Lotro-Wiki.com:Users

Welcome to getting your feet wet, whether you've edited a wiki before or not please check out the welcome message below and spend time reading our Guidelines and other helpful links. This will help us all out as you start navigating the ins and outs of the wiki.

• Users are the initial starting rank of Lotro-Wiki.

• CAPTCHA is enabled - We are sorry for the inconvenience and we ask that you have patience. This is to ensure spammers and trolls have a harder time with making edits that don't matter, aren't related to the game, or just plain unnecessary. In a short time with a few edits you will be bumped to a higher rank!

• All edits are flagged for moderation - Again, not a huge deal as you should still see your edits in a short time. This is our second level of defense against spam.
  • Moderation means anything added or changed will remain hidden until approved by an admin.

NOTE: Until further notice, Due to the high volume of spammers:

• EMAIL confirmation is required to make edits.
• Users who try to post a URL after creating their account will be banned.

We sincerely hope that these 2 rules are temporary and are working on ways around the new innovation of spammers. We ask for your patience, again making edits, communicating on discord, and overall making honest contributions will get you to the next rank faster!

Welcome Message

Welcome to Lotro-Wiki!

Hello, Users, and welcome to Lotro-Wiki, the Lord of the Rings Online wiki! Thank you for your contributions, and we heartily encourage you to keep it up! Some useful pointers: Please read our Code of Conduct. Please check out the site Guidelines. Come chat with us on Discord: Lotro-Wiki discord server. Beginner's Guide to Editing is a good place to start if you are new to wiki editing. Check out the Community Portal for some useful editors' links. The Things to do page has lots of things to keep you busy! If you have any specific questions or comments about an article, just click the Discussion tab at the top to take you to the "Talk page", and add your ideas there. When commenting on Talk pages, please put ~~~~ (four tildes) at the end. This will automatically be replaced by your name and the date. If you have any general questions or comments, ask in the Contributors' Corner. Please set your timezone in your user preferences. Some articles will use that to display times in your local timezone. We also encourage you to take a moment and edit your user page (click the User Page tab above): Just a couple of lines to tell us about yourself and your interests. It's a good way to practice editing! Any information about your characters should be created on separate pages. To create your character pages, click here: Create new character We hope you enjoy editing here!
