User talk:Ziusudra

Welcome to this wiki! Dwarf Fortress rapidly becomes more complicated, and we're always glad to have new writers.
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 --~~~~ after your posts. This can also be inserted with the 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, read and follow the rules. They're like a little constitution, except not boring! Really, read them.

Key template

Thanks for fixing up some occurrences of < and > - it turned out that the issue was caused by this change that I made to {{key/0}}, which I've fixed. I'm probably also going to undo some of your changes in an attempt to make things clearer for editors - &lt; and &gt; are fine with me, but I had to look up what &#8203; was, and I'd rather use {{k|<}} and {{k|>}} in most cases if they work. But thank you for tracking down and fixing all of the pages that you did! —Lethosor (talk) 23:45, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

• Seconded! (and said as much in a couple edit summaries.) Btw, &#8203;, aka "number space", is a great tool. Just used it recently to force a bit more space in a table header to make the data in the cells in that column format more cleanly. Albedo (talk) 00:10, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Go forth, now, and edit!

A comment from 2009?! iirc the wiki and forums used the same account system back then, probably what triggered the auto comment, either way the wiki legends mode marks you as an historic figure!

Anyway, I have noticed that you have been updating Adventure mode quick start if you like rewrites, any chance you can take on Fortress Mode Quickstart Guide or Dwarf fortress mode?--Jan (talk) 18:15, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

I am much less experienced and confident with fort mode - havn't played it in months and didn't play much even then. Afaik, the wiki has always been a community administrated project and the forum and wiki hav never shared any account details - although, my first post on the forum is from 2007 and my first on the wiki isn't until 2017, so I could be wrong.

or my recollection is wrong, it has been a long time. Anyway, if things change we could use someone who can do page wide rewrites, less experience might be a boon, offering a better perspective for what is needed on a quickstart guide for example --Jan (talk) 18:45, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
