- Editors & Contributors - Please include diagrams or clear and well-sized images if appropriate. For diagrams, use standard Dwarf Fortress symbols for your diagrams - an x is an up/down stairwell, a ╬ is a fortification, a ▲ is an up-ramp/slope, etc. etc. For screenshots, use the standard tileset, not a custom one that few may recognize.
- If your design involves a complex trap, simply label it as such on the diagram, for example "magma trap", "drowning chamber", "hall of spikes" or "ground zero". If you wish to detail that trap, please add that (perhaps with a specific link) to the Trap Design page.
- Also, please don't personalize a submission by adding a name to it. If your suggestion is lengthy and complex, consider placing it on your User: page with simpler explanation and a link here.
- Lastly, if you can keep similar or alternate suggestions grouped within like subsections/topics/categories, that would be a good thing. Future wiki users and DF players thank you.
New Pages, new organization[edit]
There had been about 5-6 pages on "defense", and articles and advice on various topics were scattered and repeated across all of them. This is an effort to re-organize them into 4 tightly defined and user-friendly topics using current DF wiki naming conventions - a General guide and overview Defense guide, and 3 articles on specific design - layout and architecture (Defense design), traps (Trap design), and specific advice on organizing your military (Military design).
Discussion from any pages removed or renamed will be placed (or linked) under one of those four. However, see also Talk:Fortress defense, which was not moved.--Albedo 06:21, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
