  • It's a bit earlier than some people's annual cleanings, but we're going to do a Winter Cleaning! If you know of an article that is complete and generally good, but needs a bit of polish, please add {{Winter Cleaning|<some reasons go here>}} to it, filling in your reasons for doing so. This will indicate to the author and community the areas that you feel need work, allowing us to help bring the quality up a bit more. If your article has this template added to it, please do not remove it until the community feels that the quality is up to the standards we try to keep as a wiki. Please see Dungeons and Dragons Wiki:Winter Cleaning for more information, and happy cleaning (as happy as it ever gets anyway ;-) ).
    If an article is actually bad though, either bad for the game or actively unhelpful or whatever, then it should have the {{Delete|<some reasons go here>}} template applied. Unfortunately, it's not enough for an article to be complete to stay on the wiki if we want to keep our quality high. We should have been doing this all along anyway, but we got distracted early on with the completeness of an article over everything else.
  • We've recently forked from Wikia. There may be technical issues with some portions of the new wiki. Please leave detailed reports here if you notice anything odd. Important Note: Image files were not transferred from wikia, as there were a lot that had improper licensing information that we don't want to deal with here. You will need to re-upload any image files you would like to use.
  • Since the merge with DnD Wiki, all duplicates have been removed and all publications adapted, greatly expanding the Publication List. The rest of the DnD Wiki stuff is now mainly Canon material with a smatterig of other articles waiting to be adapted to Dungeons & Dragons Wiki standard and moved to their appropriate places. Any help is welcome!
  • We have merged with DnD wikia! Their articles have been imported, and we have created a new Canon section for them and general setting information. If you'd like to help with the process of bringing them into the new section (and we would like you to :-) ), please see DnDWiki:Introduction and Dungeons and Dragons Wiki:DnDWiki import.
  • We have a freshly written image policy! Due to consistent confusion and problems regarding uploaded images, all users should read it. Yes, even you.
  • Our first major hosted Open Game Content book has finally been uploaded -- the Dread Codex!
  • The 3.5e Mundane Weapons page has a shiny new look! Check it out, and add some of your own!
  • We now have a framework for martial maneuvers! Check out the first uploaded discipline, Chthonic Serpent!
