FFXIclopedia wants you! Together we are building an encyclopedia relating to Final Fantasy XI and a wiki community. As a wiki, you can edit virtually any article on FFXIclopedia right now, or create a new one! To learn more about wiki in general, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial and experiment in their sandbox.

You can post comments about the FFXIclopedia at the Comments Page, review the Help directory or our policies, or contact the administrators or other FFXIclopedia users by leaving a message on their talk page. If you haven't done so already, you will want to create an account so that you can begin editing.

Help out

If you are looking for ways to help out, you can participate in a Collaboration.

Things to do

Collaborations

Collaboration of the Month

Help create/edit the Job Specific Equipment, FFXIclopedia's current Collaboration of the month! Please help to improve it to featured article standard. Looking for a smaller project? Try filling in the missing information in the Fireworks or Furniture articles.

Item Pages

Per the Item Template, several hundred articles need links wikified for:

Inclusion of the {{AH}} template. See Template:AH for more details.

Key Items

We've introduced a new way to format key item pages in response to the new subcategories implemented in the game menu. See Category talk:Key Items to see how you can help.

Mob Pages

Mob drop tables for a number of zones needs to be filled in. Adding information to even just one cell makes a difference!

Note from the Lead Editor

I wanted to post a quick comment to say thanks and make a short reminder to the community.

First, thanks to those of you who are adding content to the FFXIclopedia. This is a community driven project that is free-to-use. Those of you who have been adding content to the FFXIclopedia are, I hope, enjoying the project and enjoying the community. The FFXIclopedia requires the active participation of its users in order to grow, stay current, and ultimately survive.

Second, a word of warning. Respect your fellow FFXIclopedia users. The FFXIclopedia requires continuous additions, subtractions and edits in order to be the most useful to its users. In order to accomplish this it is important to have as many people as we can working on the FFXIclopedia. In the past we have lost some valuable users based on disagreements about how things should be added/worded/attributed/etc. This need not happen. Remember to respect the other users. Everyone does this in their spare time for no compensation.

Thanks again and long live the FFXIclopedia. --Gahoo
