Community Involvement

Our wiki always needs new content! If you wish to help out, here are some things you can do:

WikiQuests are projects on the Earthen Ring Wiki. WikiQuests are created by community members to improve the wiki through meeting goals.
Outdated articles are not current and could use a little help being brought up to date.
Stubs are articles that are incomplete. Only you can help fill them out!
Unknown copyright status files need your help if you think you may know who created them.

If you're not sure on how to edit a wiki, check out our the Help pages for basics on editing and contributing.

+When editing this page, please note a few things:
-<center><font size=1>'''[[News]]''' last updated:  March 26, 2007, 7:29PM EST</font></center>

+* Remember this page is the most public face of the wiki - test edits are best done on a separate page.
+* Sections within "<! --" and "-- >" markers (without the spaces) - like this entire section - are hidden comments, and can be separated by several lines. Be sure not to break them.
+* We strongly recommend you do not change the <mainpage-rightcolumn-start /> style tags - these keep your page format safe from unexpected breaks - the right column is first, followed by the left column.
+Please note that Wikia protection policy advises against the protection of this page unless it is the active target of vandalism.

-There are some things you should avoid when creating and writing about a character, simply by custom.  The following are strongly encouraged.
+<br>
-* The character should not be a descendant of any lore character.  For example, the second cousin of Arthas, or the long lost sibling of Sylvanas.
+</div>
-* The character could not have been born in [[:Category:Ogrimmar| Orgrimmar]] or [[:Category:Darnassus| Darnassus]], or spent your youth there, unless you want to play as a four year old character (Ogrimmar and Darnassus were built recently.)
-* Vampires. They just aren't in [[Azeroth]], and Dreadlords take their place.  Don't make your character into one.
-* When writing a character history, one should try to avoid things such as, "He was also well-known for slaying the dreaded traitor, Van Cleef," or, "She is renowned for cleansing the demonic taint from Ragefire Chasm."  Nefarion is killed by different people weekly, and Hogger still terrorizes Elwynn.  Don't write things that will cause continuity problems.
