Overview

The TWC Wiki is intended to form a comprehensive evolving reference about the Total War series of games. It can include any subject relating to the whole TW Community, the series of games, the people, mods and modding. Other topics can also be included for instance articles on history, geography and archaeology which might be useful in modding or understanding the games. Articles relating to useful software, links to other useful sites and reference material would also be suitable.

Detailed information is also given about the TWC forums.

Anyone (with an account) can edit existing pages on the TWC Wiki, add new pages and add or amend categories. The success of the Wiki depends on as many people as possible lending a hand to add content and refine the existing articles.

Editing Advice

Unlike Wikipedia, or other Wiki's, users without an account cannot edit pages. It is preferable though that you do log in; you can make a new account on the Wiki very easily with just a user-name and password, you don't have to use the same username as used on the TW forums but it can be helpful.

For an on forum guide to editing the Wiki see here, questions may also be asked in that thread.

See also the Wikimedia Editing help link in the left hand side bar.

If you are stuck with a specific problem and want to ask other users please use the Help Desk.

Other help pages should be listed in Help Contents

Policy Explanation and Discussion Areas

For general policy and design discussion use the Pub.

For policy advice and discussion related to individual project areas see Project Pages.

Sysops and Bureaucrats

Bureaucrats can promote and demote users (including other bureaucrats). Sysops (a.k.a. wiki admins) can edit protected pages, block users, protect and unprotect pages, delete and undelete pages, and other things in that vein. Any reasonably well-trusted person can be promoted to sysop on request, e.g., most Citizens. The Wiki Editor, admins, and senior moderators can generally be promoted to bureaucrat if they request it. Everything is extensively logged and easily reversible, so abuse of privileges isn't likely to pose a serious problem.
