UOGuide:Introduction
Welcome visitor! You have been lucky enough to locate one of the greatest Ultima Online resources. If you have not yet created a bookmark to this site, make sure you do. The best page for a bookmark would be the Main Page, as it will be updated the most.
UOGuide can best be described as an encyclopedia. One of the goals of this site is to list all possible information about UO. This site grows mainly through community contributions. To that end, UOGuide can be edited by anyone (including you) at any time on almost any page.
How Can I Help?
There are several things you can do to help enhance and grow UOGuide.
Register an Account
Have you ever posted on a forum before? Editing pages on UOGuide is the exact same process. Being able to post on a forum means you can edit UOGuide! To get started, you need to register an account.
Edit a Page
On most pages you will see an "Edit" tab at the top. Click the edit tab and it will take you to the source content for that page. You can now update or add to the content for that page. If you need help with wiki markup take a look at the Help page, which is always accessible in the left menu. Once you think you are done, click the "Show Preview" button near the bottom to review your work. If everything looks okay press the "Submit" button. If not, make more changes and preview the page again.
Create a New Page
There are three methods of starting a new page.
- Click any red link on the site and it will bring you directly to that page for editing.
- Type your desired page name in the site search box on the left menu and press "Go".
- If a page with that name already exists, you will be taken to it. Add the information you were going to anyway if it is not already there.
- If no page with that name exists, search results will appear trying to find matches. At the top of the page it will say "There is no page titled "Page Name". You can create this page." Click the red "create this page" text to begin.
- You can also type the page name directly into your browsers URL bar. For example, if you want to create a page for Cookies, type www.uoguide.com/Cookies and visit that page. It will tell you the page does not exist, press the "edit this page" link to begin the page.

Promote UOGuide
When someone has a question about something and you know UOGuide has the answer, link them to the page. It is very easy to remember UOGuide pages because the URL structure is simple. For example, if someone wants to know about all the Spellweaving spells, link them to the Spellweaving page by giving them the url:
- www.uoguide.com/Spellweaving
Another method you can help UOGuide is by linking to it on your UO related websites. Any link is fine, including a simple text one. Here are a couple banners you can also used:
