Hi Welcome

Thanks for coming and checking out the DDO Compendium!

Below should preemptively answer some questions that you may have about why the DDO Compendium exists when the long-running DDO Wiki is still around.

The DDO Compendium is in fact a new wiki for Dungeons & Dragons Online. Several long-time players decided to start this up in hopes that we can provide a resource for everyone playing Dungeons & Dragons Online that anyone and everyone can edit and directly influence its growth and development with minimal (if any!) drama and other shenanigans.

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 the DDO Wiki in any manner. Everything edited into and uploaded to the Compendium should be original works/images by the person uploading/editing.

The main focus on the Compendium is to make it as simple to edit without the need for dozens upon dozens of different templates (yes, we do have templates because that is a necessary evil on a wiki). A complete listing of all commonly used templates can be found in the top nav bar and will be updated regularly as we work to add more commonly used templates.

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 guidance should any ruckus happen on the Compendium.

Once we have base pages for all major topics created, this welcome dialogue will be replaced with a more suitable home page that will somewhat resemble the controversial Dashboard.
