Thanks for coming and checking out the DDO Compendium!

Below should preemptively answer some questions that you may have about the new DDO Compendium.

The DDO Compendium is in fact a new wiki for Dungeons & Dragons Online. Veterans and new players alike have started this new venture so that we can provide an updated resource for everyone playing Dungeons & Dragons Online. With a focus on current and accurate information it is our mission to provide a consistent, reliable, high quality wiki experience.

We encourage wiki editors, both novice and experienced, to join in editing here. There's a lot of work that needs to be done to get it up to par and we can't do it alone. The only stipulation that we ask is that there is no copy/paste from pre-existing sources without the original authors permission. Everything else edited into and uploaded to the Compendium should be original works/images by the person uploading/editing.

Please take a few moments to look over the policies that we have in place; they can be found in the top navigation bar. Our intent with the policies is to have an easy to locate source of guidelines to help create a consistent experience and answer any questions you may have. A complete listing of all commonly used templates can also be found in the top nav bar and will be updated regularly as we work to add more. With these templates and policies it should be relatively easy to keep things up to date and dependable for visitors.

If you wish to know more or engage in discussion around the new wiki, please feel free to join the community at our Discord channel.
