User talk:Wafl

Welcome to this wiki! Dwarf Fortress rapidly becomes more complicated, and we're always glad to have new writers.
Since we request that you try to follow DFwiki standards, we've made a list of basic guidelines to follow. Also, this is a template, so some may not apply to you.

• To let us know who you are, please sign your posts on discussion pages by typing "--~~~~" after your posts. This can also be inserted with the button if Javascript is enabled.
• Avoid making a dozen small edits to a page, instead making one large edit. This makes the history of the page a lot easier to read and avoids cluttering the Recent changes page.
• When making comments on a talk page, if you are replying to a comment, use one more indent than the comment you are replying to. As indents are created with :'s at the begining of line, you'd use ::::: at the begining if you were replying to a 4-indent comment. Put an empty line between comments by others and you but not in the middle of your own comment.
• Most importantly, read and follow the rules.

Saw your confusion about adding pre-determined coed to pages, and not wanting the code to be interpreted. (i.e. showing the 4 graves that you use to replace with your signature) I've got two points to help you here: 1) the <nowiki> tags are the easiest way to get something into a page that otherwise would change when viewed. The button of a crossed-out W is the shortcut for it in the Java editor. 2) if you've seen the thing you're trying to create elsewhere, feel free to go and check out the page in edit mode to see how something was done. A perfect place to see how the graves are shown on a page is the above template.

Hope the tips help! --Edward 16:15, 12 April 2008 (EDT)
