Forgotten Realms Wiki:Requests

The Requests page is for making requests for new articles or edits to be made to existing articles, in order to fix problems and better target our work to meet the needs of our readers and Forgotten Realms fans.

You may request, for example: Please do not request more than a few tasks at a time so that the list does not grow absurdly large. Please don't make requests idly either; focus on things useful to you or important to the setting or the wiki. Tell us why you want to know or what you want to use it for, so we know we can help the fans. Furthermore, focus your requests on specific topics, not wider subjects, so they can be more easily addressed. Requests that are against existing policy will not be addressed. Changes to policy will not be addressed here, but at individual policy discussions (on Talk pages or in the Forum).
 * New article: Ask for a new article to be written. Be aware that a new article takes effort in research and writing, and editors might not have the information available, so new articles aren't often likely to be written.
 * More information: Ask for more information to be added to an article. As above, this takes effort and so won't be very likely.
 * Rewrite: If you find a page containing information copied outright from a sourcebook, then notify us so that it can be deleted, rewritten, or tagged for later clean-up. See the Plagiarism template.
 * Copy-edit: A professional-level copy-editing of a page to clear up spelling mistakes, bad grammar, confusing language, present-tense and out-of-universe points-of-view, and untidy formatting. This will generally be handled by User:BadCatMan, User:Lhynard, or preferably by another native-English-speaking editor (add your name to the list here if you feel capable).
 * Referencing: Ask someone to find a reference for an unreferenced article.
 * Fact check: Does something not sound right or do you think you know better? Ask for a second opinion on some information in an article.
 * Bug check: If you find a bug or broken template or code, then maybe we can fix it if you notify us.
 * New feature: Request a new feature. Be aware that this may require extensive coding, wide-scale changes, be against policy, or require someone to manage it, so these aren't likely to be fulfilled.
 * Help: If you need some help crafting an article or learning about an aspect of the wiki, then you can ask us here. Lengthy instructions will be directed to individual Talk pages.
 * Something else: If it's something else that needs doing, then try us.

 * Chasme
 * Article: Chasme
 * Type: New article
 * Reason: This is the most-requested demon article on the wiki by number of links, and I'm particularly interested in it, since it comes up a lot in the adventures of Vajra Valmeyjar and friends. I do not have access to any of the sources that describe it nor to the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons comics.
 * Information: I believe 3e information is found in the Book of Vile Darkness and 4e info. in Manual of the Planes. A picture for one already exists here: File:Chasme - Dave Allsop.jpg.
 * Requested by: Lhynard (talk) 02:13, April 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * Response: I plan to cover chasme as part of my comics work; they appear in issues #1 and #3. I recall some appearances in old FR novels too. More 3rd edition stats are in Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss. — BadCatMan (talk) 02:30, April 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * Catlord
 * Article: Catlord
 * Type: New article
 * Reason: A strange and intriguing character/race of the Realms. I'll have some lore to add eventually as part of my Advanced Dungeons & Dragons comics work (I've started a bit with the kittenlord), but some background to use as a basis would be helpful. Every time I see the Catlord / catlords in the Realms, they're a subject of mystery, so I'm not sure where to go with it. Are they a race, is it a person?
 * Sources: There's a Catlord NPC in the Epic Level Handbook, but that's for the Greyhawk setting, which may be why the Catlord is so obscure. A race of "cat lords" appear in the short story "A Virtue by Reflection" in Realms of Valor. I suspect there's some 2e lore to this I'm not familiar with.
