BG3Wiki is a collaborative, living project created and maintained by community volunteers. Anyone can edit and contribute to BG3Wiki, no sign-up necessary!
Don't be afraid to contribute – if you want to test the waters, you can access your personal sandbox to experiment in by clicking Here.
For guidelines, you can at any time consult the Editing Policy or the Style Guide, but this is not required to get started!
The basics
Creating an account
Creating an account is an optional but recommended step. Editing using an account attributes wiki edits to your account. You can edit pages without an account, but your IP address will be publicly logged.
Sandboxes
Click Here to create your personal sandbox page. You can use this to learn how to edit, or simply to experiment. You are free to edit this page as much as you wish, it is disconnected from the rest of the wiki.
Discussion pages
An article's Discussion page, or Talk Page is used to settle disagreements about an article. Use an article's Discussion page to discuss the article's contents and edits. Sign your comments using ~~~~.
Discord
We recommend you join the BG3Wiki Discord to discuss wiki editing with other contributors. This is completely optional, but be aware many decisions are taken during live discussions, even though we recommend the use of the Discussion page for most content articles.
Page history
Click the View history button above a page to see a history of edits performed on that page. Each line describes a revision of the page, including date/time, the contributor who made that edit, and (ideally) the reason for the edit. This can be helpful if you're not sure why an edit was made.
Other namespaces
There are other types of pages that use different guidelines and principles than the rest of the wiki.
Guides
The Guide namespace is where users can create and edit guides on BG3Wiki.
To create a Guide, simply start an article name with Guide:. For example, Guide:How to use torches.
Modding
The Modding namespaces is all about modding, such as how to create and use mods.
To create a Modding page, simply start an article name with Guide:. For example, Modding:How to use mods.
