HammerWiki:Community Portal
From HammerWiki
Welcome to HammerWiki
Originally project from gamewikis.org and now a part of the Wikia "community destination", HammerWiki is a documentation effort for Warhammer Online that anyone can edit. We started on August 30th 2006, and we definitely need your help! If you wish to contribute, see below -- or just add your information anywhere. Someone will be along shortly to clean up if you happen to misplace something.
Until September 18th, Warhammer Online is still in development, meaning that all information gathered so far continues to be subject to change. However, we remain comitted to being an accurate and reliable resource of information, supported by a focus on original content.
Most of the current tasks revolve around absorbing the flood of information that has now been released about WAR. Once added, content should conform to our style and formatting guidelines. Also, the design of HammerWiki's layout continues to evolve, and undergoes regular review.

[edit] Current Tasks
Important stuff that needs doing, especially now the NDA has dropped.
- Most of the current army and career articles need reviewing for out of date info.
- Style and formatting guidelines need adding/reviewing.
- All ability articles need updating with correct info formatted according to the AbilityBox template.
- Massive amounts of content to be added/updated: Bestiary, NPCs, Equipment, Weapons, Locations, etc.
- Most Game Information articles need to be reviewed and updated.
- Some zone articles still need cleaning up - we have a good format to follow for these now.
- The interviews article is still looking a bit skinny.
- We should make the rest of Wikia more aware of HammerWiki, such as with updates to the new Gaming portal and by getting HammerWiki into linkboxes etc. on other gaming wikis. I've noticed that not even the AoC wiki links to us. » Bishop · talk « 11:51, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Ongoing Tasks
- Rewriting of articles in Category:Cleanup and its subcategories.
- Expanding articles in Category:Stubs and its subcategories.
- Main Page reviews. Suggestions welcome on the editcopy.
- Nomination of new featured articles.
- Reviewing proposed policies.
- Content, content, content! We want articles about everything there currently is to know about WAR.
[edit] Topic list
Decisions that need taking. Feel free to make separate subpages for discussion of these topics.
- Structure -- formatting, sections, categories, etc. Much work to do here.
- Copyright -- research and decisions needed, on topics such as "Can we somehow use the fansite kit material, official site material and/or screenshots, etc?" In fact, how can we avoid conflicting with the EA Mythic / GW traditionally very strict attitude to IP/Copyright, no matter what we do?
- Relevance -- picking the necessary from the fluff.
Additions welcome.
[edit] Game resources
As long as the WAR beta NDA is in place, we'll need to get our information to document from other places. Please list any good resources for learning about WAR here.
- The Offical WAR Site
- The European WAR Site
- Warhammer Alliance
- Only-War
- War-RvR dot net
- warhammerinfo.com - A decent resource site.
- EA Mythic talk to the gaming press on a regular basis. MMORPG.com, Warcry, Gamespot, Gamespy, Curse gaming, Ten Ton Hammer and RPGVault are good places to check for articles.
- Database sites such as Allakhazam and WarDB are likely to go ballistic when the NDA drops and as we approach release.
