Changes

The [[backstory|first page]] was created 10 15 years ago and since then we have had '''{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}''' articles created and '''{{NUMBEROFEDITS}}''' edits by '''{{NUMBEROFUSERS}}''' users. The Wurmpedia is growing daily and so is the faith in the information contained, all because of you , the player , and the drive for knowledge you hold.

There is little limit to what may be added to the Wurmpedia; anything Anything discovered by players may be added to the main pages providing the information is '''relevant''' and '''accurate'''. In the past player guides and recommendations have been permitted but over time these informative pieces of information have moved over to the [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/forum/86-game-guides/ official forums] where other players may provide additional insight and their experiences. Any ideas you have to add to the Wurmpedia are welcome! Any information added to the Wurmpedia should ideally be validated by another player and only reflect the current state of the game using the standard or Steam client on any of the live servers. Changes made in the unstable client or on the test server may be reverted, changed, or removed at any time. Any new information from those areas should first be discussed on the forums before being added to the Wurmpedia once implemented on the live client or servers. Information from code diving on Wurm Unlimited is not considered official as Wurm Online has continued to grow and change past Wurm Unlimited. Please verify any WU on live WO servers info before adding it.
