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) | Greetings, and thanks for the contributions.

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 {{L|Pagename}} instead of [[Pagename]]. 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 {{L|Pagename}} will automatically get converted to [[DF2010:Pagename]]. Using [[Pagename]] 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. --Ral 03:01, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
