Getting Started

New to Elanthipedia? First off, a warm welcome to you!

Wikis have blossomed into a very popular way for information to be shared and gathered by many people. A wiki dedicated to as dynamic a game as DragonRealms makes a good deal of sense. Information can be added and updated at the same pace in which it is added and updated to the game itself. While some websites that rely on one or two editors to keep it up to date, Elanthipedia relies on the contributions of any DragonRealms player who wishes to contribute!

Whether you are here to simply find information or if you wish to help out around the site by added to or editing existing articles, we are glad you stopped by!

This area will offer general help on both searching for information as well as wikicode editing for new contributors. Style guides will also give overviews on the conventions upheld here at Elanthipedia.

If you feel comfortable contributing, go ahead and sign-up for an account, and begin editing today. If you still need help after perusing the help material, please feel free to contact an administrator.

Don't know where to get started editing? See our Projects page for ideas.

Information Seekers

User Pages

Feel free to add info to your User page here within the wiki. Just click on your user name in the navigation bar that is across the top of the wiki window.

You can also sign other user's talk pages using the signature button (second from the right) in the wiki editor or putting in --~~~~ That will add a link to your user page as well as a time stamp.

You can edit your signature in your preferences in the Nickname field. An example is my signature (this is what I put into my Nickname field to set up my signature),

[[User:Naeya|Naeya]] ([[User talk:Naeya|talk]]) (NOTE this is one example only! You can play with yours to do whatever you want, bold, colors, etc)

which gives a link to my user page as well as a link to my talk page for other users to leave me messages. This is how my signature will show up on a talk page:

--Naeya (talk) 01:30, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

If you edit your nickname with links, be sure to check the box next to Raw Signatures.

Feel free to add your character (via a character page) to the Player Characters category.
