Post by Forum Moderators Team »

There have been numerous important forum posts and wiki articles written by users and developers. We reference these pages a lot, and decided to put them together in a convenient list.
Posting Guidelines — A list of guidelines for forum behavior. You must read these before posting!

Code of Conduct — These are the rules for the multiplayer servers.

Wesnoth Philosophy — A great article by Dave (the original creator of Wesnoth) that outlines some basic design principles.

Luck in Wesnoth — Another article by Dave. This one explains the presence of random numbers in the game.

How to Report a Bug Properly — Without the right information, it’s really hard to help people.

Wesnoth on IRC — Interacting with other Wesnoth players and contributors isn’t limited to the lobby and forums. You can chat live over IRC too.

Wesnoth on Discord — You can chat about Wesnoth over on our Discord server as well.

Add-on Server Rules — You should read these before you upload anything to our add-on server.

Fan Ladder — The development team is against having any official ranking/stat system for online play, but some fans who wanted that feature got together and made it happen (unofficially).

@Wesnoth on Mastodon — Wesnoth’s official Mastoson account.

How to Critique Art — Some guidelines and things to keep in mind when giving artistic critique on these forums.

Guide to UMC Content — Contains a brief description and other facts about the custom content that users have made.

Short URLs — How to create shortened URLs to link to threads and posts on the Wesnoth forums.
------
The Add-ons Server — Allows viewing and downloading add-ons from a browser rather than the in-game add-on manager.

Replays — Allows viewing historical replays from the Primary MP server in a browser.

Units Database — Allows viewing unit information for both mainline and add-ons in a browser.

Site Status — Shows the status of various sites and servers.

Translation Statistics — Shows the current progress of translating the game into different languages.
