From Diablo Wiki
Created Article
A '''fan class''' is a Diablo-inspired class created in the minds of one or more fans of the franchise. These are '''not''' official classes, or even official [[Archivist|joke classes]] from [[Blizzard]].
The fan classes are made to give Blizzard good ideas about their game development, for theorycrafting of what Blizzard ''might'' create next, or just right out unrealistic and funny.
For a full list of fan classes, see the [[:Category:Fan classes|fan classes category]].
==Background==
In several community forums for Diablo III, fans have made class suggestions, and it would be such a shame to let all that creativity go to waste into a forum archive. An initiative was taken on Diii.net by contributor [[Leord]] and the notable wallpaper artist [[Holyknight3000]] in early June 2009 to start collecting fan-made classes.
==Questions and Answers==
* '''Who can make a new class in DiabloWiki?'''<br>Anyone with a little bit of imagination can make a class in the Diablo wiki. A minimum level of seriousness, or effort is required, and any entry is welcome.
* '''Can I improve others' classes?'''<br>Normally in a wiki, you can edit anything anywhere, but since these classes are works by individuals, you should ask them for permission to edit. Fixing typos or grammatical errors is of course always welcome.
* '''Do I have to make a class on my own, or can I collaborate with friends?'''<br>Of course you can collaborate with friends! Others then have to ask the collaboration group if they wish to help out.
* '''How can you guarantee no one will edit my class'''<br>It's a wiki, and we're all in it, there's no "you" to talk to to prevent it. The answer is that "we" can't prevent edits, only encourage people to ask the authors first. If you see edits classed as "vandalism" on your class, fix the issue and report the offending user to [[Leord]] or [[Holyknight3000]].
* '''How do I create a class then?'''<br>Easy, just type in the name you want to call it in your browser, like this:<br>http://www.diablowiki.net/Fan_class:Banana_Hammock<br>Then just click "Edit", write what you want, and save. We recommend you to just copy+paste the code from the [[Boilerplate:Fan_class]], and replace the text to fit your class.
* '''How can I find a cool image as a portrait to my class?'''<br>Make one, or humbly ask one of the artists in the [http://forums.diii.net/forumdisplay.php?f=138 Fan Creation Forum] over at Diii.net for help.
* '''Are tehre any help pages for editing wikiw I can use?'''<br>DiabloWiki has a quite good [[Help]] section you can use. Primarily the [[Help:Markup|markup]] section should help.
