Any other information: Despite Dungeons & Dragons' popularity and undisputed significance in nerd culture, there is (unbelievably!) currently no major D&D encyclopedia wiki.

The top four Google results for "D&D Wiki" are not encyclopedias as one would expect, but repositories of homebrew, or fan-made game rules. This includes Wikia's own dungeons.wikia.com, of which 84.9% of pages are either homebrew rules or verbatim copies of freely-distributable rules, and the primary namespace is reserved for homebrew.

I intend to relaunch the smaller dungeonsdragons.wikia.com, with the following goals:


 * Seed the site with high-quality, well-researched encyclopedic articles on the major D&D topics (spells, game mechanics, major characters, books, writers, etc), with an edition-neutral tone
 * Establish wiki guidelines and policies to standardize writing style
 * Standardize category naming and hierarchy
 * Recruit additional administrators as necessary to ensure site reliablity
 * Retake the URL dnd.wikia.com, which belonged to a D&D encyclopedia wikia before it was merged into the homebrew dungeons wiki in 2010. This is consistent with the non-English Wikias at that subdomain, which are encyclopedias.
 * In the long term, reach the #1 spot on Google for the search term "D&D Wiki"
 * Ultimately, establish a Dungeons & Dragons encyclopedia of equivalent depth, quality and ubiquity to Memory Alpha, the Star Trek wiki.
