The wiki system is set up to autoconfirm a user after 3 days of existence as a registered user.  Once that's done, you'll never have to enter a captcha again.

Hello, I'd like to offer a few suggestions:
 +
* Could the bot which went through and replaced all the v0.31 article links with DF:2012 links be modified to actually create those articles with a <nowiki>{{av}}</nowiki> template inserted, so that users can reference an older version easily while understanding that it could be outdated?
 +
* Could a bot be created to go through all the current dead links and create those articles and place a <nowiki>{{av}}</nowiki> template within them?
 +
* Failing that, I'd be willing to volunteer for this; I understand that I should talk to you for article creation. In that case, would I have to present you with a list of articles to be created?

== cv ==

So, forgive my continuing ignorance, but once the changeover happens, "cv" will then become whatever version 2010 is, right? And if so, how do we then distinguish between redirects appropriate only to the 40d legacy articles (which are currently being "corrected" using CV) and those that should go to the then truly "current version" 2010 articles?--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 21:45, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

== PROBLEM ==
−
Hi. I'm ''sure'' what you meant was to ask ''"Why did you delete that?"'', and not presume to lecture me about how redirects work. And my response would be - ''"Why did you create it?"''  Because I didn't "change" it, I ''deleted'' it - and there's a difference, and a difference in the reasoning behind each. 
+
since you "upgraded" the wiki, sometimes when i try to load a page, any kind of page in the wiki, instead of loading the page, my browser (chrome) starts downloading a file like this:   DF2010-Magma.gz
 +
the file never ends downloading and it contains nothing, so i dont know whats the deal with that, sometime is loads teh page as usual
 +
*Take a look at [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=96229.0 this forum thread] - most cases seem to result from using Avast Antivirus along with Google Chrome. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 00:38, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

"Gold bars" is not really a term to link from, just not appropriate for a page title.  It's not a term likely to be typed in to the search window, nor is it a wiki-article title in game terms. [[Gold]] is a perfectly valid (and existing) search term, and [[bars]] are as well, but not in the sense of "gold bars", unless you are [[construction|constructing]] horizontal or vertical bars from a single '''[[bar]]''' of [[gold]] ("bars" of gold being distinct from a "bar" of gold, for better or worse).  And it's not usually a policy to create redirects, even Search redirects, based on erroneous understandings of the layout of the wiki.  (If so, "silver bars", "copper bars", "bismuth bronze battle axe" and "narrow giant cave spider silk trousers" could all be included by some well meaning user based on one User's example - and that's more work than I want. Or any Admin.)  More, "gold bars" is plural, which breaks yet another rule.  So why, pray, do we need it in the first place?  Lastly, if "gold bars" ''were'' a valid search or redirect term, I would think it should redirect to either "bar", the item (to clarify what a "bar" is, gold or not), or "gold" (the [[material]], to address that aspect), rather than [[metal]], which doesn't address the actual term, but is only a generally related umbrella article - but that confusion gets back to the reason I deleted it in the first place.  I didn't even notice it was you that had created that page, but if I had I would have asked you this before deleting it.  So... since we're here, why ''did'' you see a need to create it in the first place?
 
  
−
And while we're on the subject, you seem to be fairly enthusiastic about redirecting every game term to cv:game term - even if they are NOT version specific. You may want to slow down before hitting every last one, since things like [[acronym]]s and such will then have to be tracked down and returned to mainspace existence.  Several in the long, long list on [[:Category:Obsolete]] seem more than a bit suspect, but I suppose now that it's done only the new version will prove them so or not. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 02:47, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

== Upload Button Missing ==
−
I agree that it's maybe a silly redirect, however, right now I am making sure
+
Hello. I've uploaded [[http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/File:DA_Quarters.JPG,stuff]] before, but the upload link seems to have vanished for me. (I'd like to upload a small .exe file which makes the depot tradeing semi-automated so I can link to it from my user page.) What should I do?
−
these redirects all work properly
 
−
Use some discretion. I saw a page marked N(ew), and it didn't belong. If you recognize it as "silly", then don't go to the trouble to perpetuate it.   And allow me to make something else clear that you should understand. Before you replace a page that Admin has deleted, you should ask them "why?" first. Thanks so much for your understanding on that last point.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 03:07, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 
−
Discretion only slows down serializable tasks like the one I was doing. It's much easier to follow the
 
−
same pattern over and over and then go back and do all the stuff necessary to remove a silly redirect
 
−
So you are going to cover all those "silly" redirects that require it? Reassuring to hear - so long as someone has it covered, no problem then.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 03:18, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 
−
Also, because there's no real reason not to have most of these redirects, it's silly to bother 
 
−
checking each one before fixing them. If the admins at this wiki are of the "I'm an admin, so my
 
−
word is law" attitude, I'm not sure this is a place I want to be.
 
