| style="padding: 10px;" | 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 organise and discuss changes to the wiki.  


== Things anyone can do ==
''[[Project Zomboid]]'' is still in development and therefore requires continuous updates and suppоrt from community volunteers as the game develops.  
Until the game is released there isn't a great deal for people to do at the moment..
*Add [[Special:WantedPages|missing pages]]
*[[:Category:Stub articles|Add more content to stub articles]]
*[[:Category:Articles in need of improvement|Work on current pages in need of improvement]]
*Help with translating pages
*Add pages for these [[Special:UnusedFiles|unused images]] (excluding the half whiskey and possibly bowls too.)
*Change unnecessary capital letters to lower case. A lot of links on various pages have been spelt with capital letters when they are in the middle of a sentence. These need to be changed to lower case where appropriate.
*Move pages for things that are currently not in the game to the [[:Category:Notyetingame]] category.


=== Reporting Spam ===
When reporting spam the first thing you should do is check to make sure that the article in question is not focused on Project Zomboid. Check the page's title, look to see that there is not an extensive history for the page. If you are not sure that the article is not legitimate leave a note on the article's discussion page.


If you are absolutely positive that the article is spam and does not belong on the wiki insert the following into the article, before any content:
The ''PZwiki'' would appreciate help in any way provided, so long as it follows the basic [[PZwiki:Wiki Rules|wiki rules]] and [[PZwiki:Style guide|style guide]]. If you'd like to make any general suggestions or ask a question, please use the [[PZwiki talk:Community portal|'''discussion page''']].
  <nowiki>{{Deletion|Spam|speedy=1}}</nowiki>
Preview to make sure a red box has appeared on the page, then save your changes. An admin will delete the article after review. To report someone you believe is a spambot simply leave a message on [{{fullurl:Special:ListUsers|group=sysop}} an admin's talk page].


=== Adding Pages To Categories ===
When creating a new page or coming across a page that hasn't been added to an appropriate category, edit using this format:
  <nowiki>[[Category:NAME]]</nowiki>
You can find a listing of category names on [[Special:Categories|this page]].


=== Adding Notice Boxes To Pages ===
To start editing the wiki, we require that you [[Special:CreateAccount|create an account]]. If you happen to be having any issues creating an account, please send an email to [mailto:kirrus@theindiestone.com kirrus@theindiestone.com] with the email address you tried to sign up with.
Notice boxes are the boxes added to the top of pages to indicate problems or concerns with the article. One example is the ''in need of improvement'' notice box:
|}
{{NoticeBox|1|#ff0|desc=This article or section may be '''in need of improvement'''. Editors are encouraged to add any missing information to the article, while verifying that the article's current content is correct.}}
[[Category:Community]]
Adding this notice box to a page is as simple as inserting this line at the top:
| width=20% height=1000px rowspan="2" | <!--
  <nowiki>{{Notice|Improve}}</nowiki>
##############################
Adding notice boxes will not only display helpful information, but it may also add the article to a special category. For a list of notice boxes, see [[Template:Notice|this page]].

Community portal
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 organise and discuss changes to the wiki.

Project Zomboid is still in development and therefore requires continuous updates and suppоrt 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.


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

Welcome
Welcome to The PZwiki
The PZwiki has 18,254 pages (3,944 articles) since April 7, 2011.
We are continuously updating the wiki to make the most complete guide for Project Zomboid.
Spiffo, the Indie Stone Mascot of Choice. Also likes burgers, fast food, and is ingame to help.
