* Request: v50's been out for nearly a year now and there is still no page on this wiki detailing what the new granular [[Difficulty]] settings do. Do we even ''know'' what they do? From what I can gather, '''Off''' stops outside enemies from entering the map (but still allows [[Intrigue]] and wildlife treated as dangerous to occur), '''Normal''' is as per usual, and '''Hard''' ensures a nonstop stream of [[Fun]] will relentlessly assault your fort, but other than that, I've no clue. [[User:CobaltNinja|CobaltNinja]] ([[User talk:CobaltNinja|talk]]) 19:20, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

*Request: [[Unusual volcanic wall]] - Right now there's a small section for this new (added in v50) structure/formation under the page for [[obsidian]] but I think it's notable/complex enough for its own page [[User:KM942|KM942]] ([[User talk:KM942|talk]]) 03:50, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

* Request: I would like to upload a few pictures (that I made and edited for clarity) to demonstrate a modular [[Minecart]] thumper design. [[User:2Bob|2Bob]] ([[User talk:2Bob|talk]]) 15:23, 2 January 2023 (UTC)2Bob

*Request: I would like to create [[The Long Night]] and several associated articles [[The Long Night: Civilizations]], [[The Long Night: Creatures]], [[The Long Night: Materials]], [[The Long Night: Weapons]], and [[The Long Night: Armor]] to form a more easily navigated guide to the new features found in the mod of the same name. [[Special:Contributions/98.212.135.225|98.212.135.225]] 23:51, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
** Since this is a mod, it should go under the mod namespace. I've created [[Mod:The Long Night]]; as it expands, I would suggest creating subpages like [[Mod:The Long Night/Creatures]]. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 01:25, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

** Done. DF also refers to these as "offering place"s in the {{k|b}} menu, but I didn't see existing pages where either of these were mentioned from a quick search. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 00:03, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

* Request: I would like to create [[DF2014:Philosopher]] and [[DF2014:Sage]] because these are new scholar jobs in 42.xx [[User:Lead Cafe|Lead Cafe]] ([[User talk:Lead Cafe|talk]]) 22:33, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
** Both are profession titles associated with scholars; I created them as redirects to [[DF2014:Scholar]].--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 04:08, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

*[[DF2014:Citizenship]] — here's one article on a new mechanic not currently covered by the wiki, we most definitely need to work on this. — [[Special:Contributions/94.19.200.59|94.19.200.59]] 20:39, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

*[[Masterwork:Titanite]]: I can't find any information about Masterwork's Titanite, either from the wiki or Google.  After mining some, I can only cut it like gems.  Also need a to-do for this: build a crucible to determine if [[Masterwork:Titanium]] can be extracted from titanite. 1 Jan 2016
**Done. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 22:17, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

*[[DF2014:Giant Firefly]]: Just found one in my latest save of 0.42.05, realized a page didn't exist. [[User:ArcaneMusic|ArcaneMusic]] ([[User talk:ArcaneMusic|talk]]) 22:07, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
** I just added a list of all the new creatures (probably contains some errors) on the talk pages of the [[graphic set]] and [[creature]] pages. Most of those probably need to be added as new pages too. In addition the page [[Back_bear_man]] should be deleted (mistyped b-L-ack bear man). In the future, it would be nice to have a script that simply goes through the creature raws and suggests new pages to be created for missing creature entries. [[User:CLA|CLA]] ([[User talk:CLA|talk]]) 15:12, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
***The admins have bots that can create the pages automatically. Part of the hold-up is that the wiki's raws haven't been updated, so new creature pages aren't able to "autofill" with the appropriate details from the raws (and we prefer not to enter all that information manually).--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 20:38, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

*[[Masterwork:Drake]] The article is blank. Since these are a domestic animal that players can grab on embark, there should be some information about them for people new to the mod.
[[User:Apollo Densin|Apollo Densin]] ([[User talk:Apollo Densin|talk]]) 02:00, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

*Version 0.47.1 added [[DF2014:Fort]], [[DF2014:Constructed creatures]], and perhaps [[DF2014:Intelligent undead]]. It also allows to [[DF2014:Mount]] creatures. A lot of other new features deserve their pages. Perhaps we should create a DF2020 version of pages.

