Campaign Wiki Style Guide
This wiki is a collaborative, spoiler-free record of our campaign.
It should contain only information that the party has discovered, believes to be true, or reasonably suspects.
The goal is to create a useful knowledge base and an enjoyable chronicle that we can look back on long after the campaign has ended.
—
General Principles
- Write from the perspective of the party.
- Do not include DM knowledge or spoilers.
- Keep factual information separate from speculation.
- Link to existing pages whenever possible.
- If you're unsure, create a stub page rather than leaving plain text.
—
Naming Pages
Namespaces and page names should always use:
- lowercase letters
- underscores instead of spaces
Examples:
pcs:draiach pcs:lyra npcs:lulu locations:baldurs_gate items:shield_of_the_hidden_lord sessions:2026-06-26
Some sections will need sub-sections. For example, locations in Baldur's Gate should be grouped together under Baldur's Gate. Examples:
locations:baldurs_gate:elfsong_tavern locations:baldurs_gate:blushing_mermaid locations:baldurs_gate:uncivil_servant
Page headings should use proper English.
Example:
====== Draìach Shessair ======
—
Creating Links
Whenever something already has its own page, link to it.
Example:
We travelled to [[locations:elturel|Elturel]] with [[npcs:lulu|Lulu]].
Avoid creating duplicate pages with different names.
Unless important, each page only needs to be linked the first time it is mentioned on a given page. For example, if Elturel is mentioned several times in a Session page, we only need to link to it the first time.

Character Journals
Character journals are personal. They will allow each person to write their own PC's perspective, if they wish.
They may include:
- opinions
- emotions
- theories
- misunderstandings
- speculation
Journal entries do not need to be objectively correct.
Journals will be created under:
pcs:pcname:journal
For example:
pcs:draiach:journal
—
Shared Pages
The following pages should remain factual wherever possible:
- Sessions
- NPCs
- Locations
- Items
- Timeline
If something is uncertain, clearly state that it is believed or suspected rather than confirmed.
—
Mysteries & Theories
Mysteries & Theories should record unanswered questions and our thinking around them.
When something is solved:
- Update the relevant page.
- Move the mystery to a “Resolved” section rather than deleting it.
—
Current Quests
Quests should record tasks we have set out to accomplish.
When a quest is completed:
- Update the relevant page.
- Move the quest to the “Completed Quests” section rather than deleting it.
—
Sessions
Each game session gets its own page, named for the date in which that session was played.
Suggested naming:
sessions:2026-06-26 sessions:2026-07-10 sessions:2026-07-24
Each session page should include:
- Summary
- Important Events
- NPCs Met
- Locations Visited
- Treasure
- Outstanding Quests
- Links to player journals
—
Images
Upload images using descriptive filenames.
Where appropriate, start the name with the section it relates to, followed by the name, and finally the type of picture.
Examples:
npcs_lulu_portrait.jpg items_shield_hidden_lord.png locations_elturel_map.webp
Avoid filenames such as:
image1.jpg photo.png
—
Editing
Feel free to improve pages created by others.
However:
- Preserve each player's own journal entries.
- Correct factual mistakes rather than rewriting someone's writing style.
- If in doubt, discuss significant changes with the group.

Most Important Rule
This wiki exists to make the campaign more enjoyable.
Clarity is more important than perfection.