−
If that were the case, I would have simply acted high-handed and slapped you and not explained my reasoning - but we both know I didn't, so I'm left wondering why you even mention it. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for ''your'' reason for replacing the page that an Admin deleted rather than asking them why they did it. Even if you ''were'' Admin, do you think that is a good approach to the situation?--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 03:24, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
 
−
I didn't notice that you had deleted it until after I had recreated it.
 
−
I see.
 
−
I ask again if you use either of those other communication methods...
 
−
it's much easier to work these things out in real time.
 
−
No, sorry. And as Admin of this wiki, I feel it's important to use this format to work these things out. Which (I hope) we've now done. Readya later.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 17:45, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Will it do that daily/hourly? B/c new pages are flying up without it.

Right now, it's amateur hour out there, so any help is a good thing in those directions.  (No automatic fixes?

==Deletion Template==
+
Why can't I create new pages? I want to create a page about normal eagles.
−
I explained my reasoning on the talk page, but in short: (1)The mod is not at all notable.  (I am not willing to claim a notable mod would not deserve a page on its own, but this is a mod that adds 4 creatures and no one talks about - hardly deserving of a page).  (2) There is only one relevant piece of information about this mod - where it can be found.  (3) The page doesn't even include that information, and is thus useless.  (4) A link to the mod on DFFD or its forum thread, and a very short blurb ("adds 4 new mega beasts") should be added to a general mod page if the mod is going to have a presence on the wiki. --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 05:43, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
 
−
:Ah, sure, i can do that. I honestly just took a stab in the dark that deletion was the right template, and didn't actually know there were options... la la la? --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 06:39, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

== [[Template:Alloy3]] ==
+
: This wiki is going through a lot now. New name space for the latest DF version has been created and articles are copied to it, as far as they are still valid for the new version. Also this wiki's cluster size has been increased by two new servers and many things around it are being configured. So I think the admins just prohibited new article creation for a while until they sort things out. --[[User:Nagidal|Nagidal]] 17:31, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
  
−
I wasn't sure who to mention this to, and I apologize if it has already been noted, but this template is in use on 40d pages while the link built into the template for [[construction]] links to the "2010" namespace. Not sure what the best way to fix it would be, as I assume that the template will continue to be used. --[[User:Soy|Soy]] 16:10, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I spoke before I read his talk page.  And I remembered it as CMD.  And he's right in that that's how it "should" be - the fact that it's not how it is in-game just an awkward DF reality. Altho', I see it as a style issue, not a coding issue.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 02:36, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
 
−
I probably still would have argued for Cmd with a redirect from CMD.
 
−
That's not an issue to take up over one page - that's a global style issue, and would change the established, existing guidelines on [[Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki:Community_Portal]].

:Personally, i would've gone for a template that marks an ip, or user. Maybe like it being called UserReport, or Report, and then people could do the template thing to report a user. Not sure how that could be coded in, but it could allow administrators to be more warned and prepared to provide a look at the ip. To be honest, all these spambots are just strange.

there is no "DF2012 Talk:Cave crocodile", added an my issue  about my "Bosa, Cave Crocodile (+trained+)" which cost me about an game-hour lost due to reloading save  in the article. Wonder, why there is no "talk" pages for everything by default? There are many cases which need some science before editing articles :(

:It seems like the wiki is a bit buggy in this regard. On [[Special:ListGroupRights]], only Administrators have the "createtalk" permission, which seems to be required to create talk pages.

Sometimes it would stop me immediately upon clicking the "Create" tab, and it always seemed to happen when I tried to Show Changes.

Here's something I've been thinking to add to the wiki for a couple of months now, but am not really sure what would be the best way to do it. I often set up fairly specialized stockpiles. For instance a stockpile only for seeds, another one for picks, and yet another only for empty bags (but not chests). When I was new to the game I did not know how to do these things. I expected to find the info how to set up a stockpile just for one kind of an item in the item's respective wiki page. Sometimes I was lucky, sometimes not.

