If you're new to the Path of Exile Wiki project, please read the Help page, and don't forget to check the Editing page for details on how to format pages.

Getting started

New to wiki editing?

New to the path of exile wiki?

Helping out on the path of exile wiki

The wiki is community maintained and we need everyone to help out.

If you don't have any ideas where to start, here are some ideas:

  • Browse Category:Maintenance and improve any pages
  • Improve existing pages (see the section below for more details)
  • Create new pages if you can't find the information you seek (or create redirect pages if the information exists)
  • Reduce content-duplication by implementing Labeled Section Transclusion
  • Help with any of the projects listed on this page

Improving existing pages

  • Correct spelling and grammar
  • Make sure the pages are in line with other similar pages (i.e. share similar layout and order of sections)
  • Adding sources
  • Add missing information
  • Improve the understanding of pages by
  • Adding interwiki links to other articles
  • Verify the information on the page is still correct in regards to the current version of the game

Projects

Adding New Languages

We get a lot of inquiries about adding new languages to the site, this section will help guide you through the process of what we need in order to implement these new sections.

If you would like to translate a page, first please let the head admin know on his talk page: Iamacyborg talk.

The steps for translating are the following:

  • Create a new page with "/languagecode" added to the end of the pagename of the page you wish to translate. ie. If you want to translate the page "Templar" to Spanish, you would create page "Templar/es". For a list of Language codes, please see: http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php
  • At the bottom of the page edit, add the page to the category: [[Category:LANGUAGECODE Translation]]. ie. Translating a page to Spanish would have [[Category:ES Translation]] added to the bottom of the edit. This will put all translated pages into a single category.
  • If the main page and all pages linked to from the main page are translated a sub-domain will be set up for that translation. ie. A translated Spanish wiki would be at es.pathofexilewiki.com. Those who did the translating will be given admin access to this sub-domain.

We also hope that you can keep an eye on the wiki to prevent vandals, etc.

If you have any issues or additional question, post on Iamacyborg talk or Game widow talk.
