On the old official Lore Wiki, there were quite some pages that had no content at all, except for a "coming soon" placeholder. You can ignore these pages, since we will remove them. The idea is to leave missing pages as red-links (page not existing) instead of luring people in just to find out that there is nothing there. You can identify these pages easily since they will most of the time just contain: | On the old official Lore Wiki, there were quite some pages that had no content at all, except for a "coming soon" placeholder.

Please do not move the pages directly. The imported pages names with the prefixes are not what we'd like to have. Some page names are also shortened. We won't do that either.

Hello volunteer and thanks in advance!
This will be your guide to merging the old Lore Wiki and the Ryzom Wiki (this wiki).
You can find all imported pages in Category:WikiImport.
We have imported all the pages on the old official Lore Wiki into this Wiki. Now there are several things to consider and you can help! Since we want to really merge both wikis to become one, just importing is not enough. There is much duplicated information present since some of the official lore was already copied here years ago. Other things are missing completely or should be part of already existing articles.
Many page names are prefixed which detemines their origin on the old official Lore Wiki.
prefix | origin |
L_ | Lore |
C_ | Chronicles of Atys |
EC_ | Chronicles of Erlan |
Unfortunately not all pages have a prefix and therefore may belong to any section. We suggest to crossreference the old official Lore Wiki at http://atys.ryzom.com/projects/puben.

Basically there are two ways of getting helped.
