''Please note: This article is intended for those editors, new to ED, who nonetheless have experience in wiki use.''

===Introduction===
If you are reading this, you are probably a [[Mexican|migrant]] to ED. Having escaped your unfunny homeland, you have managed to swim oceans to reach that great nation of [[W|freedom]] and [[lulz]], [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]]. What you need to learn is that while you may think you can ignore the newbie advice, we do things differently here. Don't bring your filthy habits into [[ED]], you scum. And don't sleep with our women, either. We don't want our blood watered down by your filth.


==Major differences between [[ED]] and [[TOW|lesser]] [[Uncyclopedia|wikis]]==
* The Asterisk: When you comment in people's talk pages to tell them how they [[Fellatio|suck]], please use the asterisk- NOT the colon. It's minor, but it's policy.

* When you find a shitty article, PLEASE, add some lulz?

* Article deletion/reversion: We try to deal with issues as quickly as possible. At ED, admins are encouraged to act intelligently and independently, and so, for example, a poor article will be deleted not by VfD, but through a [[Criteria for Speedy Deletion|speedier]] process known as "pressing the delete button".

* Site administration: Please remember that as ED is a [[Girlvinyl|Sherrod]]ocracy, we are not ruled by committee. This dislike of committees is prevalent throughout this wiki, so if you have a problem with an admin, just tell another admin: If the first one is seen to have acted inappropriately, the second will redress the issue.

* Article relevance: Encyclopedia Dramatica is specifically a wiki relating to the [[internets]], [[lulz]] and [[drama]]. The first of these is generally considered to be the most important: lulz and drama should be '''internet''' lulz and drama. In general, an article will have to be truly hilarious to survive if it isn't connected to the Internet in some way.

* [[ED IRC]]: This is an important part of Encyclopedia Dramatica, as it allows faster communication between editors. Please use it whenever you're on ED. The [[Thizzlehat Junction Center]] (aka [[TJC]]) is also invaluable. 
* Vandalism: Enyclopedia Dramatica, despite the allegations of Wikipedia, is not a vandalism wiki. While ED does not attempt to regulate the actions of its users outside this website, ED does not organize, support or otherwise condone vandalism; nor does ED organize or support raids and/or trolling campaigns. If that's what you're looking for, try the [http://insurgen.info/wiki/Main_Page /i/nsurgency Wiki].

* Attack articles: Again, due to untrue allegations by other wikis, you may be under the perception that ED is an attack site. We are not; we are a [[lulz]] site. Attacking people is fine so long as there is [[lulz]] in it; if there is no lulz, there will shortly be no article. If the target of the article attempts to vandalise or blank it, that creates lulz, so please make sure that the subject knows what you said about them.
