I know that perfect is the enemy of good, and any documentation is better than none, but just thought I'd ask about this, and see if/where something like this ought to be posted.

:::: The "current" redirects also cause the version box to incorrectly show that the current version has a page - e.g. [[23a:Cave_river]] shows a v50.04 version, but it's just a redirect back to that version. Similarly, what should happen to redirects like [[Clothes maker]], where a concept has evolved? It currently goes to [[23a:Clothes maker]] - that's correct if the user is trying to look up a very old concept, but if a new user is looking for "how to make clothes", they should be directed to [[Clothier]]. --[[User:Danny252|Danny252]] ([[User talk:Danny252|talk]]) 12:16, 26 December 2022 (UTC) | :::: The "current" redirects also cause the version box to incorrectly show that the current version has a page - e.g. [[23a:Cave_river]] shows a v50.04 version, but it's just a redirect back to that version.

:::: One should be careful with cv redirects. Most that were recently adjusted were unused plural forms (that should probably be deleted) but few like [[Crown]] needed that for backward compatibility. Removing the [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Crown&type=revision&diff=279966&oldid=219482 cv part] means the the link on [[v0.31:Tilesets]] is now broken. --[[User:Jan|Jan]] ([[User talk:Jan|talk]]) 22:30, 26 December 2022 (UTC) | :::: One should be careful with cv redirects.

:Trade wagons has been modified in v50. The first wagons will arrive at the same time your fort is becoming a barony. Until then, it's only pack animals and stairs are indeed fine.

− | As far as I can tell, none of the workshop buildings in v50 have blocking tiles any more. There's a comment to the like in data/vanilla/vanilla_buildings/objects/building_custom.txt that says this "[BLOCK:1:0:0:0] workbenches no longer block". Hesitant to update that template as I'm not sure if it's referenced for all of the old versions too.

Personally I think option b) is better, because I think it's silly to undo some work just to reintroduce it a few weeks later, with the necessary corrections. Even if a copy/paste of a previous version takes ~15 seconds, considering the number of articles that need to be corrected, it would be a bit of a waste of time.--[[User:Halavus|Halavus]] ([[User talk:Halavus|talk]]) 14:22, 3 January 2023 (UTC) | Personally I think option b) is better, because I think it's silly to undo some work just to reintroduce it a few weeks later, with the necessary corrections.

::In my opinion, the page size isn't an issue. The vermin list is large, but not "excruciatingly" large. At the absolute worst, it makes a massive page just a bit bigger, and it isn't going to ease someone's scrolling adventure by all ''that'' much if it's not there.

::: Unfortunately page size being an issue isn't a matter of opinion: [[Creature]] was, even before your edit, huge and partially broken. Nearly the entire vermin section you added has nothing but broken images (https://imgur.com/a/gpi7guA). We need to fix the situation of broken images before we can consider increasing this page's size further. The other issue with your edit is that we cannot have two vermin tables on different pages; we need a single source of truth to be able to maintain the info (which could be a template transcluded in multiple places). —[[User:OddballJoe|OddballJoe]] ([[User talk:OddballJoe|talk]]) 19:12, 9 February 2023 (UTC) | ::: Unfortunately page size being an issue isn't a matter of opinion: [[Creature]] was, even before your edit, huge and partially broken.
