So you want to be a contributor?

Welcome to The Inquisition: Legacy's Wiki. While it's not hard to become one (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:

  • The Wiki is used for organizing information from helpfiles, and expanding upon it with additional information; this is great specifically for lorekeeping. However, be aware that revealing private information (unless it is your own character page) is not permitted: Do not reveal IC information that would not be publicly accessible in-game.
  • The Wiki is maintained by the players: administrators and moderators are considered competent enough to understand our philosophies and rules, and to reinforce them Wiki-wide. Please respect their decisions on a portal. If you want to contest a decision, contact the Main Administrator User Talk:Ismael.
  • A degree of professionalism is expected in the format of content pages (those which are not Character Pages). Formatting should be clean and universally matched across the Wiki.
