What the Wikipedian saw
About -- This page is about behind the scenes of Wikipedia. This is fun a story which anyone can edit freely as long as it isn't deleted.

Welcome to Wikipedia!
Hello and welcome, young Wikipedia user! We are very proud to have you here. This is the behind the scenes look at Wikipedia! You are now one to the few to be many to see what goes on here at Wiki HQ! You will be amazed at the work that goes on in here! Now here we go!

The Entrance
Well now here we are at Wiki HQ! On your left... Wait! It's Bertie, the drinks man. He has been with us for a few days now. Hey a newcomer! Welcome! No Bertie these are the people who want to find out more about whats going on here at Wiki HQ. Oh right! The tour people who your bumping off for the insurance money!

Now edit away young Wiki!

This exclusive acess is brought to you from the great --Darkside2000 (talk) 12:21, 15 April 2008 (UTC) Feel free to send him any messages you like!

The Corridors
Now, to your left you can see the Userbox Creation Room. Inside, we create all userboxes-

"ALERT! NON-FREE IMAGE FOUND! ALERT!"

"ARRRGH! NO, MR. BOT! IT WASN'T MY FAULT! ARRGH!" Moving swiftly on... Now, let's take a right. Now a left. Then a right. Another left. Another right, right? Here is the Userpages corridor. Here are the keys to yours. Now, open the door. At the moment, there's nothing but a brick wall. Press the 'EDIT THIS PAGE' tab up there. Now start writing... (LIGHTS GO OUT) Aw, crud, the server went down!--Editor510 (talk) 16:26, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Now is the perfect chance to show you all my Wiki rehabilitation centre! In here we have many people who have ont aded or edited to wikipdia in a while. And here is the nice sharp pointy objects we use try to convince them to change their ways! BUZZ!!!! YOU WILL EDIT!!!! AAAHHH!!!!! --Darkside2000 (talk) 12:27, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh Ooh OOH! Look! The holy, golden-walled, ceilinged and floored (Hallelujah Chorus plays) Article corridor! It stretches for googol (1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000) miles! Open a door to a category and then find a page! Oop! Nope, that's the adult section, sorry, no access. Look! In here!--Editor510 (talk) 19:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Now you see the different doors stretching to different corridors to different doors...and so on. They are the categories. They are all wiki-linked and it's horribly confusing. That's why you need the balcony-or search engine-to assist you in our journey.--Faizaguo 17:31, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

The editible edit page
This is the dining hall where our cook, Edna cooks all the wonderful food. She has a collection of wooden spoons so she will never run out of them! Anyway some people have died after eating Edna's edits. Mostly vandals so who cares!Darkside2000 (talk) 11:35, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, of course! That was the Cooking area of the building. So, whaddaya wanna see?

Oh, and this is for people other than Darkside. No offence. YOUR PUBLIC NEEDS YOU!

-- Editor510  drop us a line, mate  14:55, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

To Be Continued.....

Oh, and Edna has a fierce temper for anyone who makes disruptive edits! Remember the vandals from paragraph 1? They died in every way possible-but mostly from the curry.--Faizag<b style="color:#600">uo</b><b style="color:#000"></b> 17:28, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Maze
>go South You are in a maze of twisty passages, all alike.
 * wcf Facts are stubborn. Comments? 00:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

You look up and see a Jimbo Shaped Bush, beside it are some shears.Darkside2000 (talk) 13:18, 21 January 2009 (UTC) > take ears "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears," you announce. Your fellow Wikipedians, being generaly obliging folk, respond by spamming your talk page with pictures of their ears. You begin to deeply regret your typo. > go east You are in a maze of twisted articles, all alike. > go west You are in a maze of twisted articles, all alike. > go north You are in a maze of twisted articles, all alike. > go west You are in a maze of twisted articles, all alike. You suddenly realize the reason all these articles are so twisted is because you've stumbled across Portal:Pornography. > Mein eyes! You attempt to claw out your eyes. Your fingernails are dulled from your constant typing, so it doesn't work very well. > use bleach Use bleach with what? > use bleach with brain Your pour the bleach into your ear. It burns, but you feel an immediate relief. However, a few seconds later, you can't remember why, exactly, you feel relieved. > edit amnesia You happily wander off to go edit Amnesia, not remembering that you're in a maze, and that that's just going to get you lost again. On your way, you run into a Jimbo-shaped bush. Beside it are a pair of shears.  Sophus Bie  (talk) 11:27, 13 February 2009 (UTC) >Shears! You notice the pair of shears next to Jimbo-shaped bush, you sort of look and blank a bit at this .. not realizing what sort of bush you are looking at. You stop for a bit, and wonder "Wow, is this a leafy bush, or a george bush? Either way, it needs a trim!". While trimming you get to whistling Katy Perry songs and begin to wonder the world's politics.. and suddenly after a while you find yourself, dazed and confused.. putting the shears down you veer right going south. >go south You're in a maze of political articles dating back to the medieval periods of europe, most are inalike and are amassed with /b/ type lulz. Osharecurry (talk) 09:06, 26 March 2009 (UTC) > inventory You are carrying: > drop user boxes You decide to add levity to these boring political articles with a bit of color and wit. Within moments, however, the article reverts to normal, and a message pops up in your user talk. > read message What the... BLOCKED?! Someone blocked you for adding user boxes to an article? It's signed "User:Runcorn". A suspicious name, if ever you heard of one. You just have to find this Runcorn, so you can take revenge on him/it. Palladmial (talk) 04:22, 7 June 2009 (UTC) > go west You gallivant off in a random direction, intent on finding "Runcorn" and making it pay. However, your navigational skills are still borked from the bleach, so you quickly become even more lost. Eventually, you come to a clearing in the thicket of articles. What you see there takes your breath away. Before you sits the legendary Oracle of Delphi Wiki! It will surely have the answers you need! > ask the Oracle where "Runcorn" can be found The Oracle suggests that you should search for this Runcorn character in real life. You decide to look this "real life" thing up. However, the article for real life isn't even a page long, so you decide that whatever it is, it can't be that important. In fact, you think it might not even qualify as notable. After all, you've never heard of it. > propose real life for deletion Your suggestion is ignored. A few minutes later, you get a message on your talk page suggesting that you take a Wikibreak. However, you know that that's a silly idea; you have to hunt down Runcorn first! You gallivant speedily away from the Oracle, forgetting completely to note how to ever find it again. > hunt down Runcorn You realize that to be so well hidden, Runcorn must be a formidable foe. If you want any hope of defeating him, you must first equip yourself properly! First you must go on a quest, and gain the fabled Sword of Barnstarius! . . . At this point, you remember that you're still lost in a maze of articles. The bleach must be wearing off.  Sophus Bie  (talk) 03:45, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

> Return to Orracle You may create the page "Orracle", but consider checking the search results below to see whether it is already covered. Crap, a typo. > Return to Oracle You attempt to navigate back to the Oracle, but can't recall where it is located.
