This ''Pangaea wiki'' came into existence because the original wiki for this game stopped functioning properly. But because even if the content failed to display as a page, we could still view the source code for each page and migrate the contents over to it's current location. It is a tedious endeavor to move things over manually but it is worth it so we'll be able to view our content.

This place is a source of information about our Pangaea World! All content is expected to be relevant to the current server version.

Notes

  • The wiki is very CASE SENSITIVE when it comes to links and filenames
  • When you move a page to a new name, it will create a REDIRECT which forwards people to the current location
  • Think of using Templates like you are actually filling in forms, manual is on the template pages themselves
  • Please Use your UserPage like a sandbox to test out formatting or pre-creating content
  • There are sometimes hidden notes which can only be seen while editing, <!-- putting these around the message -->.
  • If you wish to update a picture, then edit it and upload a new version of the file.
