Overview

The TWC Wiki is intended to form a comprehensive evolving reference about the Total War series of games. It can include any subject relating to the whole TW Community, the series of games, the people, mods and modding. Other topics can also be included for instance articles on history, geography and archaeology which might be useful in modding or understanding the games. Articles relating to useful software, links to other useful sites and reference material would also be suitable.

Detailed information is also given about the TWC forums.

Anyone with a TWC account can contribute to the Wiki. Its The success depends on as many people as possible lending a hand to add content and refine the existing articles. To get access on the wiki, please ask for an account on this TWC thread. Other Wiki discussion on the forum can be found here.

TWC Wiki Team

The TWC Wiki Team is the branch of Content Staff responsible for updating and maintaining the TWC Wiki.

We are always looking for new people to join our team and help out working on the Wiki. If you are interested then please contact the current Wiki Director listed below or Content Hex who will be more than happy to talk to you about joining the team or answer any questions you might have. Previous experience editing a Wiki is not required, but if you have some then that is fantastic!

Wiki Director

If you're interested in helping out, or have any questions, please contact the current Wiki Director: Vacant: please contact a Content Hex

View the list of former Wiki Directors below:

Former Directors

Initially the Wiki Director was a curial position in which directors were elected by the curia.

  • Perikles: The first Wiki editor.
  • Makanyane: Next elected Editor but resigned her Citizenship and therefore Editor position before the end of her first term.
  • Scorch: Served two terms.
  • Spiff: One term.
  • Thanatos: One term.

On September 17, 2008 an amendment was passed in which this became a non-elected position since the entire Wiki branch had been integrated into the Content Staff.

User Rights

Main Article: TWC Wiki:User Rights

Wikis are managed through a number of user rights that come with the MediaWiki software the wiki uses. The major ones are Bureaucrat and Sysop (administrator). The Hexagon Council + Wiki Director receive both, while a Wiki Team member may receive administrator as needed. Notable previous Hex, directors and team members may continue to hold their rights. These are ultimately held by highly trusted users and the appropriate staff. Bureaucrat offers the ability to rename users and change any user rights on the wiki, while administrator offers almost everything else including protection, interface changes, blocking and so on. Minor roles such as patroller are typically handed out to wiki team members and consistent editors.

History of the TWC Wiki

The idea of TWC hosting a Total War Wiki was first raised by Professor420 in this thread in 2006. At that time the site was owned by Ogre and integrating a Wiki on the TWC server was not possible. At start-up General Sun provided a separate hosting arrangement for the Wiki. After Imb39 purchased the site that wiki was transferred here to the TWC domain.

Initially, the Wiki Director was a curial position in which directors were elected by the curia, a curial committee was also created which can be viewed in the archives here. The entire Wiki branch was subsequently integrated into the Content Staff, and in 2008 an amendment was passed in which the Wiki Director became a non-elected staff position.
