Editing User talk:Doomchild

Welcome to this wiki! Dwarf Fortress rapidly becomes more complicated, and we're always glad to have new writers.<br>
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 <code><nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki></code> after your posts. This can also be inserted with the [[Image:Button sig756222.png]] 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, [[Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki:Community_Portal#We_are_doing_this.21_Let_us_do_it_right.|read and follow the rules.]] They're like a little constitution, except not boring! Really, read them.

Hi. Don't rush to make a new, separate article for each and every new term that may be introduced with the new version, especially if that may end up being just a stub. Think about grouping terms together under umbrella headings.  It's hard to know "how much" info is going to be put into any of these, so I'm not reverting any such, just saying don't expect it to be a "1 term = 1 page" policy. See [[armor piece]] or [[trade good]] for examples of pages that brought previous related stub pages together under a common umbrella article.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 21:19, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

-Also, try to use "Preview" more often, and think about the finished product before Saving. [[unfortunate accident]] has a dozen of your edits in just over 2 hours - a bit excessive. Rewriting a page is fine if it is unclear - rewriting each subsection separately, just to put something in your own words, could be seen as unnecessary.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 21:19, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
-: Yeah, sorry.  I'm so used to the "save early, save often" rule for source code that I have a hard time remembering not to spam the history.  I'll start clumping my edits together. --[[User:Doomchild|Doomchild]] 21:40, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
-::I completely understand - did the exact same thing when I started. You'll get used to it. Nice prose, btw!--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 22:04, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
