Purpose[edit]

This wiki is a community-maintained archive documenting the events, history, cities, and players of the Ravenkraft Network. Anyone on the whitelist can contribute — a page could cover a player build, a city, an archived world, a past event, or anything else that's part of the Ravenkraft story.

What to Document[edit]

Cities and builds — Use Cities and Landmarks as a starting point; add individual city pages for notable settlements.
Players — Add a page to Players with a short bio if you'd like one.
Events — Past and upcoming events belong on Events and their own pages (see Christmas 2024 as an example).
History — Expansions to Ravenkraft History, Zothique, or world pages are always welcome.

Contribution Rules[edit]

Keep it Civil[edit]

Respect others. Critique arguments, not people.
Avoid language that degrades others based on identity.

Be a Productive Member[edit]

Follow established formatting conventions (see below).
If you disagree with another editor, resolve it constructively — no edit wars.

Stay on Topic[edit]

This wiki documents Ravenkraft. It is not a platform for personal promotion, external advertising, or off-topic content.

Respect User Boundaries[edit]

If another user asks you to stop posting content on their user page, respect that.

Formatting Guidelines[edit]

Use == Heading == for sections, === Sub == for subsections.
Use WikiLinks for internal links and Label for external links.
Add [[Category:X]] at the bottom of every page.
Keep prose factual and community-focused — this is a record, not a personal blog.

Questions?[edit]

Reach the admins on the Community Hub or in-game.
