:Eh, why not? It is an interesting quirk, and it should probably be on the wiki somewhere. Why not here?--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 20:17, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | :Eh, why not?

::Because it isn't something that's actually part of the game, just something that players have decided to do. If we're going to have an article for this, then we would also have to have an article on making fortresses underwater, in the magma sea, and in Hell, and that's a bit of a slippery slope that can lead to quite a bit of clutter. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] ([[User talk:Quietust|talk]]) 21:27, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | ::Because it isn't something that's actually part of the game, just something that players have decided to do.

− | :::Like Quietust said, I'm concerned about the lack of clear guidelines on which megaprojects deserve their own page. This page clearly has some useful content in addition to being a megaproject, so it's fine with me, but some (like [[megaprojects#Santa Claus|Santa Claus]]) obviously shouldn't have their own page. | + | :::Like Quietust said, I'm concerned about the lack of clear guidelines on which megaprojects deserve their own page.

Organization is also a little unclear – I added {{tl|Category|Physics}}, but if there are other similar pages a separate category (and a navbox or sidebar like {{tl|projects}}) would be useful. |
:::Regarding underwater forts (and building forts in any location): that kind of information would be useful to some players, and there isn't exactly a comprehensive source of information on the wiki, but I agree that the place of an article like "Building forts underwater" is debatable. In my opinion, we could use a "Tutorial" namespace, or tutorials/advice like this could be placed in a subpage of, say, [[design strategies]] or [[megaprojects]]. (That leads to versioning issues, though, although something like {{tl|mwv}} could help resolve them) --[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 21:41, 19 December 2013 (UTC) | :::Regarding underwater forts (and building forts in any location): that kind of information would be useful to some players, and there isn't exactly a comprehensive source of information on the wiki, but I agree that the place of an article like "Building forts underwater" is debatable.
