Editing Dwarf Fortress Wiki talk:Announcements

==Autohide==
After about another day or two, I'm going to re-enable autohide for all users for this announcements box, if there are no objections. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 03:03, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
:Well, I'd still suggest the current method. However, if we do re-enable autohide, do it through adding importScript('User:blahblahblahblah'); in common.js rather than adding "collapsed". That way we can still use the update div to force show the box. [[user:Emi|<span style="color:#8a4e4e">Emi</span>]] [[user_talk:Emi|<span style="color:#6a3e4e">[T]</span>]] 05:21, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
::Indeed, that was the plan.  I pared down the announcements size a bit, maybe that's a bit better. We'll see.--[[User:Briess|Briess]] 07:17, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:::I'm setting it so autohide is enabled for all users now. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 17:10, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

==Links==
"Please create links with <nowiki>{{L|Page name}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[Page name]]</nowiki> if the link is for the same version as the article. '''Please do not update existing 40d links (blue or red) with this method.'''" - What exactly, then, is the point of using the template at all? Why use it only for new pages but not for existing pages? --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 13:59, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:Actually, it was because it was much easier to program EmiBot to follow links of the [[]] format. So it was about the redlink tagging. Now that they've all been tagged, the message no longer matters -- and once I get my main machine up and running, EmiBot will be changing all the links back.

::It looks like I will have beaten you to it - my bot is currently running through the 40d namespace and fixing all of the links to use {{tl|L}}. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 16:34, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
I added a template ([[:Template:Category]]) a few days ago for category tags along the same lines as the <nowiki>{{L}}</nowiki> template. I think that it would really help with some of the category organization issues that I have seen complaints about. I wasn't really sure where to post about it, so would you mind taking a look to see if it is something you feel is worthwhile to add to the announcements section? I would appreceiate the feedback. --[[User:Soy|Soy]]<sup><small>([[User_talk:Soy|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Soy|C]])</small></sup> 22:28, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

== Copy/pasting from 40d ==

I think we need to readd the "Please do NOT copy/paste old articles into new namespace unless you screen them for accuracy." notice, since people are still doing it (in some cases, apparently quite [http://df.magmawiki.com/index.php?title=DF2010:Cassiterite&curid=10487&diff=92412&oldid=88388 deliberately]). --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 20:48, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
:Agreed, and Emi already took care of it. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 21:00, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

-== Page requests ==
-It looks like [[User:Loci|Loci]] created [[DF:PR|this page]] as an alternative to posting requests on an admin's talk page. Could we add this to the announcements so new/anonymous users know where to look? --{{User:Lethosor/sig}} 01:08, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
