The fantasy
Adelpha is a virtual world, invented by Appeal for the purpose of a video game named Outcast.
Although a sequel was announced : "Outcast 2 : the Lost Paradise", the project was discontinued and left a number of fans behinds it.
Accordingly, this wiki contains informations from the first episode as well as a few of the second one, that were released during the early development (most of which are coming from The Kronos Project). Therefore, despite the fact that the documents of this wiki are intended to be released under a free documentation license, they contain documents and work of art that is still copyrighted to their creators : Appeal's members. Please respect their ownership.

Registering
Most of the pages of this wiki are editable for registered users.
Registering on this wiki is an automatic process : a confirmation e-mail will be sent to you to check you're human (versus a bot). If you don't want to provide your personal e-mail, simply provide a temporary one, it's ok (but you'll loose the benefit of automatic notifications).
Adding content
You can help making this wiki better by adding new articles and fixing / enhancing existing ones.
If you create and new article, put it in a category so the Special:Categories view is always up-to-date (every normal article should be categorized).
Articles can be in more than one category (e.g. MarionWolfe is in Category:Characters and Category:Outcast).
You can see the list of the current categories at Special:Categories.
If you add new content to the story (which you invented for instance), please make it clear for everybody, the best way being to put them in a separate namespace.
The Main namespace should only contain real facts, and original facts set by Appeal.
This way, possible incoherences due to different interpretations will not happen in a given namespace.
Useful extensions
This wiki supports the following extensions, which probably worth for you if you intend to enhance the wiki a lot :
- Page deletion bot : If you created a page with the wrong name and want to delete it, simply empty the page and save it. It will be deleted within a few days.
- Polyglot : If you want to translate an article or create an article in a language other than english (which is the default on this wiki), simply create the page "[PageName]/[ln]", where [PageName] is the same name as the original page (if existing) and [ln] is the 2-letters ISO language code (e.g. de, es, fr). For Instance Main_Page/fr is the main page in french !
- {{citation needed}}, {{clarifyme}} and {{POV-statement}} templates (and derivative ones) can be inserted into the article's body to ask for more information. Their text currently appears only as english but they can be used as is in all languages.
You should also have a look at Special:Version and the available templates. If there is no associated documentation, you'll find it directly at [1] or [2].
