Creating your first article

Only registered users can create a new article. Before you create one, you might want to try editing existing articles to get a feel for using wiki markup language. Make sure there is not an article with the same title or subject as the one you wish to create and the subject is suitable for the wiki: UnderWiki only covers subjects related to Underworld Ascendant. If you search for an article that does not exist you can create it by clicking the redlink beside the text: Create the page "Searched Term" on this wiki!.

Title for your new article

UnderWiki uses title case for article names. When writing a name, use capital first letters for all words except for articles, prepositions, and conjunctions unless one of them is the first word.

Examples

• Rotworm Skin Swamp Boots (not Rotworm skin swamp boots or rotworm skin swamp boots)

Page layout

UnderWiki articles generally follow the following structure:

Introductory sentence:	"The knight Cabirus is among the first to brave the Stygian Abyss. Thereafter, he wanted to establish a colony within the Abyss, and nearly did so. However, Cabirus died unexpectedly, and his fledgling colony broke apart. "
Sections	Lore Previous Appearances

Main article: UnderWiki:Citations

In general, pieces of information that can be easily verified by logging in Underworld Ascendant do not need citations. On the other hand, the technical aspects or the inner mechanics of the game should be properly sourced. Never copy and paste text from another source into an article, UnderWiki requires all original work to be attributed to the source, or the result is plagiarism.
