Empty DF:2012 Articles

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a {{av}} template inserted, so that users can reference an older version easily while understanding that it could be outdated?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

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

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

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

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?

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)

UserPage

could i have a page too? to edit and try stuff before posting ... Edit: it is Mohreb by the way ...

I'd like a user page too, name KevinFragger2427. Thanks.

v34 Utilities

Can we get a DF2012:Utilities page created?

Giant sponges

Hello, I am new to this wiki and I would like to add articles for giant sponges and giant mosquitoes.

I trust I can just copy-paste the old tags from a DF2010 creature page and change them accordyingly ?

Can I have two pages created?

I'd like to have two pages created for me, please.

1. I'd like my user-page created, so I can do all the other cool stuff that people do with their user-pages.

2. I would also like a whole new mod article made, please. Title it "Modern Warfare: Year 2100" too, please, as well.

EDIT: Username is UristMcHuman. Sorry I forgot that

Interactions.

I would like a page created under 2012:Interaction, please and thank you. Lofn 15:54, 25 February 2012 (UTC) EDIT: a userpage/sandbox would also be very much appreciated, if you find the time.

User page for Darchitect.

I'd like one, if you'd be so kind. Darchitect 20:24, 29 February 2012 (UTC)Darchitect

Favicon Recovery

I notice the favicon seems to have gotten lost somewhere along the way. Since I'm the one who initially made it using the main site logo for reference, I still have a copy sitting around. Here it is, feel free to use it again.

Request for User Page

Hi there, can you please add a user page for me? Thank you. Timtek 11:47, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Request for Confirmed User

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

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?

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

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.

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)

Create Redir DF2012:Well_guide

Need a redir or crosslink created from: DF2012:Well_guide (empty page) -> v0.31:Well_guide. And/or snap relevant links. --Kim Bruning 08:37, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

Froot wants a userpage too.

Hey-lo. Yet another userpage request. Froot 02:08, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

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 :(

Minecarts 101 page?

Can we get a "Minecarts 101" page started the same way there are intro pages for things like the military?

Thanks,

Could I get a page for my mod?

I'm currently working on a mod, and I'd really like a page where I can put what the mod is, how you use it, what it includes, etc... I'm sorry if it looks kinda sketchy that I just created this account today and I'm being vague about the mod Dx Anyways, if/when you create it, could you title it PlayableCiv+ Thanks:) Toxicshadow 05:30, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Requesting Page Creation for 'Fixed Creatures'

There has been some discussion on r/DwarfFortress ([2]) about animals that don't lay eggs that should, eggs that don't hatch due to a missing Tag, and other various issues. I would like to create a space where we can create a list of animals with the values and tags modified to be more accurate. Thanks!--Dragoon209

Edit: I haven't received any word that the pages have been created, and a quick search shows no matches for 'Fixed Creatures'. Is there any information I am missing to start the process? Thanks in advance! Dragoon209 18:19, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

What page titlewould you like? --Briess 18:26, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

How about "DF2012:Fixed_Creature_RAWs"? Dragoon209 18:34, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

2012 Talk:Door

Hi Emily,

I'd like to start DF2012 Talk:Door, since I can verify that artifact doors are indestructible. (There is a verify tag for that in the DF2012:Door#Notes section.) Here is the text I want to add:

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. The trolls have been there for an entire season. They showed up when the elven caravan arrived in spring, and are still there to greet the human caravan which just arrived.

User page request

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! I am actually more interested in the user page as a personal sandbox of the moment to figure out name space templates and the like without messing anything up. I use the wiki daily (I have only been playing for a few months, you guys were a life saver) so I am still going through plenty of articles all the time and would like to contribute more than I am able to now. I learn by doing and don't want to mess up any templates or the like :)

Thanks very much for any help you are able to provide -- Phage 05:45, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
