+<!--
-The Great Library of Greyhawk is meant to be a repository of lore for the ''[[World of Greyhawk]]'', a campaign setting for the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' fantasy roleplaying game.
-<center>The Great Library of Greyhawk currently contains '''{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}''' articles. Feel free to add more!</center>
+--------------------------------------
+Welcome to the main page of this wiki!
+--------------------------------------
-==Directory==
+When editing this page, please note a few things:
-Not sure where to begin? Browse the '''[[:Category:Greyhawk|directory]]''' to see what's been created so far.
-Things are currently under construction, so just be patient if you can't find what you're looking for (or create it, even). Questions? Post a message at [[User talk:Robbastard|Robbastard's talk page]].
+* The inexperienced may want to check out the "How to help" section on the "community portal" article linked on the sidebar.
+* Remember this page is the most public face of the wiki - test edits are best done on a separate page.
+* Sections within "<! --" and "-- >" markers (without the spaces) - like this entire section - are hidden comments, and can be separated by several lines. Be sure not to break them.
+* We strongly recommend you do not change the <mainpage-leftcolumn-start /> style tags - these keep your page format safe from unexpected breaks - the left column is first, followed by the right column. See http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Main_page_column_tags for more info.
-==Policies and guidelines==
+Please note that Wikia protection policy advises against the protection of this page unless it is the active target of vandalism.
-While we are still hammering out some of the policies and guidelines for this wiki, some basic [[Writing Guidelines]] have been posted. If you don't see what you're looking for there, you should be pretty safe in following the conventions already established by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:List_of_guidelines Wikipedia] and Wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Greyhawk World of Greyhawk Wikiproject]. Before writing something new, you may want to see if the article already exists on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Greyhawk Wikipedia]. If so, feel free to save yourself some time by copying and pasting.
-==Wanted! Good Greyhawk articles!==
+* Protecting the main page can do more harm than good, for example by preventing links being added.
-For non-existent articles that are in demand, check our [[Special:wantedpages|wanted pages]].
+* See http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Protection for more info.
-You can also help by creating links to our [[Special:lonelypages|orphaned pages]], or by expanding our [[Special:Shortpages|short articles]].
