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 have been processed! Go forth, now, and edit!" --Savok

-Since you should try to follow wiki standards, and you probably don't know ours yet, we've made a list of basic guidelines. Note that this is a template, not a customized message for you.
-* To tell us who you are when you talk, please sign your posts on discussion pages by typing <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> after your posts. This can also be inserted with the [[Image:Button sig756222.png]] button if JavaScript is enabled.
-* Don't put a question mark in the title of a page. Question marks mess things up, and your page will be moved to a different name.
-* 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. In general, put exactly one empty line between comments by different users but do not use blank lines inside of a comment.
-* 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.
-* 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. Putting things in the wrong sections is confusing. You can create a section!
-* Generally, [[Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki:Community_Portal#We_are_doing_this.21_Let_us_do_it_right.|read and follow the rules.]] They're like a little constitution, except not boring! Really, read them.
-* Read the [[df:Site Announcements|site announcements]] regularly, they contain important info.
-* Check up on the [[df:Manual of Style|manual of style]] occasionally, it's still being written, but will contain important style info soon.
