TL;DR on the bottom.

Yes, these are basic Wikia features, but I'll teach them in case.

What is Rickrolling?
Rickrolling is a bait-and-switch practice that involves providing a web link supposedly relevant to the topic at hand, but actually re-directs the viewer to Rick Astley’s 1987 hit single “Never Gonna Give You Up.” The URL is often masked or obfuscated as a randomly-generated shortlink to conceal its true source from the experienced users. Whenever someone clicks the link and unintentionally summons Rick Astley’s song, he or she is said to have been rickrolled.

How can I Rickroll others on this Wikia?
Here are the steps:

The result will be: http://r2d.wikia.com/wiki/Home_Page
 * 1) Press the button labeled as a chain. This will allow you to upload links that'd redirect others to another page. See the picture on the right.
 * 2) After clicking that, a small window will pop up, enabling you to do what you want with a link.
 * 3) Here's an example - let's use the Wikia's main page. Put the rickroll link, on "Target page or URL", then put the desired text to put what you want.

Now, go have some fun! Be creative and try your best to catch as many as you can!

How can I avoid being rickrolled on the Wikia?
There are several techniques, but I'll say a few that I know.
 * 1) Click the link, get rickrolled, and finish the song. It's a catchy song anyway.
 * 2) (for Google Chrome users only) Mouse over the link and check what the link says on the bottom left corner of your window. You'll see that it's a youtube video.

TL;DR/Too long; didn't read
I made a forum post about rickrolling because I can. Now, click here: http://r2d.wikia.com/wiki/Home_Page to go back to the main page if you wish.