Most furnitures have a piece of text about such stockpile setting somewhere in the article or at least a hint, e.g. in [[Cage]]s you can read that "Cages are stored on the Animal Stockpile." In [[Seed]]s, however, there's nothing that tells you that they are in the Food stockpile, and the [[Pick]] page redirects to [[Equipment]] which doesn't say anything about a stockpile for picks either.

+
Three ways how to add this information to the wiki came to my mind, all have their pros and cons:
  
−
== User page request ==
+
: '''1.''' A stockpile setting overview page. Basically a table of all the stockpile categories, subcategories, and item entries from the stockpile setting page ({{k|p}}-{{k|t}}) and tell the users to find (Ctrl-F) the item somewhere on the page.
 +
:: '''Pro:''' Done quickly.
 +
:: '''Con:''' I assume people would rather expect to find the stockpile setting info in the item's dedicated page and would not think of looking for it in a stockpile setting page. Also, users should not be bothered with a search in page.
 +
 
 +
: '''2.''' Adding a "Stockpile" section to the <nowiki>{{furniture}}</nowiki> float, where people could see how to set it up.
 +
:: '''Pro:''' Stockpile setting would be found extremely easily.
 +
:: '''Con:''' No solution for non-furniture items.
 +
:: '''Con:''' Would contain too much text in some cases (e.g. for bags you need to restrict the material to differentiate them from coffers or chests).
 +
 
 +
: '''3.''' Each item which can have its individual stockpile could have its own wiki page with a "Stockpile setting" section (or maybe a <nowiki>{{stockpile}}</nowiki> float?) where you could see this kind of information.
 +
:: '''Pro:''' Stockpile setting would be found easily. People would soon realize that every item which can have a dedicated stockpile has its own wiki page which has a section where they find the stockpile setting.
 +
:: '''Con:''' Requires many new pages to be created, but most of them would not contain much other information except for how to set an individual stockpile for them.  Here I'm thinking of pages like [[Plump helmet spawn]], [[Hood]], [[Raw skin]].
 +
 
 +
Personally, I would go with solution '''3'''. I see that it is unnecessary to have an individual wiki page for each of the hundreds of animal species you can see listed in the Animal stockpile. Yet I think we should differentiate all the non-animal items as deep as [[skull]] is in the refuse stockpile, or each individual weapon is in the weapon stockpile.
 +
 
 +
So what do you guys think? Do you have any other ideas how and where to save this stockpile setting information in the wiki? Would you mind me starting to add a "Stockpile settings" section to the items' pages and creating new pages where there are redirects or no pages? I admit it would look a bit weird if there were a page about an item but no other info on it except for a stockpile setting. On the other hand this could motivate other active users to add something more.

This text seems inaccurate with 2012 on the DF2012:Container page: (any of these 4 container types can be used to satisfy the "Needs: X Chests" requirement for nobles).
 +
 
 +
There is no Discussion page for Containers. I'm a fairly inexperienced player and just got my first Mayor who demanded two chests and a cabinet. Based on the above text I made three rock cabinets and after placing them it did not satisfy the 2 chests requirement. When I made two metal chests and placed them the requirement was met.

Since there's no discussion page, should I just edit the page and remove that line or put a note next to it that says this may not be accurate?

Like many other sections, this is for a user page. Why don't you leave it up to people to create their own user page and this just be for new pages on the wiki [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Main_Page]? It would be a lot less demanding on you and people can get the feel for writing a page by themselves.

:Hey, to the extent that it can be (e.g. game data files are a notable exception) everything on the wiki is covered under the GNU FDL. As long as you follow that license, you can generally use any content from this website (again, there are some exceptions, and usually they are noted). However, please do not call the app "Dwarf Fortress Wiki", since I'd like to avoid confusion as to how closely the app is related to the wiki.

Looks like someone is messing with the wiki. Several pages are displaying a floating box with the text "I HATE N****RS" and several other pages have the goatse image edited in at the top. I haven't figured out how to block the float box with uBlock yet, but I'm not very good at html, so. Ya might want to freeze edits to the wiki for a minute.

