Wikipedia's coverage about the Forgotten Realms should focus on the real-world aspects of the game, as reported by independent sources. Please do not create separate articles about fictional places or other plot details; these will typically fail the inclusion criteria (WP:N, WP:NOT#PLOT) and are likely to be deleted. Note that other Wikis, such as the Forgotten Realms Wikia, do cover fictional concepts from Forgotten Realms

	Forgotten Realms was one of the Sports and recreation good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.

The following redirects are not mentioned in this article. This was generated by a the same script as Talk:List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition monsters#Incoming redirects, so may have some false positives, but still deserves looking at:

I've updated a handful redirects. It looks like most of these are locations so probably should go to Faerûn or Abeir-Toril. Many of the characters could probably be redirected to their publication source (such as various Drizzt characters going to those novels). I'm not super familiar with the FR lore minutiae so this isn't a project I'm going to take on. Sariel Xilo (talk) 00:48, 18 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
