Before you can log in you must set your webpass in game: Log into the game and type '''/webpass atitd.org ''password''''' (meaning you replace '''''password''''' with your password).
+
'''Please note the atitd.net server is likely to be shut down soon <br>(and then atitd.net will point to here). <br>If you wish to copy content from private wikis or the forums, please do so soon.<br>For more info, see http://atitd.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=65&p=236'''
 
 
Once you have created a web pass you log in here with "Login with OpenId" (top right).
 
 
 
Your open id is '''atitd.org/openid/''YourName'''''.
 
 
 
You should be sent to a page to then type in your account name and password you set in game with the webpass command.  If you logged in to openid recently, it won't ask again.
 
 
 
==Using the Wiki==
 
 
 
Tale 4 Live has started and so has the Tale 4 wiki.  Please add comments on other problems with the wiki or other co-hosted sites at [[Server Improvements]].

Anyone with an ATITD game account can edit any page on this site. However, please read the [[Style Guide]] and information on [[Help:Formatting | Formatting]] first.

Please read our [[Policies]] before editing. If you have any difficulties, please contact a [[A Tale in the Desert:Administrators|wiki admin]].
 
 
 
If you have a suggestion for how to improve the wiki, please add it to the [[Server Improvements|Suggestions]] page. If you want to contribute but don't know where, take a look at the [[Spotlight]] page, or just browse around and look for pages where your input would be beneficial.
 
 
 
==Improving the Wiki==
 
Right now, there is only a fraction of the content on the new wiki that was on the old ones. If you can spend even a few minutes adding a little something, that would be a big help.  Starting [[Special:WantedPages|here]], for example.
 
  
Also, the new software is a little different than the old wikis, so things may be a bit rough until we all get used to it. Anyone that's familiar with editing Wikipedia should feel at home, however.
