All Wikipedia users are welcome to create a guestbook and give permission to other users to sign it. Guestbooks are a method to show courtesy and build camaraderie; if one values another's contributions, they can sign their guestbook (assuming they have one) to show support.
Creating your own guestbook
editUsers can easily create a guestbook at User:(Your name)/Guestbook. You can ask other users to sign it by placing a link to it in your user page.
Signing another user's guestbook
editOther users can sign the guestbook by putting the sharp character (#
) and their username, followed by their name and a message. You may also use the sharp character and sign four tildes (~~~~
). This will show your signature and the timestamp.
Example:
editCaution
editAfter you have created your guestbook...
edit- Do not beg others to sign your guestbook. Users eventually will come to see your user page, and many will click your guestbook and sign it without being asked.
- Don't ask a user to sign your guestbook by posting that message on a talk page.
- Be patient. Users will eventually come. After all, you should not be here only to see who signed your guestbook...
- Don't give barnstars out just for signing a guestbook. It devalues the barnstar process.
Good examples
editLet's say that this was a fellow user's guestbook.
- Good Example -- Hi!
- Good Example 2 -- You're great! Thanks!
- Good Example 3 -- +1 to you!
Bad examples
edit- Bad Example -- Please sign my guestbook!
- Bad Example 2 -- Since I signed your guestbook... PLS sign mine!
- Bad Example 3 -- This is fun! I also have a guestbook. Please sign it!
When signing another user's guestbook
edit- Only sign using your name. Messages of support and encouragement are encouraged, but ultimately it is up to you!
- Generally don't post any pictures with your message -- this is a guestbook, not a scrapbook.
- Like the examples above, don't ask other users to sign your guestbook via another user's guestbook.
- You are here to build an encyclopedia: Do not spend your time only signing guestbooks. It may be fun, but users may see you as someone using Wikipedia as a social media platform than an encyclopedia.
- Guestbooks are not a soapbox.
