Happy editing! — Wug·a·po·des​ 21:25, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you, I appreciate the welcome (although I can't tell if this is an automatically generated message or not...)

Either way, I'm glad to be here.

Also, I love your username!! I studied English Language at A-Level, and Berko-Gleason's Wug test was one of the most interesting things I learnt. I also love octopuses, and I'm studying marine biology at university now, so both aspects of your username are brilliant!!

I'm still getting used to wikipedia's special text rules (like the 4 tildes), so I'm sorry I made a mistake on my first edit - I'm sure I'll improve at that. I hope so at least!

Thanks again, and have a great day

It's a standard template, but I'm a real human (my fake human is WugBot)! I'm glad you like my username, it's a niche joke so it's always nice when someone gets it, kind of like a shibboleth. Anyway, I'm glad you're enjoying the place, and get in touch if you need anything. You can leave a message on User talk:Wugapodes or you can use {{ping|Wugapodes}} ~~~~ to summon me. As for making mistakes, don't worry about it! You're still learning, and until you get the hang of things editors will happily fix formatting. It's one of the nice things about wikis, minor mistakes are no big deal because we can all pitch in to fix them. — Wug·a·po·des​ 23:15, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
