Borderlands Wiki:Wiki News

Wiki News guidelines -- please read before editing

• Provide one to two short sentences to funnel readers into a full article on the wiki for details.
• Include at least one wiki link, and maybe two if you need. One is preferred.
• Try not to include external links (if you do, try to use only official Gearbox links or very reputable sites).

Everyone is welcome (and encouraged) to add news items -- even with no account

• Archive old items at Past Wiki News.
• If you are having any trouble, just do the best you can and someone else will probably fix it later.

Try to keep each item as wide as this green box -- use the Preview button (although a little over is OK!)
