Welcome to the Scratchpad community IP $4! Thanks for your edit to $1. Scratchpad is a great place to learn all things wiki!

 Please sign in and create a user name — it’s an easy way to keep track of your edits and helps you communicate with the rest of the community. [1]

It’s now really easy to make a real, full-fledged, free-standing wiki. So, if you’d prefer a separate site for your content, just visit Special:CreateNewWiki and enter the name of that new wiki, and get started! Having a separate wiki gives you lots more options, such as the ability to completely re-design the wiki.

If you need help, you may want to visit the forums on the Community Central Wiki. You may also leave me a message on my talk page. Or, visit Scratchpad’s all-new Help Center.

Happy editing!

[1] Further note to IP-only editors : While such editors are often referred to as “anons”, they are, in fact, less anonymous than editors who create an account and edit while logged in. IP-only editors have their IP address and location revealed with every edit, which unscrupulous hackers can trace right to their front doors. Please see Help:Why create an account?.
