==First Time User? Read This!==
I still need to type this up, this among other things needs to be on the [[To do list]]

== About This Project ==
This wiki is a growing archive dedicated to documenting Independent Order of Odd Fellows lodges, encampments, cantons, assemblies, and related historical bodies.

The goal is to create a structured, searchable record of lodge locations, history, and organizational lineage.

----

== Current Status ==
* Core structure is being developed
* Pages are being added and standardized
* Images and historical references are being organized
* Editing permissions and role system are still under development

----

== Important Note ==
This is an early-stage build. Information should not be considered fully verified or complete.

Please expect:
* Missing entries
* Temporary formatting
* Ongoing structural changes

----

== Contributing ==
Editing access is currently restricted while the system is being finalized. Contributor roles will be introduced in future phases.

----

== Navigation ==
Once available, use the side menu or search function to explore lodges by:
* Location
* Lodge type
* Jurisdiction

----
