| |
| − | :That's because the release date comes from a different template, which nobody updated. Given that this version is '''not''' save-compatible with 0.31.xx, it's very likely that a new namespace will be created to cover it, so it might be good to wait on updating existing pages. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 14:11, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

| |
| − | ::*Is the DF2010 namespace going to be changed to df31 or similar, based on the version number instead of our placeholder title?
| |
| − | ::*Will the new namespace be DF2012, df34, or something else?

| |
| − | | |
| − | I'd like to suggest that a new page with editing tips be created and linked to the main page. I think expanding on [[User_talk:Nyotor_Lizardhammers|this]] would be great. I especially would be interested in more information on how to do redirects, since I've done some incorrectly in the past (thanks for fixing them, Quietust!). I think it would be an excellent resource for those who haven't edited any other wikis before (like me) and for people who aren't familiar with the particular quirks of this wiki. Hopefully, this would reduce the number of red links we have the next time the namespace changes. --[[User:Cali|Cali]] 09:49, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

| − | :I very much agree. I signed up recently to help out, and, as a new wiki person, I couldn't find a consolidated source of information about editing standards. The "Centralized discussion" page needs the aforementioned links.

| − | == Gameplay Elements: Buildings vs. Workshops ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Is there some reason why there are two separate pages for the same thing? And why does the Workshop page have this "Tier" categorization implemented? It doesn't seem to be necessary. I think the two should should be merged, and only contain a brief overview of what each workshop does, with a link to the workshop page.[[User:Darchitect|Darchitect]] 15:11, 27 February 2012 (UTC)Darchitect
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Yes. Workshops are buildings, but not all buildings are workshops.
| |
| − | :The tier system is an attempt at systematizing the workshops relative to their input and output. As it is unnecessary, confusing, and not directly representative of the game, it should be removed. No article should list workshops anyway, as we have <nowiki>{{workshops}}</nowiki> for that.
| |
| − | :I suggest that we make [[DF2012:Workshop]] a short general article that refers the user on to the specific workshop articles. --[[User:Nahno|Nahno]] 23:02, 28 February 2012 (UTC)-
| |
| − | | |
| − | :::Excellent suggestion. I second the motion. I'm going to edit the Buildings article a bit, as well, as it doesn't communicate its concept very well. --[[User:Darchitect|Darchitect]] 20:36, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

| − | ::Can't blame the site. It's hard to secure a website for your users when in order to stay up and running you have to allow an unindemnable third party to load arbitrary third party content including scripts. There needs to be laws and regulations making advertisers responsible for policing malicious code in their ads. Until then, adblock is as necessary as a firewall and antivirus.

| |
| − | | |
| − | :No, there definitely appears to be a problem with images. I first noticed missing thumbnails after I edited [[badger]] at 19:22. The error seems to be tied to ImageMagick being unable to open files on disk. Remote images (linked from wikicommons) appear to work more reliably. Unless the software was recently modified, my guess would be a hardware error on the server. --[[User:Loci|Loci]] 20:21, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

| |
| − |
| |
| − | So, my problem with the Glass Industry flowchart (and, overall, the Glass Industry page) is that it is somewhat misleading regarding the production of vials. Vials require sand, not "pure" glass, in order to be produced. I noticed that my dwarves complained a lot about not being able to produce vials although having tonnes of green glass. For all that it's worth, there isn't a page describing how a vial is made. Typing vial in the searchbox redirects me to the Flask page, where it erroneously (at least from this point of view) states that it is produced from glass.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I'm not sure whether there are more items produced directly from sand, rather than producing the glass first.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | I thank you for the attention given to this problem. <small>– [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:217.129.96.108|217.129.96.108]]</small>
