Explanation of recent changes[edit]

I have renovated this page in order to compartmentalize information and add more links. This is obviously a major change from its previous state but I have kept almost all of the wording from the previous version, pulling in bits of information to flesh out the sections for tasks other than smoothing as well as creating some redirect pages. I would like to similarly renovate most of the closely related articles for Engraver's tasks. If anyone has any thoughts, tips or concerns please feel free to voice them. See DF2012_Talk:Stone detailing for my motivation in doing this. And if I have overstepped my bounds or this article is malformed/hideously out of style feel free to revert it!

Just a little change – I replaced {{for/see}} with {{main}} (which is a little easier to use and less redundant), since most of them appeared to be more in-depth articles. I like the new organization though (and this is probably a good place to put it, since it's not exactly an industry). --Lethosor (talk) 20:29, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Good edits. {{main}} is definitely easier to use, I'll have to do some research on templates. The only question I have is why you changed DF2012:Minecart#Tracks to Minecart. I agree that having the pound symbol in the link was ugly, but I think it's appropriate given the context. Is there any way to name the link 'Tracks' and have it point to 'Minecart#Tracks' with the wiki's markup?
Also, I'm not sure what you mean about this being a good place for the organization being that it isn't an industry (agreed on it not being an industry). Do you mean that organization such as this should be used on an industries own page with it's sub-skills and labors not being as detailed, while it is alright for this page because it is not part of an industry? Rawng (talk) 22:35, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Good catch, I fixed that. Anyway, all I meant by industries was that several industries (e.g. Metal industry, Gem industry) contain most central information to their topic. However, this topic doesn't have a similar page (since engraving isn't much of an industry), so this page is a good substitute. Sorry about the confusion there. --Lethosor (talk) 23:39, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
Not a problem, many thanks. Rawng (talk) 00:19, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
