* Never, ever, put a question mark in the title of a page. This is not an undoable mistake. The rule list elaborates.

* When making comments on a talk page, use one more colon before each line in your comment than was used in the comment you reply to. Put exactly one empty line between comments by different users but do not use blank lines inside of a comment. If your comment has no indents, use <code><nowiki><br></nowiki></code> after each line.

* Avoid making many small edits to a page. Instead, try to make one large edit. This makes the history of the page a lot easier to read.

I am just curious: do you all prefer a vertically-oriented fortress, or a horizontally-oriented one? Why? --[[User:Zombiejustice|Zombiejustice]] 21:22, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

* Don't edit the user page of another user. If you want to tell them something, add the comment to their talk page.

−
* If you put a comment at the bottom of a talk page with section headers, you've probably put it in a section. Don't put things in the wrong sections. If necessary, create a section.

I generally prefer a horizontally oriented fortress, because dwarves have an annoying habit of tripping and falling. With the exception of a few off-lying military towers, most of my fortress is contained inside of three stories. --[[User:Cypress|Cypress]] 19:57, 26 August 2008 (EDT)

* Most importantly, [[DwarfFortressWiki:Community_Portal#We_are_doing_this.21_Let_us_do_it_right.|read and follow the rules.]] Really. Read them.

:Personally, while I understand the logic of a vertical fortress, and even had one spectacularly successful one that had booze barrels on every floor around the staircase, I still end up making my layouts predominantly horizontal. I'm pretty sure that at least part of that is because of the psychological factor when dealing with noise - it's easier to space a fortress out laterally so that the Dwarves' bedrooms are far away from the workshops, than it is to do the same vertically. However, duplicating a higher floor with the same layout on a lower floor gives all the expandability you'd ever need. --[[User:Nekojin|Nekojin]] 20:13, 26 August 2008 (EDT)
