== Can't move [[:File:Fäden.png]] ==

It's used on [[cv:thread]], but I can't seem to move it to a better title. I think it's because of the <s>accent</s> umlaut - is there any way you can change its name manually in the database?

== Creature token page seems to be causing your server trouble ==

http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Creature_token comes up with a completely blank (like, about:blank blank) for me and pretty much everyone else I've asked about it. I can get the contents by pulling them from google's cache, but the site itself seems to refuse to let you load it. From experience as a webhost, this generally means that the page has encountered a critical error in its scripting, which it will dump in the error log instead of reporting to the user, for security reasons. I would suggest scouring your error logs. Don't know why this particular page is causing issues. [[Special:Contributions/74.67.17.69|74.67.17.69]] 07:23, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Probably a rendering time issue - the other versions load fine, but v0.31 takes the longest (I'm pretty sure the v0.34 page is the largest). Using action=raw also works. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 10:43, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Okay, disabling AutoRedirect fixed this, so I'm currently disabling pieces of it to see what's causing the problem. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 19:41, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

It appears that the TitleIsAlwaysKnown is the problem, presumably because it takes a lot of time to render on a large page like [[creature token]]. Unfortunately, this is the hook that makes links and searching work. I'll try making the extension skip section links, since they account for most of the links in that article and don't need to be handled at all. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 19:48, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

All right, that seems to have worked. The render time is back down to 1.2 seconds, which is pretty good for such a long page. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 20:11, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

When I went to the page to start the confirmation process, I was told the email had already been sent. After waiting quite a while without anything, I decided to ask for another email, and that's when I encountered this error:

== Adventure mode redirect ==

For some reason [[adventure mode]] redirects to the 0.34.11 adventurer mode page, so I went to see if I could change this. Apparently, it contains a redirect to [[adventurer mode]], which redirects to the DF2014 page. I'm not quite sure what's going on here, so I thought I should bring this up. It's perhaps related to why the [[adventure mode]] links in [[DF2014:Adventure mode quick start]] are red, which is why I was looking into it in the first place. —[[User:Lue|Lue]] ([[User talk:Lue|talk]]) 23:07, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

== Cloning the wiki ==

Hi Briess! lethosor directed me here from IRC.

Making the wiki available offline has been discussed before by many different people. [http://sebsauvage.net/wiki/doku.php?id=df_portable_wiki Some even manage] something almost useful. You've helped the situation by making the XML dumps available, however so much information in the wiki is locked behind templates that depend on custom PHP extensions to expand properly. I want to pick up this torch and produce something usable and useful for everyone.

My plan is simple.

# Massage the DF2014 namespace into a set of static HTML documents
# Bundle these documents in [http://kapeli.com/docsets the docset format]
# Release the docset in [http://kapeli.com/dash Dash] on OSX and [zealdocs.org Zeal] on Windows and Linux.

Dash/Zeal provide fast instant search and they're designed for searching through sets of documents already.

Step 1 is where all the work takes place of course. I want to do it in a way that is as light on the existing infrastructure as possible. Using the [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/api.php wiki's API] and the [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Expandtemplates action:expandtemplates] feature, I can expand the XML dump into rendered HTML. But this is essentially scraping the wiki, which isn't good.

Instead, I would like to setup my own instance of the wiki and run all the processing locally.

'''So my question for you is''', can you kindly give the assets needed to setup a clone of the wiki? AFAIK, all I need to make a facsimile of the wiki is:

# the custom CSS theme
# a list of extensions you have installed (and their source if necessary)
# anything else I don't know about that affects the content generation

I noticed that some of the custom extensions are available [https://github.com/DF-Wiki on github], but is that all of them?

Cheers, [[User:Rmblr|Rmblr]] ([[User talk:Rmblr|talk]])

edit: - I forgot to mention images. I plan to support an image-less version of the docset at first that will load the images opportunistically if the internet is available. Eventually, if you don't mind, I'll fetch images in bulk from the wiki (respecting the cache and expiry headers of course).

Briess - I was thinking of putting some of the settings we use on Github, like WMF's [http://noc.wikimedia.org/conf/highlight.php?file=InitialiseSettings.php InitialiseSettings.php]. Thoughts? &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 20:40, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

-:What link do you want? There are a lot of related links on the [[Main Page]], and I'm fine with adding one, but I don't know where you want the link to go. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 00:03, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
-Just something like https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Slaves%20to%20Armok%20II%3A%20Dwarf%20Fortress that would link to the game's section on Twitch. Figure it might help some discover live DF content.

-== Possibility to Translate the wiki? ==
-Hi Briess,
-First of all, I'd like to congratulate you for this amazing work. this wiki is a reference for everyone!
-I'm contacting you because I'd like to know if you would authorise me to translate this wiki? I'm a translator myself and I would love to work on it, of course, for free. I'm aware it is filled with lots of content over the years so it would be a long-term project.
-My native language is Portuguese, but I could also translate to French and Spanish.
-Looking forward to hearing from you.
-Best regards,
-Elio NETO
-== Editing practice ==
-Hi, apologies if this is the wrong place to raise this, but I just reverted the four edits ([https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Special:Contributions/Billy]) of [[User:Billy]] after getting an email that a page I (had forgotten I) was following had been edited. Some more forceful discouragement may be called for. [[User:Hv|Hv]] ([[User talk:Hv|talk]]) 16:05, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
-:Thanks! Will deal with this. [[User:Briess|Briess]] ([[User talk:Briess|talk]]) 13:41, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
-== Want to translate the wiki Into Chinese ==
-Hi Briess,
-Thank for the amazing wiki!It is helpful for everyone!
-I want to translate this wiki into Chinese. My native language is Chinese. I hope that more Chinese players will know and like this game. In this official wiki, I have not found an entry that can be translated into other languages. I want to move it to other wikis. We are serving and doing related translation work, hoping to get your approval and consent.
-Finally, thank you for your contribution to the wiki.
-Best regards,
-FengMaster
-== Translate  ==
-Is there the possibility of adding alternative pages for other languages?
-That way we can translate into other languages without creating new sites
-== Replace Chinese Wiki with the new one on Fandom ==
-Hello, Briess! The current Chinese wiki on wikidot (listed on main page) seems to be inactive for a long time, with its main page refers to the download link of v0.44.10, and most pages are never updated even earlier than that version. Recently we are working on a new site on Fandom ([https://dwarf-fortress.fandom.com/zh]), trying to keep everything up to date. Wish to replace the links on dwarffortresswiki's main page and the sidebar link (ILL) with the one at Fandom, so that more people may get to the right place and join us.

-:I've added the link of Fandom wiki site into main page myself. Wish to add ILL for Chinese wiki site (Fandom) one day. [[User:Xjtu-blacksmith|xjtu-blacksmith 黑山雁]] ([[User talk:Xjtu-blacksmith|talk]]) 06:02, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
-:We've migrated our site to '''huijiwiki''' recently, which is a China-based Wiki farm. I've changed the link on main page. [[User:Xjtu-blacksmith|xjtu-blacksmith 黑山雁]] ([[User talk:Xjtu-blacksmith|talk]]) 02:43, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
