-* [https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce MediaWiki release mailing list]
+* A player-written encyclopedia for the vast virtual world of [http://www.lusternia.com Lusternia].
+* A compendium of history, mythology, bestiary, geography, and other studies of Lusternia.
+* A place where new and old explorers and lore-lovers of Lusternia can share and expand their knowledge.
+|-
+|style="border: 1px solid #cccccc; color: #000;"|'''What are the Archives not?'''
+* The Archives run on [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] software, but it is not a pure wiki. That means not anyone can contribute; editing is restricted-access only.
+* They are not the be-all, end-all of authority on Lusternia information. Though we'll do our best to make sure there is no misinformation within these pages, most entries are contributed by players and not by the administration of Lusternia and any information that cannot be verified on the official website, within the game, or directly from the Lusternia administration should be taken with a grain of salt. That said, our Chroniclers are unparallelled in their depth of Lusternia knowledge, from the epic histories to the most trivial minutiae, and this disclaimer is meant as no slight to them.

+|style="border: 1px solid #cccccc; color: #000;"|'''So I'm here. Where do I go?'''
+* You can search for anything you like,
+* Browse the available [[Special:Categories|Categories]],
+* See what's been changed or added recently in the [[Special:Recentchanges|Recentchanges]] page,
+* And much more. Check out the sidebar!
+|-
+|style="border: 1px solid #cccccc; color: #000;"|'''But doesn't this defeat the purpose of finding knowledge within the game?'''
+* Quest information and information that helps you further your character in the game will not be included in the Archives, excepting in certain special contexts.
+* Those who wish to gain information solely through their characters in Lusternia may still do so; this supplementary material is an optional tool, not a forced replacement.
+* There will still be much in Lusternia not accessible here, such as the esoteric knowledge of Houses and Divine Orders.

+*Only those approved to contribute to the Archives may create an account.

+The Chroniclers of Lore are the approved contributors to the Archives.
