At Uncyclopedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but it certainly is a fun and easy way to express your creativity. To write an article, it's recommended that you start it in your userspace (for example, User:B1KWikis/Article about stuff) so you can edit it at your leisure. If you decide to create it in the cold world of mainspace, make sure it is in accordance with the policies laid out above, and if you're not done put the "Work-In-Progress" template - {{construction}} - onto it as well.

If the current colonization doesn't suit your fancy, then browse our rewrite and idea categories. We have lots of articles just sitting around for someone to improve, so don't be afraid - dive right in!

If you need help, ask me on my talk page, ask at the Dump, or ask an administrator on their talk page. Additionally, the Uncyclopedian Adopt-a-Noob program is there to bring experienced editors straight to you. Simply leave a message on an adopter's talkpage to join. Again, welcome! 

I'm not sure if the quality police will approve of your entry, but I find it rather amusing. Welcome to Uncyclopedia and please get to work, comrade enjoy your stay.--Respond 00:25, April 26, 2011 (UTC)

Aye; problem is, you can't just dump a draft and expect other people to clean it up. Sometimes they do, but more often the only other folks to edit it'll just wind up making it worse... this ain't like Wikipedia - articles generally have specific ideas to them, and usually the original creators are the ones that know those best, and thus would have the best idea where they're going as well as the ability to fine-tune them. Also, people are a really lazy, here. Please, keeps working, read the formatting guides and whatnot, and make it something people will want to read, not something pleading for them to fix it for you. It does have potential. 1234 ~ 05:55, 26 April 2011

Hey Lyrithya, thanks for fixing the namespace on my umm, script thing... I was relying on someone with a little more experience to give a tip. – Preceding unsigned comment added by B1KWikis (talk • contribs)

Regarding your comment on my talk page yes, those numbers essentially signify how much has been added or removed from an article. It makes spotting vandalism far easier when we are checking recent changes. --ChiefjusticePS3 07:43, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the info --B1K-- 21:24, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Ehhhh

Don't mind me, but what the hell do all these sub-pages actually do? -- Frosty dah snowguy contribs GUN PLEB 04:00, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

I came here to ask the same thing, actually. You have a shit-ton subpages that you're always adding to and I'm confused as to what you're actually doing with them. Fill us in, please! – Sir Skullthumper, MD (criticize • writings • critchat) 20:06 May 31, 2011

I tricked the S.O.B into putting my template

Problem solved, trolls rejoi-ahem- Admins rejoice.

You've been trolled -_-

lol, Did you guys know this guy was trolling you the whole time he was here?

He has a page on encyclopedia dramaticae

Here's an example of why Uncyclopedia is lacking in the moderation department

Note: this is a re-post from uncyclopedia's wikia mirror. Database information on this site may differ.

B1K here, coming back 4 years later after re-stumbling on this site to post a short story about what happened that got me banned, and as a result, what's wrong with this website's power-abusive moderation team. This will be my final post here, so there will be no need to IP block me.

Basically, I got banned for editing pages in the user space allotted to me in this site, as a personal sandbox. You know, the userspace that I have every right to use, as per signing up for this site.

Apparently, it's against some (made-up) rule to use your own userspace to spam edits. Honing your understanding of MediaWiki formatting? Fuck that, you're banned!

I don't know about the other moderators, but one of them definitely abuses his power. A moderator by the name of Ljlego--the one who banned me for using my own userspace. This is something that would never conceivably happen in Wikipedia, Wikia, Encyclopedia Dramatica, or any similar site thereof. Why? Because they repsect their userbase.

The thing about users is that they control your traffic. If you alienate your users, you lose traffic. Hell, they might even come back with sockpuppet accounts and anti-ban proxy servers to haunt you for your actions, making edits to pages that discourage potential users from showing the site patronage. I've seen it happen before on Wikipedia, too many times to count. That's why so many of their pages are edit-protected. Guys, Ljlego is doing damage to your site's well-being. This is the first time in 4 years that I've been to this site. And I don't plan on coming back any time soon. What does that mean for ads? Donations? Sure, you can blow me off as insignificant, since I'm just one person, but this is about principle. We, your users, are the people that keep your site alive. You should show us some damn respect.

In the end, I was banned for a nonsense reason, by an overzealous moderator who abuses his power, and knew that I didn't know enough about the site's infrastructure to get a hold of the moderators who are actually sensible. Since I was never a popular user, obviously no one has actually SEEN the ludicrous ban message. Here, I'll paste it for you in full, so everyone can read it:

• 03:51, June 1, 2011 Ljlego (talk | contribs) blocked B1KWikis (talk | contribs) with an expiry time of infinite (33 non-userspace edits since you joined. Bug me when you want to do something constructive.) <-- this is not a valid reason

The "non-userspace edits" he's referring to are the few light edits I made to articles to correct their sloppy grammar, make their formatting better, etc. And I learned how to make those formatting edits by experimenting in my user-space. The point of pushing the template system to its limits, trying every formatting trick in the book, and experimenting with "wiki-programming", was to learn how to use the system so that I could make contributions to this site and Wikipedia, and Ljlego banned me before I could implement.

So basically, if you don't make nonsense pages lacking in cohesive content that just make random non-jokes and aren't funny, you don't deserve to have an account on this site. Even though I made 33 edits, which is pretty damn good for the short period of time I was here.

So yeah, sure sounds like a solid policy! Oh wait, that's nowhere to be found in the rules. Hmm...

-B1KWikis, signing off.

Edit: I just got re-banned on the other side for "ban evasion and drama". The guy who banned me replied to me, saying that I was "abusing other users". Excuse me? All I did was post a polite request on one admin's talk page to review my story, and let me know if I was correct, and if not, link me to the rule that I was violating (here's a screencap with the email censored. If you want my email, you'll have to reply to this and refrain from IP banning me so that I can actually post it.). He did not do that, and instead made flat assertions with no evidence nor documentation to back it up. This is exactly what I was talking about. You show no respect for your users--your most precious resource--and have, in turn, succeeded in alienating a user. But does it end at just one? How disfunctional will this site have to get before it's finally run into the ground, like a ghost town? This site can't possibly prosper with the current attitude of its moderation team.
