*Also see: [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_User's_Guide#For_editors Editor's User Manual] for tips on how to format nicely and such.
* A player-written encyclopedia for the vast virtual world of [http://www.achaea.com Achaea].
*If you are totally unfamiliar with wikis, check out http://en.wikipedia.org
* A compendium of history, mythology, bestiary, geography, and other studies of Achaea.
*What's a wiki anyway? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki Wiki?]

** [[Special:Wantedpages]] lists pages that still need to be written.
|style="border: 1px solid #cccccc; color: #000;"|'''What are the Archives not?'''
** [[Special:Lonelypages]] lists pages that should probably be linked from another page but aren't yet.
* The Archives run on [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] software, but it is not a pure wiki. That means not anyone can contribute; editing is restricted-access only.
** [[Special:Uncategorizedpages]] lists pages that need to be [[AchaeanLore:Contributing Guidelines#Categories|categorized]] (and [[Special:Categories]] lists potential categories for them).
|-
*What has everyone else been working on? [[Special:Recentchanges]]
|style="border: 1px solid #cccccc; color: #000;"|'''But doesn't this defeat the purpose of finding knowledge within the game?'''
 
* Quest information and information that helps you further your character in the game will not be included in the Archives, excepting in certain special contexts.
Notes:
* Those who wish to gain information solely through their characters in Achaea may still do so; this supplementary material is an optional tool, not a forced replacement.
*Yes, this will all look prettier when we go "live". :)
* There will still be much in Achaea not accessible here, such as the esoteric knowledge of Houses and Divine Orders.
*To access any file from the Achaea help system, go to Help:Filename. For example, [[Help:Houses]].

**Please do not edit Help:* files!
