Welcome

Welcome to The Project Zomboid Wiki (PZwiki for short) community portal! The community portal is where the community of the PZwiki can come together to organize and discuss changes to the wiki.

Project Zomboid is still in development and therefore requires continuous updates and support from community volunteers as the game develops.

The PZwiki would appreciate help in any way provided, so long as it follows the basic wiki rules and style guide. If you'd like to make any general suggestions or ask a question, please use the discussion page or join the discussion on the official Discord (pzwiki_editing).

To start editing the wiki, we require that you create an account. If you happen to be having any issues creating an account, please email kirrus@theindiestone.com with the email address you tried to sign up with.

PZwiki has many userboxes that you can add to your user page. Wearing them can let other editors know more about you.

Help

The following four sections are designed to help new editors get started on the PZwiki.

Template:Section/h3 To start editing the wiki, it's better to visit the help page first. There you can find a list of help pages that can help you with editing:

Template:Section/h3 All the policies are available in the policies, the important ones are:

  • There is a language policy in the wiki that all editors are expected to follow.
  • PZwiki also has a simple rules that all editors are expected to follow.
  • Finally, style guide is a guide that expect you to follow the wiki's editing style.

Template:Section/h3 You can start contributing the wiki from the following:

  • Tasks gives you a list of tasks that you can help with.
  • Projects shows the current projects wiki is working on.
  • Site maintenance lists articles, templates, files and other pages that need to be fixed, updated, created, etc.

Template:Section/h3 The following list shows pages that the wiki is maintaining. The full list can be found under site maintenance.

  • Stub articles: 118
  • Aritcles in need of improvement: 69
  • Outdated articles: 14
  • Translation needed: 40

Projects

Project Zomboid is a vast game with many game mechanics, items, locations and more, therefore organizing our contributors is incredibly important. A project is a community run endeavor where the contributors focus on a certain ideal, rather than having contributors who just come and go and edit whatever they feel like editing. Projects allow us to come together as a community to gather and discuss design decisions, overhauls, or work that needs to be done, prioritizing such matters.

This is a current list of projects that anyone can contribute to.

Welcome again to the monthly summary! February is technically the shortest month in the year (less with the leap day this year), though with me writing the summary on each Sunday, I guess it's more dependent on the weeks' layout than the days alone. Anyway, this we got a lot to cover this month, so let's get into it!… [Read more]
February 4, 2024
Welcome everyone to the summary of the first whole month of 2024! Now that we're deep in 2024, I archived all the 2023 monthly summaries to the 2023 archive, and changed the header names so they refer more to what the news were about.… [Read more]
