The Greyhawk Wiki is NEW and IMPROVED!!! We are working toward installing a plethora of new pages, but, as always on a wiki, WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please feel free register, to get the benefit of notifications, messages, and a Watch List! Once you do, then add and edit new pages about your favorite topics including people, places, and things in the World of Greyhawk™. We look forward to all of the contributions, and all of the support that is coming from the community. It is together that we will be able to restore a great wiki for the whole community to use! —Icarus, Administrator and Librarian of the Great Library of Greyhawk How to Help Improvement Drive This month's improvement drive is for ː Saltmarsh Please improve the article in any way you can. If you don't know how to edit a wiki, there's even editors who will help! Just click the "improve" link (or the "Edit" link on any section) to write some text, and editors with add formatting and wiki-links and stuff! Feel free to Register, and make edits to the GH Wiki! Registration isn't strictly required because we want to encourage as many editors to contribute as we can, although, we highly encourage it, because it'll allow you to watch topics that are of interest to you, and get notified when someone posts new research or information on your favorite topic! But, also we love to include our community members and talk with them to decide things across many of our other social networks! Wanted! Good Greyhawk articles! There's already a list of pages we need!! Take a look at our Wanted Pages, or create an article for one of our Unused Images! You can also help by creating links to our Orphaned Pages, or by expanding our Short Articles and Stubs. Uploading images is another really easy way to help out - see the Special:Upload page! You can find a list of useful templates on Category:Templates, and there are many Categories that are still being improved and refined. There's even some basic writing tips for the GloG which might help point you in the right direction. Directory Not sure where to begin? Browse the directory to see what's been created so far. Or take a look at all the pages we have in a filtered list: Contents Click here for everything from Aarakocra to Zzyczesiya!

Information Questions? Things are constantly being added, and we're reformatting many things - but, a Wiki is always a project in process. So, be patient if you can't find what you're looking for (or create it, even). Questions about the wiki? Post a message at Icarus' talk page or email the site administrators. Policies and Guidelines There's always room for improvement and we're always working on making the GLoG GH Wiki better. So, we have some basic Writing Guidelines that may be of help in writing pages. Other than those, you can be confident in following the guidelines presented by Wikipedia and Wikipedia's World of Greyhawk Wikiproject. It's always a good idea to check on Wikipedia to see if there's already information covering a topic you're interested in writing about. Because Mediawiki uses Creative Commons, ity's perfectly fine to copy/paste information - as long as you also copy the citations and references. Talk and more... Check out the community portal to see what the community is working on, to give feedback or just to say hi. There's also other resources for discussion, like the Greyhawk Online Discord Chat where we talk about all things relating to the World of Greyhawk™ and the Great Library of Greyhawk wiki. Community Section The other sites and members of our community look forward to all of the contributions of the GH Wiki, and all of the collected knowledge and research it represents. We'd like to give a shout-out to The Greyhawk Channel on Twitch.TV for greatly increasing the visibility and fanbase of Greyhawk with their tremendous variety of shows. A couple of other sites that we think you should visit for great Greyhawk content: Maldin's Greyhawkwhich is now celebrating it's 20th anniversary, by Denis "Maldin" Tetreault, artist of the City of Greyhawk map! Greyhawkery a great blog about Greyhawk by Mike "Mortellan" Bridges. Special Thanks It is our pleasure to note to our readers and contributors, that we have made an arrangement with Jason Zavoda, author of the Encyclopedia Greyhawkania Index (aka the Zavoda Index), to include his work on entries in the GLoG GH Wiki here on GHO! We give a great deal of thanks to Jason and we're proud of the work he's done over so many years, and it makes us incredibly honored to have him on board with us! It is also our pleasure to note another contributor of work here on GHO! The Heraldry is provided by Bryan "Saracenus" Blumkotz. He's been making the shields and coats-of-arms for GH for more than a decade, and they're included in prestigious places like Anna B. Meyer's maps. The Editors and Admins of Greyhawkonline.com, would like to thank the owners and contributors of Canonfire!, the oldest continuously operating Greyhawk fansite on the 'net, especially and specifically Gary Holian, for creating and maintaining the previous version of the wiki for so many years. Also, for making it available and allowing the use of the Creative Commons license so that it may be used by everyone for their research and edification for years to come! And to Lamashtu/w80 for hosting a mirror of the older wiki for a number of years, ensuring it never went entirely missing. We would also like to give special appreciation to Rasgon(aka Rip VanWormer) and Robert Vest (aka Robbastard) for all their year's worth of diligent effort on so many pages of the wiki. Without them, and their encyclopeadic knowledge of the World of Greyhawk™ we wouldn't have the wiki we have today.
