Should we include the Barbarian, Bard, and Monk in D1? I'm thinking we should... We should also include HellFire lore, imo. Sure it's not canon or whatever, but it's still an official expansion pack. We should support it.
... And... I'd like to have the Archivist somewhere on the D3 page also. Should we add him in the classes? Or nah?

Yes, but I neither have images nor pages for them atm. I guess I can out up the names.
Likewise we have close to no lore on Hellfire either, although that is, when created, going to belong to the D1 section, not the Lore section.

Not as a class, since it isn't a class. Don't know where else to put it though.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.
Supporting big shoulderpads and flashy armor since 2004.
That's not a problem. Though how come the D1 section instead of the Lore section? It's HellFire lore.
The distinction is important because anyone going to look for lore in the wiki will want to know of the version which is presented in all games and books but Hellfire. The fact that the word lore can be used to describe both is of little importance. While a book claiming that Julius Caesar was a Maya Indian might well in itself have some historical significance, the actual content of the book would not. Likewise, Hellfire lore should be in the wiki, but not be equated to official lore, and the two are not to be confused.
When it comes down to it, Hellfire is no more canon than fan fiction. In fact, in some cases I'd probably call the latter more in tune with what is official.

Hellfire should be in the wiki. I agree that it should be kept seperate from the Diablo lore. I think either calling it D1 mod or having its own section like the other Diablo games.

On Strike and supporting Fallout 4 Mod Makers
Some fallout 4 mod makers have had their mods stolen and uploaded and downloaded on Bethesda's site for the Xbox One.

But you've included the books into the Lore page? :P.
That's the only reason it was so popular, it was the only authorized expansion pack. Back in the day, Vivendi Universal Interactive used to own Blizzard and Sierra. Sierra created Hellfire and Blizzard authorized it. It was the first and last time Blizzard worked with Sierra on a game, and allowed any other company to create an authorized expansion to the game because of how bad it was, :P.
Well, not that it was bad, but it contained bugs and was missing a lot of features that were supposed to be implemented, but did not make the release date.
Anyway, if you still don't believe me, check out the CD case. Top-left corner says, "The only authorized DIABLO Expansion Pack". That was the clearest pic I could find on google. I'll upload a pic of my CD if you need more proof, :P.
Thanks for the clear up. I knew that Vivendi owned both. I thought Vivendi authorized Sierra to make the game and Blizzard did not give the permission for it.

So it was an expansion because it was authorized by Blizzard? Makes sense, somehow.
Not entirely true. It was an official expansion because it was authorized by Blizzard, :P. There's another somewhat popular expansion called Unearthed Arsenal, which came later and was not authorized.

Truth. Maybe characters or something?

Well, the books are canon. At least Blizzard thinks they are.
Oh, and a small question about Hellfire. Why is it called an expansion and not a mod since it isn't canonical?

On the contrary, Hellfire was the only authorized expansion for D1.

That's correct... However, see below:

I don't get what you're asking, :|.
I can make a D1 expansion if I want. It won't be authorized. But I can call it an expo.

And what would differentiate it from a mod? That's the thing that's bugging me :\

Mods are technically modifications. Expansions add on to the game. The two are very closely related when used today, I suppose.
