40d Talk:Department of Dwarven Veteran's Affairs

Genius! A masterwork idea! Noctis 09:49, 11 December 2007 (EST)

This is destined to be deleted. I'm not sure why anyone goes to the trouble of writing a creative work in this space. Should be moved to the author's page. --Geofferic 19:04, 12 December 2007 (EST)

Hilarious! You should start your own section of these under your author page. A tongue in cheek guide to dwarf fortress. Calculus 19:06, 12 December 2007 (EST)

You shoulda seen the old wiki - before the agents of poo-taaa-tooo, PO-TA-TO! turned up and made it uniformatted. Good example would be discussing the old-skool lumberjack "cutting himself down trees" :P --Frostedfire 02:48, 14 December 2007 (EST)

The author page - that's the one linked to by my signature isn't it?

This fine article and this discussion gave me idea about a "shadow" wiki. For most popular topics - make a default serious article (as is now for most topics) and make a clearly marked, unified style links at the top of some pages to "shadow" variants that would state basically the same things as the original but in a creative tongue in cheek words. Of course only "shadow" article should be allowed to wiki-link to other "shadow" articles.--Another 04:15, 14 December 2007 (EST)

Not a shadowed wiki, but instead a flavored wiki. It would be as easy as linking to Flavor:article instead of the normal article. --Ikkonoishi 11:04, 14 December 2007 (EST)

Or even merely a template like the spoiler template, that simply says "Information on this particular article is meant purely for humor value and should not be taken seriously. (However accurate it may in fact be.)"--Alfador 11:28, 14 December 2007 (EST)

This would be nice. I liked the old elephant article with all the humor and stuff, and it would fit perfectly in a flavored version of this wiki. --Penguinofhonor 15:16, 15 December 2007 (EST)

The new Carp article ought to be fodder for that sort of page. --Alfador 11:47, 17 December 2007 (EST)
