Welcome to the AvatarWiki.

The first key to getting around this site quickly is to learn how to use the search box, which is located to your left below the navigation frame. Let's say you came here for a very specific purpose: you want to know how to get the Fatewalkers. All you have to do is type in "fatewalkers" in the search box, hit go, and it should come right up. The search box is also handy for more complex tasks. Let's say you really need an item that will give you water breathing. Once again, type "water breathing" into the search box, hit go, and all the articles containing that term should pop up.

Unfortunately, the search box (by default) will not show categories that match your query, and we use categories very extensively here at the AvatarWiki. For now if you want to have categories show up in your search results, you have to edit your preferences. Melanarchy & Waite will be investigating to see if there's a way to turn on category searching for all users by default.

If you come across a page that isn't as helpful as you had hoped, please take a moment and edit the page, appending [[Category:Incomplete]] onto the end of the article.

Of course, if you find a section of the Wiki that is really useful to you, you can always bookmark it. Finally, if you're bored, take a look at the information we've begun to gather under the Miscellaneous section. You might see something there that interests you that you wouldn't have even thought to search for. Anyways, that's about it. I hope you enjoy using this site.
