I've been seeing your edits on the recent changes page for a while now. Good job. :-) Emufarmers 08:22, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
Creature Type Pages
Are those supposed to be stub articles, or did you mean to create them as categories? --Quietust 22:28, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- Mainly I created them as stub articles so I would have somewhere to link the "interesting" attributes in the creature info box. That way the info box can just say "No Stun" with a link to more information if the user desires, but without cluttering up the info box with excessive common knowledge. While I also considered adding these tags as categories to the proper creature pages, I haven't put in the time to make that all work yet. --Loci 22:35, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
- Eh, I tried to set up categories for the various "interesting" attributes, but the creature pages would display the categories without actually being assigned to the categories. Presumably it was a problem with transclusion depth, or formatting, or something. Someone more familiar with the system could probably get it to work, but I didn't feel like spending any more time on the problem so I removed the categories. --Loci 12:39, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
- That's because you were just inserting page links - if you wanted to put them in categories, you should've used [[Category:DF2012:whatever]] rather than just [[whatever]]. --Quietust 13:52, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

- Not quite. I actually had added the categories using the {{Category|foo}} template, but removed them because they didn't work. Your links aren't working for me, either. When I click on Category:DF2012:Flying, for instance, I get "This category currently contains no pages or media." If, however, I add the category template {{Category|Flying}} to a creature page directly, the creature shows up on the category page.