I saw that you banned the first person, but then I noticed a series of new accounts created shortly after That first one was banned. They were all created within a few minutes of eachother, which I saw in the account creation logs page. So just wanted make you aware of that in case you didn't see that as well.

Empty DF:2012 Articles[edit]

Hello, I'd like to offer a few suggestions:

  • Could the bot which went through and replaced all the v0.31 article links with DF:2012 links be modified to actually create those articles with a {{av}} template inserted, so that users can reference an older version easily while understanding that it could be outdated?
  • Could a bot be created to go through all the current dead links and create those articles and place a {{av}} template within them?
  • Failing that, I'd be willing to volunteer for this; I understand that I should talk to you for article creation. In that case, would I have to present you with a list of articles to be created?

--Reilwin 02:53, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

Looks like I can create articles myself after enough edits. --Reilwin 06:35, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Spanish translation[edit]

Hello! I'm a Spanish player of this game and I would like to begin the translation of this wiki into Spanish. I hope you like the idea! Regards.


PROBLEM[edit]

since you "upgraded" the wiki, sometimes when i try to load a page, any kind of page in the wiki, instead of loading the page, my browser (chrome) starts downloading a file like this: DF2010-Magma.gz the file never ends downloading and it contains nothing, so i dont know whats the deal with that, sometime is loads teh page as usual

  • Take a look at this forum thread - most cases seem to result from using Avast Antivirus along with Google Chrome. --Quietust 00:38, 10 February 2012 (UTC)


Upload Button Missing[edit]

Hello. I've uploaded [[1]] before, but the upload link seems to have vanished for me. (I'd like to upload a small .exe file which makes the depot tradeing semi-automated so I can link to it from my user page.) What should I do?

Thanks, 

---DDR 01:28, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Update: Oh, so it's just down for a few days? OK, I'll be patient. Thanks for all the work you've done here, Emi. :)

Eagles[edit]

Why can't I create new pages? I want to create a page about normal eagles.

This wiki is going through a lot now. New name space for the latest DF version has been created and articles are copied to it, as far as they are still valid for the new version. Also this wiki's cluster size has been increased by two new servers and many things around it are being configured. So I think the admins just prohibited new article creation for a while until they sort things out. --Nagidal 17:31, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
I've seen Briss has created the Eagle page, maybe it's so that you can fill it with content. --Nagidal 18:50, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

a namespace just for me?[edit]

It says that if i'd like a user page i should post here asking for one. can i have a namespace for me please? under Zazq? Zazq 21:48, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

A namespace is not the same as a user page. I'm almost sure you can't have a namespace just for you, but you can certainly have your own userpage where you can set up your own sandbox. I have created you your userpage, just click on the link on your name in the signature. You can start forging some good articles on your userpage. --Nagidal 23:46, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Request for Confirmed User[edit]

I was wondering what I need to do to be able to upload a file. I registered four days ago, and have been waiting to become an "Autoconfirmed user" so that I can add my tileset to the Tileset repository. The "autoconfirmation" never comes, however. Attempting to google the issue said that I should be autoconfirmed after 3 days, which has not occurred. Am I missing something? --Taffer 13:10, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello again! Thanks for the help earlier, and sorry for the second message. Would it be alright if I have a user page? Thank you! --Taffer 18:51, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Cached Special Pages[edit]

The wiki currently has $wgMiserMode enabled, resulting in a number of special pages having their results cached (by MediaWiki itself) to reduce server load, but there's no cron job to run /maintenance/updateSpecialPages.php and actually update those pages - as a result, they're all 3 months out of date. I've mentioned this at least 3 times on IRC but it still hasn't been fixed. --Quietust 20:24, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Is the DF2012:Creatures page getting too big for the server?[edit]

The Creatures page still needs to be updated with the new creatures for the lakes/rivers but when I try to submit or preview tha page I get a blank page and a submitted update is not visible on the page. Is the page simply too big now, or is there some server side changes that can be made to fix this? Organised chaos 20:18, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

  • If you ask me, the Creatures page is currently being done all wrong - it should only list each creature once and include the relevant biomes, rather than copy/pasting it for every single biome (and introducing errors when one entry has different values from the others). --Quietust 21:00, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

DFRawFunctions[edit]

I've got an update for DFRawFunctions (corrects behavior for a few functions and adds new features to some others) which also includes a few new raw files - when you've got a chance, pull 'em from github. In fact, some option to automatically pull updates from github either periodically (once or twice a day) or on demand (e.g. editing a particular wiki page) would be really nice so I won't have to bug you about it. --Quietust 18:27, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

I want to make Korean Wiki.[edit]

I was looking for administrator to discuss this, but I couldn't find anyone... also, I'm not sure that I should talk it to you. anyway, I leave this here.

