Why create another account on this wiki?

Because the wiki, unlike forums, was designed for collaborative editing and keeps track of all changes made.

This is indeed the wiki of the players^[1]: any registered player can intervene freely (except on the pages stamped with the Lore's seal^[2]), to share tips, write chronicles, illustrate pages, enrich texts, etc.^[3]

Note, however, that for simultaneous writing by several people (faster and more efficient, when possible, than collaborative writing), contributors are advised to prefer a pad that they can open in the Ryzom Cloud (accessible with the same keys as the game itself).

Please note lastly that all contributors (registered users) of the Ryzom wiki :

• have access to the private Rocket Chat channel pj-ryzom_wiki for their exchanges, a channel which also allows you to easily contact the people in charge of its good operation^[4] ;
• not being active at all times (some, given the age of the wiki, have even been inactive for several years), you are advised to consult the list of active users before attempting to engage in a discussion/collaboration with one of them.

Account creation

Click on Request account (the link also exists on the top right) to fill in the form (in standard Mediawiki format) as follows:

• Username: not necessarily the name of the homin(e) you most like to animate in the game; the one you gave to another of your avatars will fit as well. As there is no automatic link between your Ryzom user account and the one you are opening in this wiki, you can also, if you (rightly) want to control your identity on the web, use the "penname" of your choice.
• Email address: may be created especially for the occasion, it must be real so that we can initiate the exchanges described below.
• Real name: its mention is mandatory.
• Resume or CV :
  • Choose File: optional, it must, if uploaded, contain a summary of your life in the game (and, if you wish, of the other one :-)) to verify your status of player.
  • Additional notes, mandatory if you have chosen not to upload the file characterized above, they must include a minima:
    • a short text showing unambiguously that you are neither a robot nor a company in need of clients (the validation of your registration, indeed, is not automatic);
    • the indication of your native language which will allow us to determine in which of the five wikis (DE, EN, ES, FR or RU) to create your user page.
  • List of websites: optional, it lists the URLs of the sites you may manage.
  • Terms of Service: these are read in one go and should not keep you from joining us. :-)

As soon as you will have mailed the request (Request account foot of the form), an email acknowledging receipt ("Subject: Confirmation of the email address for Ryzom Wiki") will be sent to you by Ryzom Support to the address you have given, worded as follows:

  Request account
  Your email address has been confirmed and will be listed as such in your account application.
  Return to the Main Page.

You will then have to wait for the second email to be able to log in under your wiki account. In the meantime, you can browse this page to start familiarizing yourself with the organization of the wiki (quite complex, due to its already long history and its multilingual nature) and consult the Writing Guide to get an idea of what to expect.

The second email mentioned above ("Subject: Creation of a Ryzom Wiki account") will contain a temporary password you will be asked to modify as soon as you log in for the first time with a definitive password, the one you should not forget... and which you are thus advised to note down. You will then be able to delete the second email, since the first one also contains the other word not to forget: your "login" (name of your Ryzom Wiki account).
