"Merpeople have the most detailed raws of any fanciful creature in Dwarf Fortress. This is pointless, however, as they have the [FANCIFUL] tag and will not appear in the game as anything but statues and engravings."
What? I had very often merpeople in my good aligned oceans WITHOUT removing the [FANCIFUL] tag. The [FANCIFUL] tag doesn't remove the creature from the game, as even dragons have it. And most people can verify that dragons exist. :3 I would think that only the [DOES_NOT_EXIST] tag removes the creature from the game (Who had thought by the name of that tag?). So as I proved that the quote above is not true, I remove it.--Niggy 18:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
- I stand corrected. While correcting things, however, try and rewrite it so it doesn't look like multiple people were correcting one another. That's just awkward. --JohnnyMadhouse 19:09, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
- Supposedly, [FANCIFUL] just makes it so that everybody knows that the creature exists and will thus be able to depict it in engravings and such, even if they don't have a preference for it. --Quietust 19:54, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
