This article seems to be trying ton condense the old [[starting build]], [[starting build design]] and [[challenge]] articles - and is losing a lot of info in the process for no gain. And tossing info out the window is not a good plan. Reworking the old Starting Build into "core" and "extra" info might be worthwhile, but I see this as a "Starting Build Lite" article. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 20:28, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

(Prev Content deleted by Admin, who was personally guilty of being braindead and blathering.)

Perhaps you're missing the point? To put it simply, the point is to bring back the "Archive wiki" (that is, the wiki which covers the 2D version 0.23.130.23a) within this namespace rather than the ridiculously slow (and search-incapable) archive.org copy. If we had a database snapshot of archive.dwarffortresswiki.net, the entire import would probably be done by now, but we don't, so I'm doing it one page at a time. The page contents are supposed to be several years old. Also, it's "40d", not "d40". --Quietust 05:14, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
(Um, 40d - yeah, I knew that - I was testing you...) Right. Tracking now. I... somehow, I had the impression... well, nm, I was confoozled. Right, carry on.--Albedo 18:58, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
