Hey CoolStar,

There's lots to learn, and I know it can get confusing :) Let me see if I can clear up some bits:

Thumbwrumbler is right that you can start a wiki any time, more than one if you choose, and you can contribute to other wikis while you build your own (good answer there Thumbwrumbler)

For character profiles - it's up to you how you arrange them, but you have as many pages are you like, so one per page may work for you.

Your next question: "what does a founder of that wikia do whenever other new users are on it?" isn't clear, but I think Thumbwrumbler is heading in the right direction. Founders look after the wiki, make sure that people feel welcome and know what they should add to the wiki, and block people if there is trouble. As the wiki grows, you will probably want to give other people admin rights so they can help.

Thumbwrumbler is also right to say that you might want to plan before creating the wiki, but you don't have to. You can plan on the wiki instead if you like :)

The block link is easiest to find if you look at Special:RecentChanges or find the "contributions" tab on someone's profile (You'll only see the block link if you are an admin).

By "global user", Thumbwrumbler means someone who has special abilities on all wikis (like staff). Everyone is able to edit on any wiki though, so we are all global users in that sense :) I wouldn't recommend practicing blocks in that way - best to just look at the block page (by following a link), and actually use the page just when you need to.

And finally - it's usually best not to put private information on wikis. It's safer, and more sensible, to keep private stuff private. Remember, everyone can see everything you write here!

Thumbwrumbler: You can find lists of different people on Wikia at Special:ListUsers I'm not sure where your list came from! That was a good try at helping though. Remember to try to write clearly, and be careful not to give answers unless you are sure they are right. You can always ask someone else if you aren't sure.
