To defeat Ganon and edit his page, please sign up for an account and then wait until you are auto-confirmed.

So, you want to start out on UnAnything? Well, this is a simple guide that will tell you exactly how to do that without blowing up the site and annoying the other users. Yes, we know it's REALLY long. Just read it!

First,

The UnAnything Wiki is a meme-ish/parody wiki that very much isn't Wikipedia. Unlike those guys whose pages are unbiased and fact-checked, we document almost everything in a humorous way and with misinformation. You can make stupid pages/edits on this wiki, like Giant Poop Koopa, for example. But most importantly, it is best when the pages you write are funny and/or interesting. Unfunny articles may or may not get deleted.

Below is some semi-important stuff to the world of our creation. We recommend that you read them so you understand this wiki's universe and lore better.

Characters

The UnAnything Universe

UnAnything History

Entertainment

UnAnything offers a wide variety of spoofs on entertainment, like for example a Shame (play on the word "Game") is a video game based off of something like Mario, Sonic, Pac-Man, Master Chief, or even the Teletubbies. But there's also many spoof movies like Fatman: The Movie, and spoofs on shows like Teletubbies (TV Series).

Rules

You can make up your own characters, companies, places, and whatever as well as make pages/edits about already existing ones so long as you don't break the rules. Yes, even UnAnything has rules. We hate rules too, but we need them so things don't get out of control. In addition to this, you should simply use your common sense to know what and what not to do. So please read our rules:

How To Edit A Page

If you do not know how to edit a page, then you are a lost cause it is very simple. First click on the "Edit" button, which can be found on the top of any page. Then, you will be taken to the editor with a bunch of tools and stuff. Explore the editor for yourself or read up on Fandom's Help:Editing guide, or watch some YouTube videos to get a feel on both the Visual and Source editors. Eventually you'll wish to learn the Source editor, but that's not important right now.

Having users edit pages is how we have so much content on UnAnything. We greatly appreciate the help of anyone willing to add to our vast encyclopedia of nonsense. We recommend you go study pages like Mario, Po, and Captain 0's Pizza in both the Visual Editor and the Source Editor, to understand how we format pages and use templates here.

Headings

If an article is long enough to have sections, use headers to divide these sections. Here are some ideas for headers separated by genre if you need ideas, or are needing a vague idea how to order them:

  • People: Personality, Biography, Abilities, Powers, Riches, Inventions, Childhood, Early Life, Life, Adulthood, Late Life, Love Life, Fate, Return, Death, Rebirth, Relationships, Associates, Colleagues
  • Shames: Shameplay, Characters, Enemies, Bosses, Weapons, Powerups, Modes, Worlds, Multiplayer, Glitches, Tricks, Secrets
  • Media: Story, Plot, Characters, Reception, Reviews, Spinoffs, Shames, Movies, Books, Sequels, Releases, Cancelled Releases, Differences (regional, console, pc, etc), Products
  • Stuff: Creation, Manufacturing, Uses, Unintended Uses, Destiny, People who've X'd Y, Religion, Owner/Owners, Settings
  • Organizations: Members, Structure, Government, Rulers, Beginnings, Bankruptcy, Closure, Army, Flags
  • History: History, Origin/Origins, Legacy, Rise, Downfall, Today, Spread, Folklore
  • General: Appearance, Gallery, Trivia, See Also, References

Categories

When editing a page, you can put categories on it. You can go to the bottom of the page and do this without opening up the editors. Categories are used to show what groups various pages fit in. If it is the page of a character, you add Category:Guys. If it is the page for a gun, you would add Category:Stuff, Category:Weapons, and Category:Guns. Pages can have many categories, depending on the topic.

You can add any category to a page. Any you can think of. But just because you can, doesn't mean you should. First, the category should actually fit the page. Do not add Bowser to the Birds category. Does he look like a bird to you? If you're not sure if a page fits in a category, read the description of the category. If you add a category that is ridiculously irrelevant, we might just facepalm, followed by annihilating you with a rocket launcher.

