About the Guild Wars 2 Wiki
- What is this website about?
- The Guild Wars 2 Wiki is the official wiki for Guild Wars 2. It is hosted by ArenaNet for the Guild Wars 2 community to be managed and shaped by the community.
- What is a wiki?
- To quote Wikipedia, a "wiki" is software that allows users to create, edit and link web pages easily. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and to power community websites. Ward Cunningham, developer of the first wiki, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work".
Common mistakes
- Copying content directly from other wikis
- Other wikis for Guild Wars 2 generally use licenses that are incompatible with ours, and most of their content cannot be used here. See Guild Wars 2 Wiki:Copyrighted content for details.
- Assuming that this wiki is all-inclusive of any Guild Wars 2 info, or that it follows the conventions of other wikis
- This wiki has its own practices and processes and formatting guidelines.
- Believing that this site directly represents ArenaNet
- While ArenaNet owns and administers the servers that host Guild Wars 2 Wiki, the wiki itself is run by the volunteer community of Guild Wars 2 fans who edit here.
- For game support issues, contact Guild Wars 2 Support.
- For feedback or suggestions about the game itself, use the official Guild Wars 2 Forums.
- Assuming control of submitted content, or creating personal pages in the wrong place
