 ====== Cyclopedia Mystara ======
-The Cyclopedia Mystara is a reference guide to the world of [[Mystara]], much like Wikipedia is to the real world. Mystara is a fantasy world created by TSR for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. The Cyclopedia includes [[history]], [[geography]], [[biographies]], [[magic]], [[religion]], [[science]], [[monsters]], and other [[society|cultural details]].
+**Mystara**<sup>TM</sup> is a campaign setting for the **Dungeons & Dragons**<sup>®</sup> fantasy role-playing game. It originated as the //Known World//, a semi-generic setting used in early adventure modules, first mentioned in the Module X1, [[Isle of Dread]], which was expanded upon in various D&D modules and sources, particularly a series of Gazeteers.
-===== Current Practices =====
+Main Article:  [[Mystara]]
-What is official Mystara is sometimes up to debate, but most of the Mystara community can agree on certain things being canon, and other things being unofficial.  Certainly published works by TSR should be considered official, even if they require a note about which edition of D&D they belong under.  Official material should go in the default or root namespace (see a note about name spaces below).
+  * [[faq]]
+  * [[articles|How to Add Articles]]
+  * [[index]]
-Unofficial content or works in progress (yet to be accepted as official) should go under the "unofficial" namespace.
+Major Sections
-Shared campaign materials should go under the "campaign" namespace, under a name for your campaign, for example the home page for mycampaign would be:
+  * [[history]]
-<code>
+  * [[geography]]
-http://mystara.us/campaign:mycampaign:home
+  * [[biographies]]
-</code>
+  * [[magic]]
+  * [[religion]]
-And of course personal stuff can go on your user page.
+  * [[science]]
+  * [[monsters]]
-==== A note about namespaces ====
+  * [[society|cultural details]].
-A namespace is analogous to a directory in a filesystem.  Referencing a directory in a filesystem usually comprises of a forward (/) or backward (\) slash, for example:
-<code>
-C:\directory\filename
-</code>
-Similarly, referencing a namespace comprises of a colon (:).  For example, if I create an article that belongs in the unofficial namespace, its path would be:
-<code>
-http://mystara.us/unofficial:article
-</code>
-===== Indices =====
-[[indexa]] [[indexb]] [[indexc]] [[indexd]] [[indexe]] [[indexf]] [[indexg]] [[indexh]] [[indexi]] [[indexj]] [[indexk]] [[indexl]] [[indexm]] [[indexn]] [[indexo]] [[indexp]] [[indexq]] [[indexr]] [[indexs]] [[indext]] [[indexu]] [[indexv]] [[indexw]] [[indexx]] [[indexy]] [[indexz]]
