Kernellius:

Hello, my alias is Kernellius. I am a regular lurker and sometimes poster of BoyChat.

I am a college student majoring in Chemistry and Psychology but that shouldn't necessarily affect my ability to contribute to other articles.
This is my first time as a Scribe or contributor to a Wiki but I am very fluent in the function/style of Wikipedia. It is actually probably my favorite website and I have a lot of respect for it and the people who make it what it is.

About me:

I am 21 years old, a little younger then the average [[BoyChat]] poster and thus able to provide ONE perspective on thoughts of a Millennial. I was born in 1992 but I do believe many would consider me to be within that taxonomy of generations.

One other significant fact that has importance here: I am not a [[BoyLover]]. I am however a supporter of intergenerational rights. Since puberty I have been attracted to men significantly older than me and thus the politics of ALL affairs relating to intergenerational relationships of intimacy or platonic love are of interest to me. Some would call me a [[Gerontophile]] and I have taken to use that word. I don't feel that it connotes illness - just a different sexuality. Despite my age, I am not inexperienced in intergenerational dating & friendship. I have personally sought out emotional and sometimes physical relationships with older men since the age of 15 - none off these relationships were against my will - all consensual.

I currently live with my partner, whom I have been dating for nearly two years now.

I will continue to update this and perfect it with time - just felt this page necessary as a start.

==<center>How do I become a [[Scribe]] and get editing rights?</center>==

If you wish editing rights on BoyWiki, email [mailto:info@boywiki.org info@boywiki.org]

Please include what '''username and password''' you wish to use as well as a short statement about why you would like to be a part of BoyWiki.

==Where do I start?==
Once you have become a Scribe, you need to [[Special:Userlogin| login]] by entering your user name and password.

The best place to start is to practice editing on your user page first. To navigate to your user page, click on your user name that appears on the top right hand of your screen (or press: alt + shift + '''.''' ). If this does not work, make sure that you are indeed [[Special:Userlogin|logged in]].

* Another good place to start editing is in our [[:Category:fledglings]]. This category contains articles that are short or underdeveloped. You are encouraged to help BoyWiki by expanding them.

You can also learn how to structure an entry by going to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikipedia] and looking at how the writers there [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_tutorials set up an article] for content and how to add references as well as the use of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cheatsheet wikicode]. Because BoyWiki uses an older version of Wiki than Wikipedia, not all of the advanced code/wiki markup language and [[Help:Templates|templates]] may function as expected on BoyWiki but the basic code is the same.

====Creating a new article ====
To create a new entry, first do a search to ensure that what you wish to work on does not already exist. If it doesn’t already exist then type in between two brackets the name of the entry you wish to create. (When naming a new entry, normally only the first letter is capitalized.) Example: <nowiki> [[My first entry]]</nowiki> This will create a [[red link]]. Simply click on that link which will take you to the new page and you are ready to start adding text.

==What can I add?==
New [[Scribe]]s should first review [[Help:Contents]] and [[BoyWiki:Content guidelines]].

====How do I add a picture to my new page?====
Only [[curator]]s can upload and make available a new image/picture. Available images can be reviewed by [https://media.boywiki.org/wiki/Main_Page category] or by [https://media.boywiki.org/wiki/Special:NewImages newest to oldest].

Scribes must submit new images via [mailto:Admin@boywiki.org email], and externally hosted images may not be linked inline with article text. Any image that is contributed must conform to the base guidelines and be submitted to be licensed under the [[BoyWiki (en):Text of the GNU Free Documentation License|GNU Free Documentation License]] by the copyright holder.

==Copyrights==
New Scribes should first review [[BoyWiki (en):Copyrights]] Do not add copyrighted materials to BoyWiki without permission from the copyright owner. When adding information to articles, make sure it is written in your own words. Remember that all information found on the Internet is copyrighted unless the website specifically states otherwise.

==Avoiding conflict==
Avoiding conflict starts with '''respect''' and '''civility'''. Scribes are expected to be reasonably cooperative, to refrain from making personal attacks, to work within the scope of policies, and to be responsive to good-faith questions. Try to treat your fellow Scribes as respected colleagues with whom you are working on an important project. The person who added the entry is considered the “principal editor” of that page and should be respected as such. '''Be sure to review: [[BoyWiki:Abuse policy]].'''

==Protected pages==
Some high risk pages and templates are page protected to prevent vandalism or because the page is highly visible, such as the Main Page. A protected page can only be edited by a [[curator]]. Also a curator may protect a page during a dispute or “editing war”.
However, you may request access to a protected page or template by emailing one of the curators.

==Why did the curator edit my page?==
BoyWiki [[curator]]s will edit a page for a number of reasons to ensure the '''safety''' and '''security''' of BoyWiki. Curators also routinely categorize pages, copy edit, and add links. Pages that do not have any internal links are called ''“dead-end pages”''. Curators hate dead-end pages!
