User talk:Thepoodlechef

Welcome!
Well met, Thepoodlechef, and welcome to the Forgotten Realms Wiki! Thank you for your edit to the User:Thepoodlechef page. We hope you like the place and decide to stay and explore the Forgotten Realms with us.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful, that explain who we are and what we do and how we do it. You should find these a useful reference, or maybe they could give you some ideas for something to do.

It's our goal to be a complete and reliable encyclopaedia of the official Forgotten Realms in all its forms, and a valuable resource for all Realms fans, players, and dungeon masters. As such, we do not accept fan fiction, homebrew lore, and player characters. All information added to this wiki must be attributed to an official source. Information must not be copied from sourcebooks and novels. Please always give a source for your information, and explain what you've done in the "summary" box.

We hope you enjoy editing here. Please sign your messages on Talk and Forum pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, please leave a message on my talk page or ask any of the administrators about things.

Again, welcome! Happy scribing!

Welcome
To start I would suggest reading a few articles about people or places you are interested in take a look at how they are formatted and written. We do have a few policies (found here ) and the most important one is "no plagiarism". Once you find a subject that really catches your eye, feel free to add information from source books, edit any typos or mistakes you may notice or start a few articles on your own. I started with a lot of articles in the Shining South and am now working on the city of Ravens Bluff. Hope you enjoy your stay here! Ruf (talk) 06:24, October 24, 2018 (UTC)


 * And we encourage editors to use the Source Editor (select in your Preferences or choose it from the drop-down menu in the Visual Editor) because the Visual Editor does not handle some of our more complex infoboxes well. Wiki syntax is not hard to learn, and even the Source Editor has some formatting buttons you can use, if you wish. Feel free to ask questions on the Talk page that seems most appropriate. Most importantly, have fun! &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 15:15, October 24, 2018 (UTC)
