Welcome to D&D Wiki!

Welcome!

Hello Demosthenes, 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. An entire list of 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 the best 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 21:30, 24 May 2008 (MDT)

My Discussion

I (out of mere curiosity) question the frequent PC, class, etc. reference of 'she.' Is this a possible allusion to the respect a ship holds? Sorry for such a minor question, but- just out of curiosity. --Demosthenes 18:12, 25 May 2008 (MDT)

The classes iconic character chooses the gender of a class. So a wizard (Mialee being the iconic character) will always be referenced with "she". A fighter, on the other hand, (Regdar being the iconic character) will always be referenced with a "he". Does this answer your question? --Green Dragon 20:42, 25 May 2008 (MDT)

I had the same question myself =) Palantini 11:24, 26 May 2008 (MDT)

Didn't WotC do this to try to get Girls to play DnD, I thought they did that to try to show that Grls could play DnD as well...--Kisame93 | Ryan B. 11:43, 26 May 2008 (MDT)

I believe they did do this to move it away from being such a male-centric game. I just wonder what 4e will bring ;). --Green Dragon 18:14, 2 June 2008 (MDT)