I would like a page describing the differences between the 2014 (v0.47) and Steam (v0.50) versions. As a new player, a page outlining these differences would be massively helpful and allow me to read existing documentation and forums more easily, as well as make updates to the v0.50 pages.

Hello, would you be able to create a Talk page with the following question for me?:

"Do children born during fortress mode (or worldgen if you can find out) adopt the dieties of their friends/parents, or are they assigned a random diety? Is this with immediate effect from birth?

Thanks.

Josh"

Thank you! :)



Hello, I'd like to open another talk/discussion page for "Size" (http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2012:Size) with the following question:

Are there any combat benefits to SMALL dwarves?

On one of the pages for an older version of DF it notes that large creatures like elephants have a hard time landing a hit on small creatures like cavies. Would this alleged bonus to-dodge and/or penalty to-hit modifier translate in any meaningul way for smaller dwarves?
:[[DF2012 talk:Size|Done]]. --[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 19:05, 1 January 2014 (UTC)



I'd like to open a talk page for [[DF2012_Talk:Relationships]] with the following note (two paragraphs):


The royalty section is inaccurate. I have a second-generation native-born dwarf in one of my fortresses who has a plentitude of aunts and uncles and listed maternal and paternal grandparents. I'm not sure why having those relationships is only noticed for royalty, but I think it's partially because shorter worlds mean smaller lineages and partially because most forts don't last long enough to see native-born children grow up, get married, and have children of their own. I really don't think there's any reason why extended family would be limited to royalty in any case.

Anyway, I added parents to the Types section, and also grandparents because I hadn't noticed the Royalty section. I'd add Aunts/Uncles but I'm not sure where they fall in on the list, and baby Sarvesh doesn't have any cousins yet.

Hello, I feel that [[DF2012:World_generation]] should cover what goes into history simulation, as it is obviously different to simulation in fortress mode.
However, this is not a matter I am educated on. I would put this request on the page, but I cannot yet create a talk page.

Edits made by 76.116.204.8 were made by me while I was away from school/university on summer/winter vacation at my dad's. I wanted to make a note on [[User talk:76.116.204.8]] claiming attribution for the edits. Additionally, I would like to request the creation of [[Talk:Gem]] so that we can discuss a current bug where the new "cut gem" job never creates a large gem or gem craft (as of 0.50.03). <small>&ndash; [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:ArmokGoB|ArmokGoB]]</small>

* Could there please be a smaller version of the "D for Dwarf" template, maybe one that leaves the text <sup>''joke''</sup> near a sentence, so that we don't have a big-ass banner for little one-off jokes in articles and reserve the "D for Dwarf" template for entire sections or articles?

* Can someone include a discussion about how dwarfs choose which jobs/tasks to do if they have enabled multiple labors and there are jobs in multiple labors on the DF2012:Labor page?  Is it based on which job is created first?  Their skills / traits / attributes?  Which labor they are highest ranked or their titled profession?  This seems to be an issue in the LPs I've been watching early on when there are only the 7 starting dwarves, sometimes extending into the first migration.  I know a solution is to deactivate other labors, or use burrows, but I'm still curious how it works.  Thank you, [[Special:Contributions/108.243.77.185|108.243.77.185]] 03:08, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

* I'd like to create a page under the centralized discussion for a proposal of subnamespaces for stuff like creatures, skills, etc. under a specific version.  Stuff like DF2014:Rat becoming DF2014:Creatures:Rat.  I'm not sure if the software allows this, but I thought I'd say it anyway.

* I'd like to add an image of the 'animated bedroom design' section I added to bedroom design.
