Since we request that you try to follow our wiki's standards, we've made a list of basic guidelines to follow. Note that '''this is a template''', so some may not apply to you.<br>
+
== Usage ==
* To let us know who you are, please sign your posts on discussion pages by typing "<nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>" after your posts. This can also be inserted with the [[Image:Button sig756222.png]] button if JavaScript is enabled.
 
* Avoid making a dozen small edits to a page, instead making one large edit. This makes the history of the page a lot easier to read and avoids cluttering the Recent changes page.
 
* When making comments on a talk page, if you are replying to a comment, use one more indent than the comment you are replying to. Since indents are created with :'s at the beginning of line, you'd use ::::: at the beginning if you were replying to a 4-indent comment. Put an empty line between comments by others and you but not in the middle of your own comment.
 
* Most importantly, [[DwarfFortressWiki:Community_Portal#We_are_doing_this.21_Let_us_do_it_right.|read and follow the rules.]]<noinclude>

Welcome to the Dwarf Fortress Wiki, {{subst:PAGENAME}}! Here are some helpful links to get you started:

  • If you're new to editing wikis, the Help page has some useful technical information.
  • The Community portal has a collection of rules, many of them unique to this wiki. Rule G, Rule N, and Rule Z are three of the more important ones to keep in mind.
  • The announcements (usually) contain current, important information—be sure to check them periodically.
  • Special:RecentChanges shows all of the recent activity on the wiki. There isn't always a lot going on, but feel free to take a look and see what's happening around the wiki. (The "diff" link on the left shows what changed in an edit.)
  • See DF:Versions for an explanation of namespaces (e.g. "Main") and redirects on this wiki.
  • Help:Useful templates lists some commonly-used templates available on this wiki.
