Main Page

Welcome to the wiki for Lithl campaigns. These pages are meant for detailing the settings and characters of tabletop roleplaying games run by Lithl, or any other GM given permission by Lithl to use this wiki for their own campaigns.

Getting started

To view pages related to a campaign, select the campaign you're interested in from the sidebar. For example, to view the homepage of the "Message in a Bottle" campaign, click Message in a Bottle.

Page editing on this wiki is restricted to approved accounts. If you wish to make changes to any articles, please contact Lithl and request approval. If you are a GM who wishes to use this wiki for their own campaign, you must also request a namespace for your campaign. All campaign articles should be restricted to their own namespace, to avoid page title collisions.

Editing this wiki as a GM

If you've been given GM privileges for a campaign, you will be able to edit pages in that campaign's GM namespace. The content of GM pages cannot be viewed by anyone other than the GM(s) for that campaign, and site admins, so it's an option to use for making notes you don't want players to see, or for writing up articles ahead of revealing the content to players. If you want the GM page to be revealed, you can move the page into the campaign's namespace from the GM namespace.

For example: Message in a Bottle:Main page is a public page in the Message in a Bottle campaign namespace. Anyone can read the page, whether they're logged in or not. Message in a BottleGM:Notes is in the Message in a BottleGM namespace, and as such only the GM can view it. If the GM wished to make that page visible to players, they could move Message in a BottleGM:Notes to Message in a Bottle:Notes.

Caveats

• Links to GM pages will reveal that the page exists (by not being a red link). Consider whether the title of the page would spoil any of its content.
• GM pages cannot be included into other pages. If you want to create a series of templates for structuring campaign pages and don't want to pollute the Template namespace with them, you can't put them in the GM namespace (and should therefore avoid creating templates which themselves spoil content of a GM page).
• If a GM page is added to a category, viewing that category page will reveal the existence of the GM page. Unauthorized users still won't be able to view the contents of the page, but digging through the categories on the site would reveal the existence of the page even if you don't link to it anywhere.

Useful interwiki links

This wiki has some useful interwiki links to allow you to link to outside resources. While many MediaWiki setups include interwikis to allow for things like wikipedia:Main page, this wiki has added a few more which you may want to take note of.

D&D Beyond

The following interwiki prefixes will send you to a D&D Beyond page:

• [[background:Acolyte]] yields background:Acolyte (background details page)
• [[class:Artificer]] yields class:Artificer (class details page)
• [[equipment:Abacus]] yields equipment:Abacus (equipment details page)
• [[feat:Aberrant-Dragonmark]] yields feat:Aberrant-Dragonmark (feat details page)
• [[list:Artificer]] yields list:Artificer (spell list for class)
• [[magicitem:Abracadabrus]] yields magicitem:Abracadabrus (magic item details page)
• [[monster:The-Demogorgon]] yields monster:The-Demogorgon (monster details page)
• [[race:Aarakocra]] yields race:Aarakocra (race details page)
• [[school:Abjuration]] yields school:Abjuration (spell list for school)
• [[spell:Acid-Splash]] yields spell:Acid-Splash (spell details page)—note that you can use this interwiki prefix in place of list and school, such as spell:class/Artificer or spell:school/Abjuration
• [[vehicle:Galley]] yields vehicle:Galley
• Additionally, beyond: can link to any part of the D&D Beyond website, including any of the above. For example, beyond:spells/class/Artificer, or beyond:My-Characters.

As with all wikitext links, you can change the display name, eg: [[background:Acolyte|my background]] displaying as my background. If you leave the display text portion blank, the link text without the interwiki prefix will be filled in automatically: [[background:Acolyte|]] becomes Acolyte.

Also take note how in all of the examples above where the page title contains a space, a hyphen is used instead. This is required. If you simply type a space (such as [[feat:Aberrant Dragonmark]], the wiki software will convert the space to an underscore, which will result in an incorrect link and a 404 error on the Beyond website.
