Welcome to the Encyclopaedia Malazica

What is the Encyclopaedia Malazica?

Until Steven Erikson himself provides us fans with all the information on the Malazan World, it is us fans, on whose shoulders rests the task of putting together the great puzzles, bringing light into the delicious mysteries and helping fellow fans to understand the intricacies of this great work. The Encyclopedia Malazica is a project that attempts to do just that - pool together our wits and observations and make the results of our many discussions (on the Malazan Empire Forums and otherwise) available to those, who do not have the patience to dig through hundreds of pages of obscure threads. A reference as you're reading or discussing the Malazan Book of the Fallen, to look up subjects that you forgot since your last read, or had you confused in the first place. At least that's the idea ... work has only just begun ;-).

Currently the wiki is private, to edit it you need a password, and in an attempt to keep up the standards of the wiki we're only going to give out the password to those who prove they are willing to work on the project. If you want to contribute to the effort, or report any errors or broken links, you should go to the encyclopedia forum (yes it's pretty dead, but it does get checked occasionally), or send an email to me at imperialhistorian@(no spam)googlemail.com, (remove the no spam obviously).

How does this Wiki thing work?

The idea behind this structure is to create a system of interlinked pages, on which a great number of people can collaborate. Where there are subjects not covered by the current set of pages, you create one. Where pages are empty, you write your own content for them. Where there are errors in existing articles, you fix them (just like that in the case of typos) via 'Edit this page' or suggest and discuss improvements in 'Discuss'. Take a look at Wikipedia to see the full effect of this setup.

Old stuff left for now