Also, you should try to use categories that are already in use if possible. A list of the most commonly used categories can be found here. This is to avoid the use of categories that only have one page in them. (This used to be quite a problem in UnAnything.) If you want to make your own category, go ahead! Just make sure it makes sense, and you put in many pages that fit the category description. If you're not sure, just ask.

How to add a Video

BREAKFAST

BREAKFAST

Caption!

Unfortunately, you have to manually upload the video but I'll show you how. For this example we'll be using BREAKFAST. Do the following:

  1. Go to Special:NewFiles and click "Add Video" and get your video up.
  2. Go to the page you're editing and press the picture icon on the top, your video should be whatever it's called on the Special:NewFiles page. If a video's title doesn't match what it's called on the wiki, like File:Black Frost's dance moves doesn't match the YouTube title "You Hee-Ho'd In The Wrong Neighborhood", you then search "File:Black Frost's dance moves" when adding it. But for BREAKFAST it's simple and you just search breakfast.

If you can't find your video in the editor, you either need to refresh the page you're editing or you NEED to use the source editor to add the video:

  1. After the file's up on the wiki, go to the file's page and then copy the end part of the url, the stuff after the last slash, you'll need it for later. So like at https://unanything.fandom.com/wiki/File:BREAKFAST you copy "File:BREAKFAST".
  2. Go edit the page and make something that looks like this on a new line: [[File:BREAKFAST|thumb|400px|Caption!]]

And then you get the video to the right since with "thumb" it's a thumbnail that wraps around the text, you can do more easy adjustments in visual editor, you're done now!

Grammur/Spellin

on unanything we prid rselves in exlent splling 'n grmmr But seriously, we're not here to look like idiots. That's what Facebook is for. The only time you should use bad grammar or spelling is when it is both intentional and funny (that last part was italicized to show it is important). This page is an excellent example of terrible grammar done right.

Creating Pages

To create a page, press this button. (If the button is red, then you have to go to the page you want to make by typing in the address to your browser's search bar, and then click "Create PAGENAME!" on the 404 screen.)

For more information, see UnAnything Wiki:Editing Rules. Also check out Help:Vesta's Guide to Character Creation.

Also, understand that when you create a page, it is not "your" page. The second you click publish, it is one of the many articles on UnAnything. Anybody is allowed to edit it whenever they want. However, you may not edit someone else's user page unless you have a good reason to do so (like fixing or updating the templates).

Profile

You can add userboxes to yourself, there's a wide variety and it's really hard almost simple to make your own!

Almost Done...

Finally, have fun! Go and add your spam and lame jokes onto all of our pages! (Not really. Spam is against the rules, and lame jokes are lame.)

Feel free to ask an administrator for help if you have any questions! We don't bite, honest! A list of admins can be found here.

Becoming Powerful

After you've been editing here a while, more options open up to you. Below is how to become a staff member around here. Subject to terms and conditions of there being too much staff, as laid out in the rules.

  • The way you become an Administrator, Content Moderator, or Rollback is by actively editing and maintaining the wiki. This can be done by writing high quality articles, expanding existing articles, writing pages from red links, reverting vandalism, assisting staff members, and generally helping out the community. When you feel like you've worthy of receiving rights, send a Bureaucrat (or another appropriate member) an application and they will decide if you're worthy.
  • The way you become a Discussions Moderator is by actively partaking in discussions and helping people when they need it. Though people don't usually request this right, and the forums are usually well-managed by the Administrators. But still, if you think you're exceptional at the task: just send a Bureaucrat or Administrator an application and they will decide if you're worthy.
  • To become an interactive map tester: you just need to ask.
  • If you want to become a Bureaucrat, you must discuss it with all Bureaucrats. If they agree you're worthy, you will join them.

Another way to become powerful is to become The Chair. You can petition your local senator MP administrator to add you to one of the polls when those come around.

If there are no active Administrators/Bureaucrats, please leave a message at the wiki adoption requests page and Fandom staff can provide you the rights.
