User talk:89.243.171.36

Welcome to this wiki! Dwarf Fortress rapidly becomes more complicated, and we're always glad to have new writers.
Since you should try to follow wiki standards, and you probably don't know ours yet, we've made a list of basic guidelines. Note that this is a template, not a customized message for you.

• To tell us who you are when you talk, please sign your posts on discussion pages by typing ~~~~ after your posts. This can also be inserted with the button if JavaScript is enabled.
• Don't put a question mark in the title of a page. Question marks mess things up, and your page will be moved to a different name.
• When making comments on a talk page, use one more colon before each line in your comment than was used in the comment you reply to. In general, put exactly one empty line between comments by different users but do not use blank lines inside of a comment.
• Avoid making many small edits to a page. Instead, try to make one large edit. This makes the history of the page a lot easier to read.
• Don't edit the user page of another user. If you want to tell them something, add the comment to their talk page.
• If you put a comment at the bottom of a talk page with section headers, you've probably put it in a section. Putting things in the wrong sections is confusing. You can create a section!
• Generally, read and follow the rules. They're like a little constitution, except not boring! Really, read them.
• Read the site announcements regularly, they contain important info.
• Check up on the manual of style occasionally, it's still being written, but will contain important style info soon.
• Some pages have version-specific articles, (ie: 40d, 23a...) when creating a redirect from the mainspace to a version specific article, use cv: instead of the version namespace.

 Can we copy 40d article?

Hi, welcome to the wiki. And thanks for asking!
You can, if you screen all information copied for accuracy. The last thing we want is for incorrect legacy information to muddy the water and become "assumed accurate". This transition is the best opportunity to check every detail of the new version, every nook and corner - so this is when it should happen. So, yes - copy what is inarguably the same, check what you can, confirm every key-command, and either omit or hide <!-- using this code --> anything else for later editors to worry about. Add comments in Talk page (maybe w/ ^[Verify] for any detail(s) you're not sure about. Bottom line, use the community, get a consensus if you're not sure.
