The Admin Noticeboard is one way through which Users can notify Community Administrators of issues needing administrative attention.

While Users are welcome to directly contact specific Administrators (especially if they are seen to be active), posting here can be an easier and quicker way of ensuring that at least one Administrator will notice an issue and respond to it promptly.

Important: Remember to sign by adding four tildes: ~~~~ to the end of your post, when posting an issue.

Reporting Wiki Issues

Prior to posting an issue here, please consider the following:

  • This Page is for reporting Wiki issues only.
    • If you want to report an issue with the Game Template:IconLink itself, please refer to the Dead by Daylight Forum.
  • Do not post deletion requests here.
    • Deletion requests should be made by adding {{delete|reason for deletion request}} to the top of the target page, which will then automatically mark the page as a candidate for deletion.
  • Do not post issues regarding content disputes.
  • Mediation requests between users should only be made once a resolution could not be reached between users.
  • For issues regarding the use of this wiki, please see our help center.

Reporting Vandalism

In case of vandalism, posting about it here is low priority.
Revert it first, anyone can do so. If the vandal created a new page, tag it for deletion.
Assume good faith and consider leaving a message on that user's talk page to explain the reason.

Post here only if the user has made several disruptive edits and/or persists despite a warning.
Always avoid a revert war with the vandal; it is far better to wait until an admin has a chance to intervene.
If a user must be reported here, please use {{user}}, preferably as the topic subject/headline.

Reported Typos and Missing Information

In case of typos, values in the wrong order, or missing/additional words, you may try to fix it yourself first.

The Wiki uses Templates to transclude descriptions of Add-ons, Perks, Items, Offerings, etc. across all article pages that feature it.
They are not stored on the page itself, but rather in a central Template, which is the one that needs to be edited to reflect the change across the Wiki.

The most common Templates are the following:

  • Template:Add-on desc: Add-on descriptions up to and including CHAPTER XIV: Cursed Legacy
  • Template:Add-on desc 2: Add-on descriptions after and including CHAPTER XV: Chains of Hate (including Hillbilly & Cannibal Add-on rework)
  • Template:Item desc: Item descriptions
  • Template:Offering desc: Offering descriptions
  • Template:Perk desc: Perk descriptions
  • Template:Pl: Perk values (the ones that change with the Perk's Tier)

These Templates are generally restricted to auto-confirmed users only and cannot be edited by anonymous user.

Please note that the Dead by Daylight Wiki uses British English spelling conventions (i.e. 'colour' instead of 'color', 'travelled' instead of 'traveled', etc).
These are not typos, should not be considered as such and should neither be reported nor "corrected".
