this is a misevaluation, but it is our policy here not to do people's homework for them, but merely to aid them in doing it themselves. Letting someone else do your homework does not help you learn how to solve such problems.
Please attempt to solve the problem yourself first. You can search WikiQueer or search the Web.
If you need help with a specific part of your homework, the Reference desk can help you grasp the concept. Do not ask knowledge questions here, just those about using WikiQueer.

{{subst:HD/dyoh}}
Pictogram voting delete.svg Please do not vandalise.

Welcome to the WikiQueer Help desk. Your question appears to be pure vandalism. I apologize if this is a misevaluation, but it is our policy here to warn, and eventually block, users who disrupt the encyclopedia building project.
If you have a question about how to use WikiQueer, feel free to ask it. If you see a problem: fix it yourself!

Crystal Clear app utilities.pngThank you for your suggestion regarding page. When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. WikiQueer is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit link at the top. The WikiQueer community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes — they're likely to be found and corrected quickly. If you're not sure how editing works, check out how to edit a page, or use the sandbox to try out your editing skills. New contributors are always welcome. You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). {{subst:HD/fix|page}}
Pictogram voting comment.svg The most common cause of this problem is that you clicked on the Show Preview button instead of the Save Page Button:

If you do not click on Save Page, the edit will not be kept.

Pictogram voting comment.svg It used to be possible to re-attribute edits from IP addresses to named accounts in the software WikiQueer runs on (MediaWiki), but not since 2005 (see this page). However, as that page says, you can list your contributions made with the IP address(es) on your user page. {{subst:HD/re-attribute}}
Symbol move vote.svg If you go to WikiQueer:Enable mobile version on your mobile device and click on the link there, you will re-enable the mobile version. {{subst:HD/mobile}}
Symbol move vote.svg Sharebox is a script that reorders your toolbox. It adds new buttons that make it easier to mail, print or share an article on Facebook or another linksharing service. You must have an account to add Sharebox to the sidebar. {{subst:HD/share}}
Symbol move vote.svg We have an Article Feedback Tool that is in a pilot deployment as of September 22, 2010. Only a few articles have the feedback tool— they are in the hidden Category:Article Feedback Pilot. You can ask more questions at the discussion page for the Article Feedback Tool workgroup. {{subst:HD/tablesort}}
Symbol move vote.svg When creating sortable tables, there can be issues with how a column sorts. See Help:Sorting for a complete overview.
  • Columns that mix alpha and numerical data will sort alphabetically— this can be resolved by using {{nts}}.
  • When using general text with and without wikilinks, use {{sort}}.
  • To sort dates, use {{dts}}.
  • For sorting names in the format last, first use {{sortname}}.
{{subst:HD/like}}
Symbol move vote.svg WikiQueer's software, MediaWiki currently has no method to control content other than manually blocking individual images for logged-in users. See also WQ:NOTCENSORED, WQ:CHILDPROTECT and WikiQueer:Guidance for younger editors. {{subst:HD/filter}}
Symbol move vote.svg URLs containing certain characters will display and link incorrectly unless those characters are encoded. For example, a space must be replaced by %20.
sp " , '  ; < >  ? [ ]
 %20  %22  %2c  %3a  %3b  %3c  %3e  %3f  %5b  %5d

Single apostrophes do not need to be encoded; multiples will be parsed as italic or bold markup

{{subst:HD/url}}
Symbol move vote.svg It is not possible to delete user accounts, as all contributions must be assigned to some identifier; either a username or an IP address.

All WikiQueer editors have the right to leave WikiQueer for good (ie, permanently). The usual way to leave the WikiQueer project is simply to stop editing. Your contributions remain in WikiQueer. If you wish to resume editing at a later date, you can simply start again by logging into the same account. Old accounts that have any significant edits are almost never deleted or recycled to new users.

If you decide to make a fresh start and do not wish to be connected to a previous account, you can simply discontinue the old account(s) and create a new one that becomes the only account you use. Discontinuing the old account means it will not be used again; it should note on its user page that it is inactive— for example, with the {{retired}} tag —to prevent the switch being seen as an attempt to sock puppet.

Editors seeking privacy per their right to vanish can have their accounts renamed and their user pages and (in some cases) user talk pages deleted.
