This is the '''{{WikiTitle}} FAQ''' should part of the [[Help:Contents|Help section]]. If your answer most question is not found here, you might have about can try the wiki[[Help:Support|support]] page.

A wiki is an open source document that anyone can edit or add to. "All of us are smarter than any of us," goes the theory. Wikis are designed to be easy to edit; they are primarily text-based, and you do not need to know HTML or PHP or CSS or any other programming language to edit wiki pages. The wiki can handle some HTML and CSS though, so if you do know something about it, you might get to use it.

For more practical purposes, you can jump right in and edit text on this wiki without knowing anything more than how to click the "edit" button. For the wiki-specific formatting, you can read more in the [[Help:Markup|wiki markup]] help page.

If you know anything about any of the [[Diablo game]]sor the universe, you can fill in some pages that aren't yet online, or flesh out existing pages. A wiki is a living document, and with the game constantly evolving, there are always changes, updates, and corrections to be made to existing pages. The [[Community Portal]] is the headquarters for wiki contributions, and the talk page there the main writing board.

You can help out in the wiki by either filling out [[Special:Wantedpages|Wanted Pages]] and [[:Category:Stubs|Incomplete Pages]] (also known as "[[Stubs]]"). You can also check out the [[Community Portal]] for information on the current wiki focus. If you're less of a an Diablo 3 expert, or aren't comfortable writing original material, you can help improve existing pages. Almost every page on this wiki could be improved by adding links to other related pages, illustrating the information by inserting [[Help:Image|images and thumbnails ]] or links to full screenshots, improving the navigation (by adding links or categorization) to help people find the pages they seekby adding [[Help:Markup#Creating Links|links]] or [[Help:Category|categorization]], or even just italicizing "Diablo II" as needed.

If you don't want to get that involved you can make smaller changes; fix typos, join the "[[Help:Talk|discussion]]" on a page or in our wiki forums to suggest additions or corrections or different interpretations.

No. Wiki markup is very simple, much less complicated and fussy than HTML. Here's a [[Help:Markup|markup page ]] that list all the codes you will need. Alternatively, if you see something on a page that you'd like to replicate simply click 'edit' at the top of the page and see what the code is and copy and paste it to the page you're working on.

Short, fair use quotations ==Can I cut and paste content from DiabloWiki are permitted, (if you want {{WikiTitle}} to cite facts to back up your argument in my own website?==You may not copy sections or pages from {{WikiTitle}}.

No. The whole point of a wiki is that all of us are smarter than one of us, and that as much as you or I know about some topic, someone else knows more. That being said, intentional misinformation, and inflammatory or libelous libellous comments are prohibited, and pages that deal with controversial subjects or are victimized by malicious editing (also known as [[Help:Vandalism|vandalism]] may be temporarily locked.
