Is it just me, or is BGBU seriously in need of a rewrite? It doesn't cover anything about ICUs, QVFD, Pee Review, VFH, or even inserting images in an article. It doesn't even tell you what an article needs to survive (image, proper formatting, wikilinks). – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 19:06 May 04, 2008
- Leave it as it is....I'd like to see a new page based on the Welcome template and a nice BIG image link on the front page of the site saying "New to Uncyclopedia?" Nobody appears to read any of the guidance or help pages at the moment, probably because they are just another series of text links amongst many. Lets have something that stands out a little. -- Sir Mhaille

- I agree with the standing-out. But I think we need a centralized help section that explains everything from ICU to Pee Review to VFH, to what we want in an article. As sort of a reference, rather than required reading, y'know? Because there are people that will read the rules before they join. I read the entire BGBU last year, fer instance. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 19:20 May 04, 2008
- Also, we delete articles and say "read HTBFANJS and BGBU!" but both of those pages are ultimately pointless if the n00b doesn't understand what the hell the site is about in the first place. HTBFANJS = okay, I like this place, I'm gonna write for it. BGBU = hopelessly outdated. Meh. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 19:28 May 04, 2008

- Didn't we rewrite BGBU about the same time last year, or so? If we wanna update it, that's fine with me, though. - P.M., WotM, & GUN, Sir Led Balloon

- Both BGBU and HTBFANJS miss a critical bit: How the site runs. Both of them are about writing, but there's a hell of a lot more than writing that goes on here. – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 19:46 May 04, 2008
- Kinda like Help:Contents? Or, exactly like it? I think BGBU is more about how to get on in the uncyc community, and HTBFANJS is (or should be) about how to write good. I think the beginner's guides should first and foremost be about how to write articles, and then about maintenance and voting. Adding a page into the series about what to do about various tags would be useful though. • Spang • ☃ • talk • 20:19, 04 May 2008
