Welcome to Arelith Wiki
The premiere Neverwinter Nights roleplaying community. 1,189 articles since June 2008

Welcome!

Welcome to the Arelith Wiki page, where (hopefully) all of your questions about the specific mechanics of Arelith can be found. Any player is welcome to help, though we ask that you familiarize yourself with the rules listed below before editing any wiki page.

Wiki Rules

Attention! - All wiki users and contributors are expected to read and abide by the rules at all time when using this wiki.

Please register as a user before making any changes. Most pages will block non-users from edits.
All OOC information on players will be deleted, including but not limited to references to players found within in-character information regarding characters, guilds, events and any other game-world information, as well as independent pages. This also includes user pages.
Rudeness of any kind will not be tolerated. Rude posts/deletions/implications will be deleted with haste.
When making a new article, check that it hasn't already been made in some fashion, or if the information isn't already available on the Wiki. Use Search!
Before making any addition or edit to the site, please ask yourself if that change will benefit the playerbase as a whole. If it doesn't, don't bother.
Anything that isn't benefiting the playerbase will probably be deleted and the poster will be watched for future activity.

Adding Content Guidelines

OOC information should be written in "encyclopaedic" way. Keep to facts - avoid including any personal opinions, questions, rumours or unconfirmed information.
The wiki is strictly for the more detailed sorts of mechanical information, not for in character events, locations, or figures. If you have some sort of RP guide (for example "Kobold culture and mentality") take it to the general reference section of the forums. Please also be sure to double check and not post what has already been added to the website.
Guide to making a Redirect page.
Take a look at "Stubs" and "Wanted Articles". Please add any content that you feel the wiki is lacking, but do adhere to the rules posted above.
Place in articles only links to existing articles or articles that you intend to create within few hours. This avoids creation of many similar wanted articles and need to edit your article later again. (E.g. by having different empty links in different articles for Roleplay, Role play, Role-play, Roleplaying, Role-playing, Role playing)
If article is not quite ready yet, the code {{stub}} should be placed on beginning of it. This will include the article between "Stubs".
You can find a list of useful templates on Category:Templates, some of which are documented on the templates project page.

Many contributors to Arelith Wiki are still learning how to use it. Please, read NWNWiki:Manual of style before contributing. The following links can assist with learning more.
