So you are new to MediaWiki and don't know how it works? You aren't alone. Even Old Jewbo has a bit of trouble here and there. Well... he has more trouble than the average Wikipedophile, even though he runs the joint and is a closet furry. But we digress.

Result of vandalism

MediaWiki isn't an easy piece of shit to use, as there is no user who cares enough about you to help, and the manual on TOW is complete and utter shit, undeserving of even the {{crap}} template. So here are a few A+ pointers to developing your mad wikisk1llz, d00d.

Learning MediaWiki - Basics

Follow this quick tutorial to learn how to blank a page on WikiPedia, and then use a different IP to continue your learning:

Steps

  1. Firstly, you need to create an account on TOW, and click on the thing in the top corner that says Sign in/Create account. Following on, click on the Create new account link, and sign up as "FuckYouWikipedia", with the password as "LOL JEWS".
  2. Find the Featured Article, and click on the Edit tab. Select ALL the text, and press the delete key on your keyboard.
  3. Go down to the edit summary, and enter "Fucking Wikipedo kikes, lol".
  4. Click the Save button.
  5. Repeat until banned.
  6. Once banned, either release/renew your IP, or turn off your modem for a minute, and turn it back on. Continue these steps until you are confident with this procedure.


These are the most important functions that MediaWiki has to offer. Once you have mastered them, you are a certified Wiki-master. Uber kEwL d00d. Next, we will learn how to move pages.

Moving pages

Having completed the previous tutorial, you are now ready to learn how to move pages. This can be a bit tricky, so bear with us:

Steps

  1. Firstly, register a new account on Wikipedia. Go get a drink, and come back three or four days later, so you can start moving whatever you wish.
  2. Now, target an article. Try one that won't be discovered quickly, like Fascism or Furry. Find it, and then click on the tab that says Move. You should reach a screen that has 3 edit boxes.
  3. The top box contains the current article name. Leave that. The second one is the most important one. Now, carefully input an offensive word or phrase, and then click the Move button below.
  4. Repeat until banned.

And there you have it. You are now able to move pages like a pro!

Redirects

Redirects are an integral part of any wiki, and you simply must learn how they work if you are to be of any use, unlike certain people. Here you will learn the basics of redirection.

Steps

  1. Register a Wikipedia account, and find an article that is rather inconspicuous, like Jews.
  2. Erase everything, like in the basics tutorial, but don't save it just yet.
  3. Type in "#redirect [[Bullshit]]", and save. You now have a redirect.
  4. Continue until you are banned, or confident that you can reproduce the redirect without any difficulty whatsoever.

Congratulations, you now can create A+++++ redirects!

Sockpuppet farming

This is an essential element of becoming a successful wiki user. To get further, you need friends. And you don't have any. So why not be your own buddy?

Steps

  1. Register an account on Wikipedia. Then register another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another. And another.
  2. Keep them separate. You don't want to give them away! If one lands into trouble, though, you'll need to change your IP and get your friend outta that shit!
  3. If one gets nominated for adminship, you ALL vote.

This is an essential weapon for your wikiarsenal. Use it.

Fucking over users en masse (for AOL users)

This one is easy. The aim is to get your IP banned, which totally fucks over many other AOL users due to their shitty setup.

Steps

  1. Use an anonymous IP on TOW, and vandalize the fuck out of some pages.
  2. Do so until banned.
  3. Change your IP, and continue doing steps 1 and 2.

This is very, very simple, but is very effective. Have fun!
