Greetings, and thanks for the contributions. I thought I would mention that there is something unusual about this wiki due to the way it uses namespaces. Because of this you normally want to use the L template like <nowiki>{{L|Pagename}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>[[Pagename]]</nowiki>. This is because the same page name is used in different namespaces to represent documentation on the same subject for different versions of the game. See [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Versions]] for detailed info, but the short answer is basically to use the L template when you don't need to refer to a specific namespace. That way <nowiki>{{L|Pagename}}</nowiki> will automatically get converted to <nowiki>[[DF2010:Pagename]]</nowiki>. Using <nowiki>[[Pagename]]</nowiki> will actually work in the short term, but may break in the future and is less efficient because it ends up using a redirect from the main namespace. --[[User:Ral|Ral]] 03:01, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

:Thanks, Ral.  I understand to an extent, but didn't find much documentation on the L template.  I'll do my best and trust that folks will help me along.  Links have been revised at [[DF2010:Quickstart_guide/Stockpiles]]. [[User:Vitriolum|Vitriolum]] 13:57, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

:::I've mentioned the lack of namespace-related docs to an admin. hopefully someone will create some docs. Anyway, only reason I know it's important is because it's listed under [[Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki:Quality#Masterwork]]... --[[User:Ral|Ral]] 16:32, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
