<!--Posting in official channels can have several repercussions:

  • To add secret information from the game, you must create a forum account as stated in How to Handle Secrets. See the "forum access" section below. Your forum account is separate from your wiki account.

Forum access

  • Game secrets and other information, such as most Quests, are not visible unless you have an account on the forum.
  • Your account name MUST be your character's name in Eternal Lands, and it must be activated by a forum moderator before you can log in. Your account will not be activated if your character's name does not exist in Eternal Lands. (see forum:567)
  • Your forum account is separate from your wiki account.

Searching the wiki

If your browser supports OpenSearch (Firefox and IE do) you can add "Eternal Lands Wiki (en)" as a search engine to your browser and search the wiki using your browser's search box.

Your browser should provide an easy way to switch search engines (Firefox has a drop down menu right next to the search input field) and should provide an option to add a new search engine in the same place (again, Firefox does this, if IE is different please add the appropriate information here).

Request for Admins

Wanted: People interested in doing administrative duties on the wiki. Payment - a sense of accomplishing something for the public good. Contact elwiki.net[at]googlemail[dot]com via email.

Duties include: Verifying that the name registered is a true player of Eternal Lands (http://game.eternal-lands.com/view_user.php?user=<USERNAME>) then setting up the privileges (non-el if not an existing character, editor if an existing character).

New default skin

Thanks to Tainted Angel, we now have a slightly modified default theme for the wiki, one of it's main features being the fact that it will span the entire width of the browser window.

Registered users can change the skin they are using in their preferences in case they don't like the default one.

Update: Users that registered before this post will have to change the skin to the new default skin "elWiki" in their preferences to see it.

Issues with the Wiki User Interface
