This is the main help hub for the Doom Wiki at DoomWiki.org.
Contents
Help with the games themselves
- If you can't get Doom running, see How to play Doom on modern Windows systems, How to download and run Doom, or Doom on legacy systems.
- The articles on monsters and weapons include general gameplay tips.
- For hints and walkthroughs, start with Levels and navigate to the desired map.
- If you're making your own levels, Editing has instructions on using popular features.
Browsing the wiki
- Entryway includes a basic topic index.
- Special:Categories and Special:CategoryTree are much larger, disorganized topic indexes.
- All use of the site is governed by the Terms of Use, privacy policy and general disclaimer.

- New contributors should read our FAQ, which is mostly about wiki editing.
- For basic editing instructions:
- Start with the extensive documentation at MediaWiki.org.
- Also check out the WikiMedia MetaWiki primer.
- Some markup and interface features are particularly challenging, such as:
- A few secondary reference works are listed in Doom Wiki:Source material.
- Contributors should review our copyright policy, especially before uploading images.
