[edit] Working Together

Our vision is to create a complete Might and Magic Heroes VII information resource. Everyone is welcome to correct, expand and enhance this information web site. This page will teach you how to get started. Whatever you do, remember to be respectful to the work of other contributors, and always feel free to add your personal contribution.

[edit] Coordination

To see which pages other people are working on, to discuss your input, get feedback for your ideas, and for any other wiki-related discussion, head over to: The Wiki Collaboration Thread on Heroes Community

[edit] Summarize Your Edits

When editing a page, don't forget to fill out the Summary box - to briefly summarize what you changed or added. For example "Added building descriptions", "Corrected centaur hit points" or "Added more siege strategies". This makes it easier for everyone to follow the changes, as well as to see what you have contributed.

[edit] Getting Started

To prevent spam and ensure quality of contribution, AOH HOMM7 Wiki is linked to Heroes Community member database. To log in you will need to have an account at Heroes Community with at least five posts on the forums. We apologize for the inconvenience this may cause to non members. However, thanks to this security step our wiki is free from annoying captchas.

If you are new to HC, a good way to make your first posts is joining a discussion on the subject that you wish to write about here - you can draft your pages on HC forums and get useful feedback from other HC members. By the time you've done this you will be ready to log in to the wiki. Please note: if your posts get deleted from HC forums and your HC post count drops below 5, you will not be able to log in until you restore it to 5 or above.

When you have a Heroes Community account with at least five posts on the forums, click LOG IN in the gray bar on top of the page and enter your HC username and password.

[edit] History

The Age of Heroes HOMM7 wiki system has been cloned from its older brother Age of Heroes HOMM6 wiki by Valeriy (AOH/HC admin). The HOMM7 Wiki was opened shortly after the release of HOMM7 has been confirmed.
