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: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.
 
−
* Some pages have version-specific articles, (ie: 40d, 23a...) when creating a redirect from the mainspace to a version specific article, use cv: instead of the version namespace.

Welcome!

Welcome to this wiki! Dwarf Fortress rapidly becomes more complicated, and we're always glad to have new writers.


Welcome! "Copy/paste errours" are mainly just due to editor laziness - if you check the info against the RAW files, or against actual gameplay, check that every keystroke and token and announcement color appear the same (we don't expect perfection, tho' it'd always be nice), then you're good to go. Readya later, --Albedo 19:27, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

From the raws that I've looked at, it looks like there are still a few small errors to be ironed out, like unicorns giving birth to elk fawns, which has been ascribed to Toady copy-pasting. I expect that will be fixed soon, but until then would it be best to hold off on adding that information to pages? Thanks! --JohnnyMadhouse 19:36, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to say nice work on the traps page.

Thank you! JohnnyMadhouse 02:35, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
Indeed, you edited my orcsicle maker entry making it much more concise, cheers. Vattic 05:36, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! I took a look at the link to your user page and the trap was covered in such exhaustive, good detail there that I figured I could trim the trap page a little. It's a magnificent concept.JohnnyMadhouse 06:11, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

template:L

A regular [[]] link points to an article in the main namespace, but every page there is a redirect that looks like [[cv:somepage]]. These cv links are a precaution for the future: they always point to namespace corresponding to the most recent version. So regular [[]] links will point to more recent pages when (well, if) they show up. This is a bit of a problem if you want to specify which page you're linking to. So one way to do it is to type out [[DF2010:mylink|mylinkname]] which will link to the specified page in the specified namespace. The alternative is to use template:L, which generates a link to the namespace of the page it's placed on.

tl;dr: {{L|link|linkname}} is preferred over [[link|linkname]] VengefulDonut 15:09, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
