For all discussion activity, see recent changes to talk pages.
The Valve Developer Community is hosted and administered by Valve, but the wiki itself is almost entirely community-driven. Every page you see with an Edit tab, including this one, is likely written by someone in the community (though Valve staff are sometimes among them). If you want to do the same, go right ahead!
There are a number of other ways you can help out:
- Go to the Tasks page and see what needs work!
- Participate in ongoing discussions (see Ongoing discussions)
- Want to translate articles into another language? See Alternative Languages for more information!
| Help Desk | For asking questions about the wiki in general. |
| Administrators' noticeboard | For items that need the attention of admins. |
| Translators' noticeboard | For items that need the attention of translators. Also used for sidebar translations. |
| Reasons for speedy deletion | For discussing reasons to delete a certain article. |
| Discussion | General discussion about the wiki. |
| Proposals | For proposing changes to the wiki. |
| Main Page Talk | For discussing the wiki's main page. |
The Valve Developer Community has a vast number of resources available for modders, by modders:
- Third Party Tools
- Tutorials
- Open-Source Mods and Tools and Free source code
- Publicity & Publication information
The Valve Developer Community links to many additional websites which can assist modding:
The Valve Developer Community once served as a hub for promoting Source mods and users willing to/looking for help, although that side of the community has migrated to other platforms over the years.
If you are creating a custom mod or map pack, and the game involved doesn't have a Steam Workshop, you may be interested in publishing it on 
ModDB or 
GameBanana. Depending on the circumstances, you might even be able to publish your mod on Steam as its own application. Mods which are notable or have their own modding ecosystems continue to be documented on this wiki. You can see all of the mods documented on the VDC, past or present, in Category:Mods.
