This is a brief guide to editing and getting involved in the Wowpedia community. If you're looking for more in-depth instructions, try browsing the Help category, or read the suggested articles at the community portal.

Why Wowpedia?
Wowpedia is editable by anyone with an account. We aren't restricted by what can be found in the client files, so you will find that Wowpedia is often more exhaustive than your average database. On the same page you find basic technical information, you will also find player recommended tips and tricks, mathematical analysis, lore, and trivia.

Wowpedia is a community effort. Here you can meet and work with fellow players who are just as crazy about herbalism as you are with whom you can exchange knowledge, making each of you, and the rest of the community, more knowledgeable about it. Pick a pet project; we recommend it. It won't be long before you find others with the same interests.

 * As you read, you'll notice blue and red words on the page. The blue words will take you to an article that word represents.  Red links represent articles that have not been created yet.
 * Navigation boxes can be found in the top, bottom, and upper right corners of each article. Use them to browse related articles.

How do I Edit?
Don't be afraid to edit - anyone can edit almost any page, and we encourage you to have a go! Find something that can be improved, either in content, grammar, or formatting, and fix it.

You can't break a wiki. Anything can be fixed or improved later. So go ahead, find a page and edit. Be bold!.
