User talk:Forsamori

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.

"You have been processed! Go forth, now, and edit!" --Savok

making a labyrinth

Fine start to an article. Couple points...

• Wiki pages do not "belong" to people, except User: pages.
• This wiki discourages crediting articles/input/submissions/contributions/ideas to individuals. That discourages editing, and often an "idea" was thought of long ago, just not written up and submitted.

• Also, as an article gets edited (and it will be), that "credit" starts to get muddied - best not to start.

• Without links to and from other pages, any article is nearly useless, as the only way anyone will find it to read it is by accident. Link to, link from, link early, link often!
• On your User page, (almost) anything is acceptable - don't worry about "style" or "presentation" - or links, if you don't want them. But in articles, avoid 'chattiness", and saying "I" - keep it impersonal, keep it general, keep it academic. read other articles for examples.

No censure is intended here - you're doing fine, and, indeed, welcome to the wiki! But if you're going to contribute outside your User page, read the above, ask questions, start to figure out and try to follow the "wiki style", and we'll readya later.--Albedo 16:53, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
