Welcome to this wiki! Dwarf Fortress rapidly becomes more complicated, and we're always glad to have new writers.
Since we request that you try to follow our wiki's standards, we've made a list of basic guidelines to follow. Note that this is a template, so some may not apply to you.

  • To let us know who you are, please sign your posts on discussion pages by typing "--~~~~" after your posts. This can also be inserted with the Button sig756222.png button if JavaScript is enabled.
  • Avoid making a dozen small edits to a page, instead making one large edit. This makes the history of the page a lot easier to read and avoids cluttering the Recent changes page.
  • When making comments on a talk page, if you are replying to a comment, use one more indent than the comment you are replying to. Since indents are created with :'s at the beginning of line, you'd use ::::: at the beginning if you were replying to a 4-indent comment. Put an empty line between comments by others and you but not in the middle of your own comment.
  • Most importantly, read and follow the rules.