I want to make Korean Wiki, There're some Korean fan, but they hardly play the game because of the lack of game information. So I thought They need wiki to know the game. I want to know whether the administrator can found Korean version of this wiki or not.

How can I get the permission about it? Is it needed that something to verify myself to them? I hope I would take a positive answer. --Tragal 14:44, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

I can verify that artifact doors are indestructible. An artifact door is all that stands between my necropolis fortress (some 100 casualties in the previous siege) and 8 trolls standing right outside the door.

Hello there! I am writing this to request the a user page (obviously :)) I'm a confirmed user, although I have less than 10 edits so far, I swear I am not a bot!

Permission to make new Discussion pages?[edit]

Hi Emi. I was trying to start a Discussion page in the "Sedimentary" article, but ran into a permission error. Since I am a longtime user, may I please have permission to make new pages? -Coaldiamond 20:00, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

It seems like the wiki is a bit buggy in this regard. On Special:ListGroupRights, only Administrators have the "createtalk" permission, which seems to be required to create talk pages. However, I was just able to create DF2012 Talk:Sedimentary layer, but only after several attempts failing from a Permission error. Sometimes it would stop me immediately upon clicking the "Create" tab, and it always seemed to happen when I tried to Show Changes. I'm not really sure why this would happen, unless we're running on multiple servers and the configuration isn't synchronized. Hope this helps. --timrem 21:26, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
i just encoutered this problem today, I thought it'd be prohibited to create a user discussion page but that did not make sense to me. I hope this issue will be resolved soon. --Nagidal 07:28, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
Yup, I too have noticed some odd inconsistency in the way the wiki may or may not allow you to create a page, with it being allowed after some N number of page reloads. I've mentioned on the Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Improvement Drive page that the wiki software is several versions out of date, so if we could get it updated, that would hopefully fix this problem. Is Briess the correct person to contact about this, or is it someone else? -- HiEv 22:48, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
A user will be unable to create any pages (talk or otherwise) until they make 10 edits to the wiki. There was a configuration error with one of the web servers that has been fixed which was denying create talk page rights to all users. --Briess 23:46, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

Stockpile setting info[edit]

Here's something I've been thinking to add to the wiki for a couple of months now, but am not really sure what would be the best way to do it. I often set up fairly specialized stockpiles. For instance a stockpile only for seeds, another one for picks, and yet another only for empty bags (but not chests). When I was new to the game I did not know how to do these things. I expected to find the info how to set up a stockpile just for one kind of an item in the item's respective wiki page. Sometimes I was lucky, sometimes not.

Most furnitures have a piece of text about such stockpile setting somewhere in the article or at least a hint, e.g. in Cages you can read that "Cages are stored on the Animal Stockpile." In Seeds, however, there's nothing that tells you that they are in the Food stockpile, and the Pick page redirects to Equipment which doesn't say anything about a stockpile for picks either.

Let's see an example of a stockpile setting info I'd like to see about bags:

Stockpile of Bags: Furniture > Types > boxes and bags. Disable Stone/Clay and Metal. Restrict Other Materials to cloth, leather, silk, yarn."

I'll probably find a better way to express it, I'll have to see that it looks more or less the same across wiki pages, too.

Three ways how to add this information to the wiki came to my mind, all have their pros and cons:

1. A stockpile setting overview page. Basically a table of all the stockpile categories, subcategories, and item entries from the stockpile setting page (p-t) and tell the users to find (Ctrl-F) the item somewhere on the page.
Pro: Done quickly.
Con: I assume people would rather expect to find the stockpile setting info in the item's dedicated page and would not think of looking for it in a stockpile setting page. Also, users should not be bothered with a search in page.
2. Adding a "Stockpile" section to the {{furniture}} float, where people could see how to set it up.
Pro: Stockpile setting would be found extremely easily.
Con: No solution for non-furniture items.
Con: Would contain too much text in some cases (e.g. for bags you need to restrict the material to differentiate them from coffers or chests).
3. Each item which can have its individual stockpile could have its own wiki page with a "Stockpile setting" section (or maybe a {{stockpile}} float?) where you could see this kind of information.
Pro: Stockpile setting would be found easily. People would soon realize that every item which can have a dedicated stockpile has its own wiki page which has a section where they find the stockpile setting.
Con: Requires many new pages to be created, but most of them would not contain much other information except for how to set an individual stockpile for them. Here I'm thinking of pages like Plump helmet spawn, Hood, Raw skin.

