Overview
HRWiki, or the Homestar Runner Wiki, is a wiki founded by The Brothers Chaps (Malik and Marquez Chapman) in 2002 to help expand the influence of their mind-altering web-cartoon, Homestar Runner. By allowing "users" to "edit" data about the politically subversive, occasionally funny "Flash" cartoon, the Brothers Chaps have enlisted — free of charge — a legion of researchers, typists, programmers, fact-finders, fact-checkers, check-finders, and find-checkers to their poorly-animated cause.
Once users "log in" to the HRWiki, the saying goes, "you can never leave." Or, "in space, no one can hear you scream." No, that was Alien with Sigourney Weaver. Maybe there is no saying — Jumping Mohammed on a trampoline, I just can't say, and Terry the short-sighted research assistant is out today with the what I can only hope isn't the avian flu! Oh, Terry, why did you have to eat that raw waterfowl you got FedEx'd from Laos? What am I ever going to do without Terry? What will become of this article? What will become of Uncyclopedia!?!?
AAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAA!
Ahem. Moving on.
Purpose of HRWiki
As previously stated, HRWiki is the brainchild of the Brothers Chaps. Although Malik is credited with designing the site, Marquez is the one who regulates the content and activity, ensuring "nothing goes wrong" because he "knows what's best." Marquez spends upwards of twelve hours a day (beginning at 6:00AM ET) drinking no less than seventeen cans of Diet Dr Pepper and making sure the content of HRWiki fits the ultimate vision of the Brothers Chaps.
Their ultimate vision is two-fold:
1) to make "Homestar Runner" a bigger household name than "Snarf"1
2) to one day create a cartoon over ten minutes in length, and then have a legion of hapless HRWiki users create a complete transcript, subtitles in 12 different laguages (including Klingon, Elvish and Hebrew), list of facts, references, DVD Commentary, and trivia in under ten minutes.
HRWiki Users
Much like any wiki, HRWiki is no different. It is a wiki. And, as a wiki, it has users. Some of these users are even not banned for life. These are those types of users listed in various (four) castes (classes) that will be explained clearly for your information.
Sysops
25% of HRWiki users are sysops, numbering in the hundreds. Sysops at HRWiki are all great guys and gals. All of 'em. They do good things, real good things. They keep things regulated there, they do. They certainly do. Lots of good ideas, those sysops. Good ideas, do good things. Nothing bad to say about them. not one thing. Not...hey, what the fuck! I've been banned from HRWiki! But I didn't say anything negative! I'm not even at HRWiki! *sniff* Guess I'll have to have a good cry over a warm glass of Sudzu. Oh wait, that's not how to spell suudsu. Get me a fact-checker, post-haste!
Normal Users
75% of HRWiki users fall into this category. Normal users is somewhat of a misnomer, as these are people who voluntarily choose to document a website. Like, not a movie, or a celebrity, or a television show, or a book. Like, holy crap, a website. Normal HRWiki users are all "gnomes" and aspire one day to be sysops, which they will never be. These folks actually know what The Cheat is saying and delight in organizing, re-organizing, and re-re-organizing things until they are "just right" and then re-organizing them again.
Users with the Mentality of 13 Year-Olds
These users comprise 45% of HRWiki users. Users with the Mentality of 13 Year-Olds - or UM13s - may not actually be 13, but you'd never know the difference. Such users have their own website, blog, and use HRWiki while attending public school or community college. Possessing thin skin, UM13s are quick to anger and highly resistant to logic and regulation. They also consider the work of Adam Sandler to be the funniest thing since Andrew Dice Clay.
Vandals
Vandals constitute between 33% and 66% of the remaining users at HRWiki. Despite the efforts of the sysops to defeat the vandals, the vandals always find a way to maliciously edit easily corrected source code, often rendering HRWiki temporarily imperfect for seconds on end. Favorite vandal tactics are page blanking (where they momentarily erase a page), inserting various profanities (which causes the well-heeled HR users' monocles to fall out), and variations of "(insert HR character name here) IS GAY."
Example of usual vandal work:
Original page: Homestar runner is a strange character with no arms and legs. he seems to...
Vandal page: BULLSHIT MOTHER FUCKER THIS GUY FUCKING SUCK POOP LOL!! I! 11!
THIS PORTION OF UNCYCLOPEDIA IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY HRWIKI: "WE'RE THE WIKI ABOUT HOMESTAR"
HRWiki is a fun way for Homestar Runner fans to get together and talk about all things Homestar Runner! Or, a fun way for Homestar Runner fans to come together and argue with each other about all things Homestar Runner! Or, a place for Homestar Runner fans with a limited understanding of wiki etiquette and rudimentary English skills to come together and engage in petty arguments, heated name calling, and pointless flamewars with one another in the name of Homestar Runner! So, come on down and see what we're all about - and make sure to spend, spend spend at the H*R On-line Store!
