How do I start?
- You will need to create an account before you're able to edit pages.
- Be bold! If you see something that needs improvement, don't be afraid to edit it. Wikis are built off of changes made by readers like yourself. If you see something you think could be improved, improve it! Just click the "Edit" button at the top of any page to edit its contents.
- You can also start editing from a specific subheading (ie. Fishing#Fishing Areas) by using the "Edit" buttons there.
- Get in touch with the community! Join the Discord. You can get help specifically for this wiki in the #wiki-discussion channel.
- Don't be afraid to edit! If you make a mistake, you or someone else can easily fix it – so take the initiative and make a change if you think it's useful.
- Tip: when editing, you can also use the "Show preview" button to check how the page will look before you save it!
What to do
- Main article: Contributing/To-Do List
If you want to help but don't know what you can do, here are a couple of things you can do: This page contains a list of tasks that need to be done on the wiki. If you're unsure what a specific item means, you can ask for help here.
If you want to help with the wiki, please create a Wiki account to enable editing. You can also join our Discord and head to the #wiki-discussions channel to discuss anything related to editing the wiki.
Priority Tasks
- Main article: Melvor Wiki:Tasks
These are the Tasks we need help with the most, and should be prioritised if possible. This page will be updated on the regular.
Projects
- Main article: Melvor Wiki:Projects
Projects are larger goals that will likely take a decent amount of time to complete. If you finish one of these, please mention it in the discord.
Current Projects

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Into the Abyss Expansion | BasChana | Low | #wiki-discussion | Several new pages need to be created and old pages to be updated for the new release. |

Maintenance Tasks
- Main article: Melvor Wiki:Maintenance
Maintenance Tasks are smaller things that tend to involve proofreading and touching up of existing pages. As such, the items on this page are more open-ended rather than things that can be truly finished.
What not to do
A lot of the content on the Wiki is also generated via Lua functions. Please be cautious around this. If you notice a page generated by Lua, contact one of the Wiki Admins before editing the page.
If you wish to add information on pages with generated content, please edit the text above the placement of the template. For example, 
Crown of Rhaelyx.