Personally, I would go with solution 3. I see that it is unnecessary to have an individual wiki page for each of the hundreds of animal species you can see listed in the Animal stockpile. Yet I think we should differentiate all the non-animal items as deep as skull is in the refuse stockpile, or each individual weapon is in the weapon stockpile.

So what do you guys think? Do you have any other ideas how and where to save this stockpile setting information in the wiki? Would you mind me starting to add a "Stockpile settings" section to the items' pages and creating new pages where there are redirects or no pages? I admit it would look a bit weird if there were a page about an item but no other info on it except for a stockpile setting. On the other hand this could motivate other active users to add something more.

--Nagidal 10:56, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

I think a combination of 1 and 3 is a good approach. But feel free to do whatever you want - it is a wiki after all. :) -- Briess 20:31, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Yet Another User Page Creation Request. Thanks in advance! Urist McDorf 04:03, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Hang on a second, I was able to create my user page myself (by simply clicking on the redlink in my signature, and clicking "edit this page".). Not sure if that's a bug or a feature - perhaps the "page creation permitted after 10 edits" rule applies to user pages too? If so, maybe the banner announcement should note that - at present it sort of implies all new user pages need Emi to create them. Urist McDorf 04:19, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

hi Emi, how can i get a user page here

page request: Noise talk[edit]

I wish to start a page on Noise, talk page. I believe the 8 tile noise area is ridiculous and should be confirmed. On top, I never found dwarves to be awaken by such a thing. Discipol 12:04, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

User page creation request[edit]

Hello, please create one for me as well! Thanks, Waba 04:54, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

DF2012:Steel discussion page[edit]

I'd like to (suggest) add to the DF2012:Steel page an actual recipie for repeating steel production at a smelter, since it is not entirely well-described. I'd add it to the Discussion page there if there was one, but there isn't. Can one be created? (making steel at a smelter: Smelt <iron ore>/R, Make Pig Iron Bars/R, Make Steel Bars/R, Make Pig Iron Bars/R, Make Steel Bars/R -=> uses 1 iron ore, 4 flux, 4 or 5 coal to produce 4 Steel bars per cycle) Oh, and if it's not too much trouble, I'd like a User page too. Thanks, 16:45, 20 September 2012 (UTC) jpvlsmv

Please add user page for me bsod.phantom - thanks[edit]

Please add user page for me bsod.phantom - thanks Bsod.phantom 06:08, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

need discussion page for DF2012:Container[edit]

This text seems inaccurate with 2012 on the DF2012:Container page: (any of these 4 container types can be used to satisfy the "Needs: X Chests" requirement for nobles).

There is no Discussion page for Containers. I'm a fairly inexperienced player and just got my first Mayor who demanded two chests and a cabinet. Based on the above text I made three rock cabinets and after placing them it did not satisfy the 2 chests requirement. When I made two metal chests and placed them the requirement was met.

Since there's no discussion page, should I just edit the page and remove that line or put a note next to it that says this may not be accurate?

Specific heat Page[edit]

Greetings! I was doing some research and just noted that, the .40d [page] on Specific heat is largely correct but it's not in the 0.31 nor DF2012 sections. I tried editing the page myself but couldn't do it, so I'm suggestion someone ports it to a DF2012 article. --Arkhometha 08:09, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

Forget it, I was the one who didn't know how to use the wiki properly. Fixed the SPEC_HEAT page to have a proper page instead of just redirecting to the temperature page. --Arkhometha 07:42, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Yet another new user page request...[edit]

Hi. :) Could I please have a user page? I appreciate it. :) Trent 15:32, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Verified Users?[edit]

I don't contribute here too, too often, but does every user have to type in a captcha for every edit, or is there some way to get verified so I don't have to do it all the time? Danjen 03:24, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

If I recall correctly, you automatically become "confirmed" after 5-10 successful edits. --Quietust 13:51, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

A user page, please[edit]

Hi there, could I have a user page I can edit, please?

