Unreal Wiki reloaded

As you may have noticed, Unreal Wiki has migrated from the old UseModWiki software to a recent version of MediaWiki.

Currently we are in the process of getting (re-)started with content. Pages and images have been imported from the old Unreal Wiki and can be browsed as before. Old links via http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/wiki/Page_Name now redirect to http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/Legacy:Page_Name. Note that the MediaWiki software only ignores case on the first character of the page name, while UseModWiki ignored case on the first letter of every word in the page name. Imported page and image names have been normalized to use a capital letter at the start of every word. This may result in some external links being broken now.

As part of the restart, we want to create a better topic structure for the old an new knowledge to be documented. See the Help out section below to find out how you can help in this process.

General

What is Unreal Wiki and how can you use it?

Help out

Unreal Wiki is seeking to provide comprehensive documentation about UnrealEd and Unreal Engine games and tutorials about creating content for them. You can help out in a number of ways, for example by writing tutorials, documenting engine features and, most importantly, improve existing documentation.
