New User[edit]

Hello there. I'm one of the admins of UFOPaedia.org, the wiki for the XCom series. I've started playing Phoenix Point about a week ago, after finally getting it on Steam, and I've been playing non-stop for several days now, and discovering this wiki was the cherry in top of the cake.

I'm positively impressed with the work placed here and I've wanted to contribute already but all the articles seem locked so I can't make edits.

Since this is an official wiki, it makes sense to keep control but I'm wondering if you are considering in the future to allow for players to make edits. Based on my years long experience with UFOPaedia.org, this is a very useful tool for players and there's a lot that they can share with others.

Thank you for your attention. Hobbes (talk) 12:20, 8 December 2020 (EST)

Hi Hobbes and welcome!
We are very happy that you like the Wiki. Honestly, I checked your wiki before I started working on this one and used it as inspiration (https://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php/XCOM_2) :). Awesome work.
I would be only happy if the community started maintaining this Wiki. That said I gave you rights feel free to edit whatever you want. you are most likely more experienced with Wikis than all of us together. And when I say us it is mostly me (Admin here on Wiki - Valygar on Discord and Snapshot Forum) and Voland (community star). You can contact us on PP Discord: https://discord.com/invite/phoenixpoint (Valygar and Voland)
Thanks! One clarification, UFOPaedia.org is not my wiki, it started as a community effort 15 years, I was involved from the start and was especially active with the XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM2 sections. Nowadays I'm the active administrator but, as I said, the wiki is not mine :)
About this wiki, there are a number of things that it could be improved, so I'm make a few suggestions. What I'm curious though is how is Snapshot Games managing the wiki since they're hosting it and they're the owners.

Hobbes lets discuss on Discord in PM

Can you/we create a page for phoenix point mods?[edit]

I noticed you guys do not have any information regarding mods, can you please add it, thank you.


Hello, Yes you can create page for mods.


6/10/2022 I want to create an account but I do not have permission. I am assuming I will need an account to make a mod page right?


Hello, I would be only happy if you created such page. I would find some space for it on the main page. Probably under the DLCs? Loading tips could be removed removed for example to make space for it.

About the permission there are 2 solutions:

1) Contact me on Phoenix Point Discord. https://discord.com/invite/phoenixpoint My name is Valygar. When we are both ready I can enable account creation you will create an account I will give you rights and then I will disable the account creation. The account creation sadly needs to be disabled because once it is enabled there are immediately tons of spambots creating accounts and new spam pages.

2) More Simple solution. I created this page Mods. It is editable by everyone so you can start working on it without registration and everyone will be able to edit it easily.
