Community Portal

This is the Community Portal for DiabloWiki, and is meant to inform the contributors of this page on the current comings and goings of the Wiki. For all news or actual game related discussions, please visit Diii.Net. As this D1&D2 wiki is just getting off the ground, please excuse the mess, and pitch into help out wherever you can.

How to create/edit articles

(Basic/Fast tutorial)

  • If you want to create a new article, look at other articles for inspiration.
  • Use categories! Each article Must be in at least one category.
    • How do you add a category? Type something like this at the bottom of the article: [[Category:Quests]]
    • If you don't know where your article belongs, put it in Category:Categorization requests and someone else will do it.
    • If you put an article in 2 or more categories, don't do it when one is another subcategory. For example, don't put articles into Category:Melee weapons and Category:Weapons
  • Organize your articles by using titles.
    • Don't use single equaled titles (=Your title=), its a top level title reserved for the article name!
    • For highest title level use ==Level 1 title in article==
    • For lower level titles use more "=" (===Level 2 title in article===, ====Level 3 title in article====)
  • Use the button Show preview before you save changes.
  • Enter a short summary

Current DiabloWiki Focus

Remember that the Diablo 3 Wiki also needs help.

If you know of any task that needs be done, edit here and add it. Don't remove anything unless you are Leord, Flux, Elly or Rush!


Screenshot Extravaganza!

The Diablo2Wiki is beyond doubt the best source of Diablo II gameplay information, but when transferring the data from the old info pages into the wiki, we have lost a lot of pictures. In order to show the community of things actually look in the game, you can help by just taking screenshots in Diablo 2 and adding them to Diablo2Wiki! The primary areas right now is:

  • Monsters - Lots of monsters lack images, and almost all of them would be glad to have a mugshot!


Updating old Content

We really need to go through all old pages and make sure they are up to date, as well as continuing to fill in with the archived content of the old HTML site. As a regular visitor/editor you can read content pages and:

  • Add links to other articles that exist (priority).
  • Report (preferably on the Community Portal talk page) on areas with poor navigation for us to make navboxes.


Fact Improvement

While this wiki is about the best source of Diablo material on the net, once in a while you may come across a stat or a fact that could be clarified or changed to be correct. You do not need any previous wiki editing skills to help out with this.


Re-Categorise

Much of the Diablo 2 wiki has a working category structure, some of it does not. To fix this you need a lot of wiki experience, and you should be in contact with other editors as well as sysops when helping out.
