v0.31 Talk:Genetics

Deletion?
I don't know whether to flag this for deletion or not. I'm new to DF wiki and I was a novice wiki editor but it's now rusty. I don't know whether the complete lack of verification constitutes deleting it. The only real citation is the deleted talk page it refers to. I'll probably flag it for deletion if it doesn't improve for a while and I get better at DF editing. Williamrmck 21:37, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
- *is a minor noob* I found that it's referenced in the release information. I'll try to fix this article later. Williamrmck 21:41, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
Dwarf Fortress Talk refers to the official podcast found here. It simply doesn't have a page here yet.- Knight Otu 06:50, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- Well, okay, it was deleted for being an orphan. Of course, it doesn't have to be an orphan.

- So you reverted this back to being exactly how you last edited it to, and now has a redlink again? Do you propose making the DF talks page to solve this redlink? Also, why don't we make that first paragraph more clear that the DF talk has information about both attributes and appearance modifiers (since it is the only info available about dwarven genetics)?

- Well, yes, I do think that the official podcast deserves a page (but I guess if the one who deleted it says no to creating a new page on DF Talk, then that would be it). It's why I added the link here and in an article draft in the first place, before I knew it had been deleted previously - so that the article would be written eventually, even if I didn't have the opportunity to do it myself at that time.
- It isn't the only source on genetics and inheritance by the way - it was first mentioned on the January 11th/12th 2009 devlogs. There haven't been many posts asking Toady questions regarding it, so there is little additional information at this time, though.

- I should probably mention that, when I reverted, I had intended to create the page right then, but then I saw that it had been deleted previously.

- This also reverted some rearranging and minor clarifying. Should I re-edit to include that redlink but also have my edits or do you dislike the edits I did? Also, I feel a page for the talks, even if it is a stub, would be extremely invaluable. I'm very glad that I stumbled across them, they're a treasure trove of knowledge and I feel they deserve a wiki page. Williamrmck 18:09, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
