Welcome to the Police Quest Omnipedia (and it's spinoff series SWAT): a database that anyone can edit.

We are currently working on 1,363 articles.

The idea of this Omnipedia is that everyone can contribute.
It doesn't matter if you're a long-time fan of Police Quest series (or a fan of its spinoff series: SWAT), or Sonny Bonds' other appearances in Hoyle series, or a first time visitor. We want you!

About the Omnipedia

This wiki began life as the Police Quest Omnipedia Wiki with a primary focus on the classic Sierra Adventure games. And to that goal we continue to show respect and our main focus on that series by honoring the series roots of blue knights, beat cops and detectives in our layout and themes. That being said we also encourage the inclusion of the spin-off SWAT series: especially as the first two games are technically the last of the main Police Quest series (PQ5 and PQ6 respectively). Though there may be differences between the two series and game styles (see Canon policies).

The point of the Omnipedia is to make new pages, and link to others. You can edit every page in this Omnipedia to add new information, by clicking the "Edit" link at the top.

It would be preferable if you created an account, so we know who you are ;)

You can edit a page using simple text, or a subset of HTML.

To see what other people have been changing, click the "Recent Changes" button to the left.

I'd suggest visiting the Space Quest Omnipedia, King's Quest Omnipedia, and [Quest for Glory Omnipedia, the sister projects of the PQ Omnipedia, to gather inspiration to lay out a page and suggestions on what sorts of pages might be added. Feel free to discuss ideas and ask questions on the General Discussion page as well.

Some suggestions, just to get people started (please add your own!)

Editing Pages

From an existing page, you can create a link to a new page (whether it exists or not), by putting [[double brackets]] around the linked text. That will create a link to a page titled "double brackets".

Obviously, you want to link to better pages than "Double brackets" ;)

Creating New Pages

To create a new page, edit an existing page, and create a link to it. Then, click on that link and click Edit. (Or cheat, and type it into the URL bar directly)

When you make links, make sure there's not another link there already. That way, we won't have to combine and do redirects.

Etc. Add your own, please! You can see the pages that people have linked to, that don't yet exist.

Also, PLEASE add a small summary (in the summary box, under edit) when editing a page. It makes it MUCH easier to see what you've changed ;)

Let us know if there is anything else you want help with.
