So you want to be a contributor?
Welcome to The Inquisition: Legacy's Wiki. While it's not hard to contribute (and editing a Wiki can be a pleasant, blissful thing), you do need to understand our philosophy to avoid problems down the road. Here you will have a list of concepts that illustrate the purpose and culture behind the Wiki:
|
Streamline Compendium of Information The wiki serves the role of a compendium of streamline information that connects helpfiles from the game with posts on the forums and the wiki's contributors own devising. It is an encyclopedia of the game made of information that can either be canon or not, created by contributors. This also means that we must try to avoid to reveal IC information that would not be available to a general public in the game (no spells, for example). |
Self-Maintained Space
The wiki is made by players for the players; it is maintained by a group of bureaucrats, administrators and moderators in order of hierachy or chain of command. The bureaucrats is the rank given to in-game staff, no exceptions. Administrators can be users with a particularly active collection of contributions to the wiki that will serve as right hand to the staff. It's impossible to handle a game and also handle the wiki at the same time, hence the Administrator's key role. Moderators are volunteers that decide to manage a portal. Please respect their decisions; if you want to contest a decision, contact the Main Administrator User Talk:Ismael.

Reliability of Information
One double-edged trait of the wiki is that if you create a village in a remote location of Mozenk and include it in the page: it exists. Someone can use it. It'll be there and people might use it as reference. Hence why we would like that any fictional creations that might alter the gameworld are verified by the staff (creation of locations, deciding for important NPCs such as the Queen, etc). Go in-game and post a request with the desired location to create and the information you wish to include in the wiki about it so that it can get approved.
