About the Doom Wiki

Welcome to the ultimate Doom Wiki, a project to document everything related to id Software's classic games Doom and Doom II, as well as games based on the Doom engine. So far we have created 23,448 articles.

This is a wiki, so anyone can create or edit a page. New contributors should read our policies and guidelines first. If you need help, or want to discuss general aspects of this wiki, visit Central Processing.

The news board is a place where anyone can post Doom-related news.

Trivia

Did you know that WizardWorks released two commercial megawads made by Wraith Corporation, mostly comprised of TeamTNT members?

 * Remember this page is the most public face of the wiki - test edits are best done on a separate page.
 * Sections within "<! --" and "-- >" markers (without the spaces) - like this entire section - are hidden comments, and can be separated by several lines. Be sure not to break them.
-* We strongly recommend you do not change the <mainpage-leftcolumn-start /> style tags - these keep your page format safe from unexpected breaks - the left column is first, followed by the right column. See http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Main_page_column_tags for more info.
-Please note that Wikia protection policy advises against the protection of this page unless it is the active target of vandalism.
-* Protecting the main page can do more harm than good, for example by preventing links being added.
