Welcome to the main page of this wiki!
--------------------------------------


When editing this page, please note a few things:
==Directory==
Not sure where to begin? Browse the '''[[:Category:Greyhawk|directory]]''' to see what's been created so far.


* The inexperienced may want to check out the "How to help" section on the "community portal" article linked on the sidebar.
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]].
* 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.


Please note that Wikia protection policy advises against the protection of this page unless it is the active target of vandalism.
==Policies and guidelines==
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.  


* Protecting the main page can do more harm than good, for example by preventing links being added.
==Wanted! Good Greyhawk articles!==
* See http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Protection for more info.
For non-existent articles that are in demand, check our [[Special:wantedpages|wanted pages]].


 
You can also help by creating links to our [[Special:lonelypages|orphaned pages]], or by expanding our [[Special:Shortpages|short articles]] and [[:Category:Stubs|stubs]].
