  • Another discussion regarding general style and philosophy of the wiki, at Talk:Main_Page, "We spoil. Do we spoil too much? Do we detail pointlessly?" --Savok 02:21, 10 September 2009 (UTC)


  • Screenshots! Take interesting screenshots of parts of your fortress. Upload them to the wiki. Put them here and see them on the main page. VengefulDonut 12:19, 11 June 2009 (UTC)



  • A new standard for avoiding overly-long quotes on the main page has been suggested and posted - Quote discussion page.--Albedo 04:14, 29 May 2009 (UTC)



There had been about 5-6 pages on "defense", and suggestions and advice on various topics were scattered and repeated across all of them. The first stage of the effort to re-organize them into 4 tightly defined and user-friendly topics using current DF wiki naming conventions has resulted in 4 pages: a General guide and overview (rewrite of Defense guide article), and 3 new 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. Discussion re this re-organization is on the Talk:Fortress defense page.
