Welcome to D&D Wiki!

Welcome!

Hello Gaga, and welcome to D&D Wiki! I hope you are enjoying D&D Wiki and have been finding the information here useful. Before you start contributing, we recommend you make sure your user preferences match your preferences.

Questions

If you have any questions about a specific page please ask it on that page's talk page. If you have a D&D-related question, you can ask it on DnD Discussions. Everything relating to D&D Wiki's administration can be asked here. If you need to contact another user, please use their talk page.

Formatting

Syntax 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 basic wiki formatting and should provide quite a few useful links that explain more specific areas of wiki formatting. Help:Portal also provides detailed explanation of information important specifically to this community.

Community

A strong and welcoming community exists on D&D Wiki, and I'm sure you will find us friendly. To enable the community to function, a number of policies are in effect. Most importantly, we follow and expect you to follow Wikipedia's guidelines on civility and etiquette when discussing anything. As most work has multiple authors, please do not delete content without following our removal process. When posting a comment on a talk page, please ensure you sign your name with four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking on the signature icon (). This will automatically produce your name and the date. I hope you come to enjoy D&D Wiki and the community. Welcome again, you are now a D&D Wikian. --SirSprinkles (talk) 04:51, 3 March 2021 (MST)

Sigh

Hello, Gaga. I am coming here because you apparently refuse to read talk pages, particularly this talk page, and hopefully this will get through to you. Beyond the issues of that page, and I can not stress this enough, you do not own a page. Read the FAQ. This is a community wiki, by posting something, you are putting it in a place where anyone can edit is, so long as it is an improvement. Your possessiveness over "your" pages is counterproductive to their own quality.--Ref3rence (talk) 11:53, 31 March 2021 (MDT)

I agree with Ref3rence. I have been trying to stay on the sidelines of this edit war, but I cannot any longer. You have been deleting the edits of another person without giving a reason, ignoring the talk pages of your creations, and telling other people not to edit pages. What you are doing is against everything that the wiki stands for- a place for people to work with others to make great creations. In addition, you make ridiculously powerful creations (see your godslayer artifact), completely destroying any semblance of balance. As a person on a quest to balance the wiki, I request that you stop doing this. The wiki has standards to uphold, and very unbalanced creations can drag down the reputation of the wiki. Besides, you are just making more work for everyone else when you do this.

In conclusion, please stop what you are doing. You are performing the very actions that the wiki stands firmly against, including being overpossesive of your pages, deleting edits, making unbalanced creations, and ignoring suggestions to "your" pages. Thanks! --MarshDASavage (talk) 12:15, 31 March 2021 (MDT)

Hi Gaga, I would like to reiterate what the other users have said above; please read our page ownership policy. We have a general community consensus that homebrew should be of a comparable power level to the material published by Wizards of the Coast, and if a page goes far beyond those guidelines, {{needsbalance}} or de-powering of the page is appropriate. — Geodude (talk | contribs | email)‎‎ . . 10:38, 1 April 2021 (MDT)
