[[File:David T. Wenzel - Unexpected Party.jpg|right|175px]]Tolkien Gateway is an encyclopedia about [[J.R.R. Tolkien|Tolkien]] that [[Help:Editing|anyone can edit]]. Since our launch on [[3 June]] [[2005]], we have grown to include [[Special:Statistics|{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}]] articles and [[Special:Newimages|{{NUMBEROFFILES}}]] images on a range of Tolkien-related topics. | |||
This Community Portal is designed to help editors find something to work on. It covers a range of ways you can share your Tolkien knowledge with the world including [[Special:WantedPages|creating wanted pages]], expanding [[:Category:Stubs|stub articles]], [[:Category:Cleanup|cleaning up poorly-written pages]] and added references to [[:Category:Articles needing citation|articles in need of citations]]. Some of the work might be a little tedious, but a little goes a long way in continuing to build the world's largest Tolkien encyclopedia. | |||
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. You can ask a specific [[Tolkien Gateway:Administrators|staff member]] on their talk page - they're happy to help you out. | |||

Welcome to Tolkien Gateway's Community Portal
a one-stop shop for editors old and new
Tolkien Gateway is an encyclopedia about Tolkien that anyone can edit. Since our launch on 3 June 2005, we have grown to include 12,543 articles and 14,295 images on a range of Tolkien-related topics.
This Community Portal is designed to help editors find something to work on. It covers a range of ways you can share your Tolkien knowledge with the world including creating wanted pages, expanding stub articles, cleaning up poorly-written pages and added references to articles in need of citations. Some of the work might be a little tedious, but a little goes a long way in continuing to build the world's largest Tolkien encyclopedia. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. You can ask a specific staff member on their talk page - they're happy to help you out. |

Uploading images When uploading an image be sure to use the appropriate copyright template by selecting it from the "Licensing" drop-down box. All you need do is provide a summary of the image and the category. Remember: do not upload images to Tolkien Gateway without prior permission of the copyright-holder unless you believe it falls under fair-use. Files without licensing templates The following articles lack a licensing template and so should be investigated for copyright violation:
