Delete Stub "DF2014:Traitor"

Hi - first, good work as an editor, thanks! Now...
This should not be "removed" - information should never simply be deleted, neither article content nor active/useful Search terms. However, agreed re extreme Stub and re Rule F. So, unless/until enough is known about "traitor" to justify its own article, this will become a #REDIRECT and what info there is moved to another page - for now (and only unless someone has a better location), DF2014:Agent. Good call that the page needs to go, so now don't be shy to practice Rule B. ;) Albedo (talk) 01:21, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Ah yes, the reason I simply commented on it (and did some miniature cleaning) is that Antsy555 is seemingly a new editor, and I didn’t want to scare them off in case they were to return with more info. Otherwise I would have simply marked it for {{deletion}} (as one unverified sentence doesn’t really say much, imho). A redirect is the better solution though, this way an article remains to be salvaged if needed. Thank you :) Voliol (talk) 01:43, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

modding

concerning, I do agree that it would detract from the flow to the rest of the article, but have a different idea of how to approach this. I have started a discussion about the future of the entry DF2014_Talk:Modding#Split and would apricate your input on subject. --Jan (talk) 13:37, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

raws

I have yet to see an update on raws from lethosor, but it seems like he updated much of the raws. Thus you can just copy the code from previous namespace and change 'DF2014' to 'v50'. For example using: DF2014:Elk_bird/raw this:

<noinclude>{{raw header|creature|ELK_BIRD}}</noinclude>{{variation raw|v50:creature_next_underground.txt|CREATURE|ELK_BIRD|{{{1|}}}|v50:c_variation_default.txt}}<noinclude>{{raw footer|creature|ELK_BIRD}}</noinclude>

could be paste in Elk bird/raw. Note that the DFfunction also auto replace the APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION with the relevant tags. --Jan (talk) 22:17, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

I see, thanks! I don't think any of the creature_next_underground creatures should be affected by APPLY_CREATURE_VARIATION not being handled, since there are no animal people or giant animals among them... though I suppose they use it for the gaits. Is it okay to leave them as is, manually copy-pasted? --Voliol (talk) 23:55, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

I only learned about DFfunction recently lethosor would know best. But I believe that the DFfunction variant is preferred, this way in case of future raws changes you don't need to worry about updating each entry manually just update the raws files on the server and everything will auto update. --Jan (talk) 05:13, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
