Speculation has to do with looking into things with no factual basis; talking about what things ''could be'' instead of what things ''are''. This wiki doesn't document speculation because it cannot be proven true. However, we do have a [http://forum.hrwiki.org/ forum] for open discussion where speculation is welcome.

Think about that idea - Would you have liked to read an encyclopedia with speculation? Say you read about some president, and at the end of the article someone speculates that he thinks the president did some nasty things but doesn't give any evidence.

Just because we constantly get speculation does not mean we should make an article for it. Your house gets dirty all the time, right? That doesn't mean you should make a room for dirt to keep it in; it means you should clean the whole place. Unreasonable speculation doesn't belong on any article in our wiki, no matter what, just like dirt doesn't belong in your house.

Hmmm... Since the link to TvTropes almost always appear in running text, I don't think a logo next to it would look good. Try to imagine how all the Fun Facts would look if every link had a W Wikipedia logo next to it. The text would be unreadable. Favicons next to links are almost always used for bulleted links like Watch. But I ''do'' support adding TvTropes to the list of sites we use this sort of wikilinks.

Speculation?
I commented on a discussion and someone said that my thing was "just speculation". Is there a definition on this wiki for "speculation"? I'm confused with the whole thing... doctorwho295 22 March 2010
Speculation has to do with looking into things with no factual basis; talking about what things could be instead of what things are. This wiki doesn't document speculation because it cannot be proven true. However, we do have a forum for open discussion where speculation is welcome. You have to create a separate account over there. as for the discussion in question, there is no way to prove what kind of disease any of them have, and any guesses as to what disease it could be can't be proven true. hope this helps 
The Knight[/wiki/Special:Contributions/The_Knights_Who_Say_Ni s Who] Say Ni 
18:52, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
I just wanted to add something. Do you think we should do a page on speculation for all the users? Just looking at numerous discussions, I noticed that about 15% of them were speculation. Is that a big enough issue to address? Should we wait and see if there is more? doctorwho295 30 March 2010
Think about that idea - Would you have liked to read an encyclopedia with speculation? Say you read about some president, and at the end of the article someone speculates that he thinks the president did some nasty things but doesn't give any evidence. That's not a very good encyclopedia, if you ask me. Any knowledge you gain becomes immediately questionable.
But since we know that people in their nature like to read about others' opinions, the set up The Forum so you can speculate, talk, discuss, jibber, jabber, and say what you want about Homestar. — Elcool(talk)[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Elcool (contribs)] 04:58, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
So, yes? No? It doesn't matter if there is a forum, people still put speculation on the pages and in the discussions. I'm an amateur, so the page would come out... well... bad. If anyone can help out that would be great. doctorwho295 2 April 2010
Just because we constantly get speculation does not mean we should make an article for it. Your house gets dirty all the time, right? That doesn't mean you should make a room for dirt to keep it in; it means you should clean the whole place. Unreasonable speculation doesn't belong on any article in our wiki, no matter what, just like dirt doesn't belong in your house. Heimstern Läufer

I forgot that the function is tied to the specific user, and so I had to edit out my name. When I did, it automatically changed again.

The Other Other wiki
Seeing how we seem to rely on TVTropes more (in fact, I found the website through the HRWiki) should we have a new link for it, like the Wikipedia and Youtube? I'm thinking it should be the trademark T with a lampshade on it (lampshade hanging?). Does that sound like a good idea? I know of at least three pages that link there, all made within the year. --Jellote wuz [/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jellote here] 14:35, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

We'll ruin your life.
Hmmm... Since the link to TvTropes almost always appear in running text, I don't think a logo next to it would look good. Try to imagine how all the Fun Facts would look if every link had a W Wikipedia logo next to it. The text would be unreadable. Favicons next to links are almost always used for bulleted links like Watch.

We know about sockpuppet accounts. In fact, Eggs tree was actually caught trying to create two sockpuppet accounts. We like to think we're pretty good at catching them. The Knight[/wiki/Special:Contributions/The_Knights_Who_Say_Ni s Who] Say Ni 18:06, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
Patrol indicator
Why does almost every edit in RC have ! next to them? Is it just me? nova scotia 21:46, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
It just means they havn't been patrolled. cash money t[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Cash_Money c] 21:52, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
Oh. Well that must be something new because I've never seen that before on any wiki... nova scotia 22:04, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
If you mean wikia, then that's understandable, as most free-to-make or remote hosted wikis do not use media wiki, or--like InvisionFree for Invision Power Board--use a heavily modified and stripped down version of it. ColdReactive 22:50, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
You are incorrect. Wikia does, in fact, use MediaWiki, as do most of the others. — Defender1031*Talk 23:07, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
That's why I said the latter portion. ColdReactive 23:43, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
Official Twitter account
It seems likely that homestarrunner and hrwiki are the "official" twitter feeds. Shouldn't this be listed somewhere? Who maintains them? - J. J. http://zepfanman.com 05:35, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Hmmm... I don't know who maintains hrwiki, but it seems almost identical to homestarrunner. The same bit.ly links even, and the updates are one the same minute. I don't really knows how these things work... Can it be a bot or something? Anyone of the other sysops know who made the hrwiki account? — Elcool(talk)[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Elcool (contribs)] 06:18, 19 April 2010 (UTC) Well, it appears to me that since the only person homestarrunner is following is hrwiki, and vice-versa. Think these two accounts might be ran by the same person (or at least ran by a bot)? nova scotia 06:32, 19 April 2010 (UTC) Somebody else registered homestarrunner and then later gave it to us. We registered hrwiki so no one else would. We didn't have much use for them, so we set them up to list updates to the official site. We control the feeds, but they're not "official" any more than our list of what's new on the main page is official. We don't publicize them because there are [/wiki/Special:Updates more] better ways to get a feed of updates. — It's dot com 18:31, 19 April 2010 (UTC) So who's the person who actually adds the updates themselves? — Elcool(talk)[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Elcool (contribs)] 18:54, 19 April 2010 (UTC) If I understand Dot com correctly, it's a bot that just reads our changes to {{whatsnew}} and reports them. — Defender1031*Talk 22:15, 19 April 2010 (UTC) Yes, although it's indirect. Changes to our what's new section are reported in our [/wiki/Special:Updates RSS feed], and twitterfeed uses that to update the Twitter accounts. — It's dot com 22:52, 19 April 2010 (UTC) Ah, I see. Now all we need is to use that Facebook application that updates from Twitter, and then dump to statuses in an RSS feed, and the circle of Web 2.0 will be complete :P. — Elcool(talk)[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Elcool (contribs)] 04:26, 20 April 2010 (UTC) ...I can make a Facebook account... nova scotia 04:37, 20 April 2010 (UTC) JoeyDay already made one some time ago. It's very inactive. How about we actually try to revive it? — Elcool(talk)[/wiki/Special:Contributions/Elcool (contribs)] 04:51, 20 April 2010 (UTC) Wow, REALLY inactive. March 2009 and the post was ":)". (also, I saw you post on the wall of the hrwiki B) nova scotia 05:08, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