Many thanks, --Matthewbarr 10:46, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Ratings always fail for unconfirmed users[edit]

The rating script always says "success" when rating a page, but it never does anything when a user is unconfirmed. --Lethosor 19:31, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi! Please welcome me...[edit]

But before you can Welcome to the Dwarf Fortress Wiki, {{subst:PAGENAME}}! Here are some helpful links to get you started:

  • If you're new to editing wikis, the Help page has some useful technical information.
  • The Community portal has a collection of rules, many of them unique to this wiki. Rule G, Rule N, and Rule Z are three of the more important ones to keep in mind.
  • The announcements (usually) contain current, important information—be sure to check them periodically.
  • Special:RecentChanges shows all of the recent activity on the wiki. There isn't always a lot going on, but feel free to take a look and see what's happening around the wiki. (The "diff" link on the left shows what changed in an edit.)
  • See DF:Versions for an explanation of namespaces (e.g. "Main") and redirects on this wiki.
  • Help:Useful templates lists some commonly-used templates available on this wiki.

You Must Be Tired.[edit]

Like many other sections, this is for a user page. Why don't you leave it up to people to create their own user page and this just be for new pages on the wiki [3]? It would be a lot less demanding on you and people can get the feel for writing a page by themselves.

IIRC, it is done this way because the spambots like to auto-create user pages for their spam. --UristDaVinci 05:14, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

I have an error report[edit]

In the ingame Manual for Dwarf Fortress, in The Manual: Accounts it says 'stop' instead of 'shop'.

I didn't know whom to report this typo, so I'm posting here. Is this OK? – unsigned comment by 89.110.240.186

Thanks. Dwarf Fortress bug tracker is generally a good place to post those. --Lethosor 19:04, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

New page request (and/or allow me to create pages)[edit]

Could I please have the http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Tree-kills-woodcutter.png page created? I'm trying to add a picture to http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Wood_cutter (unless there's a better way?) --Infiltrator (talk) 09:14, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

I figured out (after RTFM) that I just had to made three edits to upload files, so that's cool now. However, what are requirements for getting permissions to create pages?
--Infiltrator (talk) 09:27, 3 February 2015 (UTC)
They should be the same (since uploading a file requires permission to create a page). —Lethosor (talk) 13:57, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Using This Wiki In My App[edit]

Hi Emi, was wondering if its okay for me to use data from this wiki in my android wiki app (which would be called Dwarf Fortress Wiki)? If anything, I can include copyright notes or any other required thing. Thanks!

Hey, to the extent that it can be (e.g. game data files are a notable exception) everything on the wiki is covered under the GNU FDL. As long as you follow that license, you can generally use any content from this website (again, there are some exceptions, and usually they are noted). However, please do not call the app "Dwarf Fortress Wiki", since I'd like to avoid confusion as to how closely the app is related to the wiki.

Account Recovery for Ral[edit]

Wiki is being messed with[edit]

Left this in the forums, but figure I'll leave it here too in case you check this more often:

Looks like someone is messing with the wiki. Several pages are displaying a floating box with the text "I HATE N****RS" and several other pages have the goatse image edited in at the top. I haven't figured out how to block the float box with uBlock yet, but I'm not very good at html, so. Ya might want to freeze edits to the wiki for a minute. 67.167.98.211 23:23, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

(reply?) Hi Emi, I'm a random person who happened to see that the wiki was being vandalised and was looking for a place to report it / make it aware to moderators. I saw that you banned the first person, but then I noticed a series of new accounts created shortly after That first one was banned. They were all created within a few minutes of eachother, which I saw in the account creation logs page. So just wanted make you aware of that in case you didn't see that as well. Sorry If I'm not supposed to be editing other peoples talk page?

I did notice that, I’m keeping an eye on them. :) And this is exactly what talk pages are for! Emi [T] 00:16, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Hey Emi. I highly recommend enabling RevisionDelete if it isn't already and hide the edits made by the individual. This would prevent regular users and the public from having access to the offensive texts through the history or recent changes pages. - Doorkeeper 11:49, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Looks like it's already being looked into on discord. Sorry - Doorkeeper 11:59, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
