:To answer your question, by clicking on the "What links here" to the left of this page, I can see that this page is linked from
 
    * [[Frequently Asked Questions]]
 
    * [[Starting builds]]
 
    * [[Your first fortress]]
 
    * [[Location]]
 
    * [[Template:Starting FAQ]]
 
    * [[What should I build first]]
 
    * [[Where in my area should I build my fort]]
 
:I think the FAQs are a good idea, but they should simply give some very simple information and link to other existing pages for complete info. What FAQs currently made don't do, or don't do well. Thus, even if I agree that they are pretty much useless in their current form, I still think they are very newbie friendly and should be kept alive. --[[User:Eagle of Fire|Eagle of Fire]] 21:06, 3 December 2007 (EST)
 
 
I respectfully disagree.  The "Your First Fortress" page covers a lot of valuable, necessary information for beginners, including specific keystrokes needed to do certain tasks.  It also has plenty of links.  A bunch of FAQ pages are harder to keep up-to-date and accurate.  [[User:Bouchart|Bouchart]] 21:17, 3 December 2007 (EST)
 
 
this page is wrong. if you have a woodcutter with no axe and another dwarf with one but no woodcutting enabled, nothing will happen... [[User:Twiggie|Twiggie]]
 
 
:It doesn't say anything about woodcutting... --[[User:LegacyCWAL|LegacyCWAL]] 15:32, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
 
 
== Valid path ==
 
 
Perhaps in previous versions a cardinal direction was required, but at least in 40d and 40d16 I build doors all time time with only diagonal access (for example, at an intersection of 4 walls from each of the cardinal directions).  So... at a minimum, the bit about doors needing a non-diagonal path is totally wrong.  Not sure of enough to change it though.  [[User:Tofof|Tofof]] 06:09, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
