The Greyhawk Wiki is NEW and IMPROVED!


We are constantly writing a plethora of new pages, and we have nearly 1,000 new pages just in the last 4 years!
But, as always on any wiki, WE NEED YOUR HELP! Below are instructions for adding new stuff!
Please feel free to register, to get the benefit of notifications, messages, and a Watch List. Once you do, then add and edit new pages about your favorite topics including people, places, and things in the World of Greyhawk™.
We look forward to all the contributions, and all the support that comes from the community. It is together that we will be able to continue to have a great wiki for the whole fan community to use!

How to Help

Wiki's Purpose

This wiki's purpose is to define a "baseline" for Greyhawk fans to use. The wiki generally favors officially published content over fan-created content, and we do our best to include citations or bibliographical citation from official material from the IP holder.

More information is available regarding official or apocrypha sources on the page discussing Official Material.

Improvement Drive

The current improvement drive is for pages related to the newest 5e supplement The Wild Beyond the Witchlightː

Please improve the articles in any way you can.

If you don't know how to edit a wiki, there's even editors who can help! Just click the "improve" link (or the "Edit" link on any section) to write some text, and editors will help by adding formatting and wiki-links and stuff!

  • Feel free to Register, and make edits to the GH Wiki!
  • Registration isn't strictly required because we want to encourage as many editors to contribute as we can, although, we highly encourage it, because it'll allow you to watch topics that are of interest to you, and get notified when someone posts new research or information on your favorite topic!
It will also let you edit without having to go through an anti-bot authentication test.
But, also we love to include our community members and talk with them to decide things across many of our other social networks!

Wanted! Good Greyhawk articles!

  • There's already a list of pages we need!! Take a look at our Wanted Pages or create an article for one of our Unused Images!
  • If you search the wiki and there's not already a page on your favorite topic, you can create a new page! A Red Link means the page doesn't exist. If you click any red link, it will take you to a creation page straightaway! Or, if you know the page you want to create already …
  1. First, be sure to check to see if a page or sub-heading exists for the topic using the search bar above!
  2. Then, make sure you have the spelling and name correct.
  3. There's Writing Guidelines which will help you with templates you can fill out, and information on how to add categories!
  4. Finally, create a new page just by visiting the New Article Templates page. Choose the type of article you want to create, and you follow the link there to the appropriate Template.
    Place the name of the subject you want to write about in the blank box and click "Create New Article"! and it will generate all the standard sections and place an infobox template for you to fill in!!

Questions?

  • Things are constantly being added, and we're reformatting many things - but a Wiki is always a project in process.
    So, be patient if you can't find what you're looking for (or create it, even). Questions about the wiki? Post a message at Jawal Severnain's talk page or email the site administrators.

Policies and Guidelines

  • There's always room for improvement and we're always working on making the GLoG GH Wiki better. So, we have some basic Writing Guidelines that may be of help in writing pages. Other than those, you can be confident in following the guidelines presented by Wikipedia and Wikipedia's World of Greyhawk Wikiproject. It's always a good idea to check on Wikipedia to see if there's already information covering a topic you're interested in writing about. Because Mediawiki uses Creative Commons, ity's perfectly fine to copy/paste information - as long as you also copy the citations and references.

Talk and more ...

  • Check out the community portal to see what the community is working on, to give feedback or just to say hi.
  • There's also other resources for discussion, like the Greyhawk Online Discord Chat where we talk about all things relating to the World of Greyhawk™ and the Great Library of Greyhawk wiki.
Community Section

Members of our community look forward to new content from a lot of different blogs, sites, and more, and all the collected knowledge and research they represent.

The first three seasons, on The Greyhawk Channel.
Later seasons on the Lord Gosumba channel on Twitch.tv..

Special Thanks

  • We'd like to thank all the recent editors of the Great Library of Greyhawk who've helped make the wiki even better since its move to its new host on GreyhawkOnline. Especially:
  • It is our pleasure to note to our readers and contributors the Encyclopedia Greyhawkania Index (first authored by Jason Zavoda) is included in a table at the end of pages on the GLoG GH Wiki here on GHO! Jason's work continued through '08 and his work was carried on and updated by Eric Johnson, Richard DiIoia, Jason "PupickDad" Jacobson, a French fan group, and numerous other fans over the years.
    Sean Williams wrote the SQL code for the wiki to be able to pull EGI data and put it on the pages. We give thanks to Jason and we're proud of the work so many fans have continued over so many years, and it makes us incredibly proud to have this added functionality on the GLoG wiki!
  • It is also our pleasure to note another contributor here on GHO! The GLoG and GHO heraldry are provided by Bryan "Saracenus" Blumkotz. He's been making the shields and coats-of-arms for GH for more than a decade, and they're included in prestigious places like Anna B. Meyer's maps.
  • The Editors and Admins of Greyhawkonline.com, would like to thank the owners and contributors of Canonfire!, the oldest continuously operating Greyhawk fansite on the 'net, especially and specifically Gary Holian, for creating the previous home of the Great Library of Greyhawk wiki (ghwiki.greyparticle.com) for so many years. Also, for making it available for GHO to export and allowing the use of the Creative Commons CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0 license so that it may be used by everyone for their research and edification at their gaming tables for years to come! And to Lamashtu (w80) for hosting a mirror of the older wiki for years, ensuring it never went entirely missing.

And thanks to all the editors who've ever worked on the Great Library of Greyhawk even for just an edit or two!
