Welcome to D&D Wiki!

Welcome!

Hello Allycat, and welcome to D&D Wiki. I hope you have been enjoying this site, and I hope you have been finding the information here on D&D Wiki useful. I am an admin (and, actually, the owner as well) here on D&D Wiki along with a couple other people who make up "The Face" of D&D Wiki. Everything relating to admins can be found here.

Questions

If you have any question about D&D Wiki, D&D, formatting on D&D Wiki, what day today is, or whatever, an admin will, many times, give a good answer. Please feel free to ask any admin any question (ask me a question!).

Formatting

Formatting on D&D Wiki (or any wiki for that matter) can be very difficult, and if you need help a good place to start is Help:Editing on Wikipedia (or even their Introduction page). This will explain the basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Again, if you have any questions about formatting on D&D Wiki please ask them as, I imagine, anybody will be more than happy to help you get them answered.

Community

A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I am sure you will find it rather nice. Most discussions take place on content talk pages, however please feel free to walk into The Tavern (our local chat room) and talk to some fellow D&D Wikians. Anyway, on D&D Wiki, possibly since discussions are never deleted, people try to be nice. This means please follow Wikipedia's guidelines on Civility and Etiquette when discussing anything. And, if an argument does arise, please use Wikipedia's Dispute Resolution to make sure everyone comes out happy. Also, on a pretty different note, to ensure people know who posted what, please sign your name after a post with four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking on the signature icon. This will automatically produce your name and the date. Anyway, I hope you come to love the close-knit D&D Wiki community and welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --Green Dragon 15:16, 17 January 2009 (MST)

Article Naming

Hello Allycat. I don't know if you've had a chance to read it yet, but through the Help:Portal you can find Help:Article Naming. The part I'd like you to take a look at is Adding the article identifier. You see, because of the massive amount of articles here and the different things they represent (i.e. feats, classes, races, equipment, etc.) we add identifiers onto each article. So, instead of you making, say, Sword, you should instead be making Sword (3.5e Equipment). Due to a recent server issue we're experiencing trouble moving pages to their appropriate identifier and name so it may be a day or two before the content you created is properly named, but just keep this in mind in the future. If you have any questions just ask.

Also, thanks for using our templates. I'm not sure if stub really is best when a picture is needed, and I even thought that we used to have a needspicture template but can't seem to hunt it down. So, stub should work for now at least. Thanks.   Hooper   talk    contribs    email   18:10, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
