Fixed sliver barb on the [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/File:Textile-industry-flowchart.PNG textile flowchart]. thanks for pointing that out --[[User:Agm|Agm]] ([[User talk:Agm|talk]]) 00:21, 12 November 2017 (UTC)
 
  
 
Should be fixed now.  Thanks for the heads up. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 20:40, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

:: No, I'm not particularly fond of that design (I'm more of an organic development kind of fellow), but I do like to know why things that might have been good yesterday are deleted today, without any apparent reason (even in the changelog).

:: Also, I did read that post fully (it's even in my userpage due to the relevance). I would have to argue that just opening space by mining costs FPS. What does cost is, as I think you mentioned, the increased pathing calculations that results from the open space. That research also came a bit before the current DF2012 according to the [[Release information]] page. This being said, my main concern about that part is that FPS death is a diagonal subject to Exploratory mining and would deserve a section of its own, if enough relevant information is present in the page.--[[User:Doktoro Reichard|Doktoro Reichard]] ([[User talk:Doktoro Reichard|talk]]) 22:33, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

== <gallery> ==
 
 
The reason [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=DF2012:Forgotten_beast&diff=197254&oldid=197231 this] didn't work is because parser tags (like &lt;gallery> and &lt;pre>) don't treat their content as wiki markup. The easiest way around this is to use <nowiki>{{#tag:}}</nowiki>, which passes its (parsed) arguments to a tag:
 
<pre>{{#tag:gallery| {{/gallery}} }}</pre>
 
Also, nice work with the random images and galleries – using pipes is a lot cleaner than using Regexfunctions (which I apparently hit the limit on when redoing the old gallery). &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 16:52, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 
 
:Ah, that makes sense. I think I'll leave the forgotten beast page the way it is though--it's already quite long, and the gallery works well enough as a linked subpage. My goal was to add random images to the forgotten beast page, but when I researched the Sg template I discovered it was only a single-purpose design. Rather than copy it and create another single-purpose template, I decided to generalize it. Luckily the syntax for images and galleries is interchangeable, so I was able to simplify the code and take the images directly from galleries. The random images don't seem to rotate very often (probably the result of server caching), but other than that they seem to work. Hopefully I can find more great artwork on the forums to spruce up the wiki. On the topic of images, I think the main page gallery could stand to be cleaned up a bit; one long string of text does not translate well to a thumbnail. Some could be cropped to a more compelling image (like the "attend party" one has been); others may require reformating or replacement.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 19:53, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 
 
::Purging should usually update the image - I use [[User:Lethosor/purge_link.js|this script]] to add a menu option that does this to the navigation bar (under the move/watch menu). I agree that some of the captions need to be shortened - I like the fact that they're more visible than before, but some of them end up being too long when displayed (particularly for narrow images, like [[:File:Cacamefight.gif]]). &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 20:08, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
 
 
== Plant raw pages ==
 
 
Not sure if you noticed, but QuietBot already created DF2014 plant raw pages (at least trees, possibly more) - see [[DF2014:Orange tree/raw]], for example. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 01:26, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 
 
:Wish I had caught that before I created all those duplicates. We seem to have a naming issue (which is carried over from the raws): [[DF2014:Alder/raw]] vs [[DF2014:Abaca tree/raw]], [[DF2014:pineapple/raw]] vs [[DF2014:Watermelon vine/raw]] vs. [[DF2014:Raspberry bush/raw]] vs. [[DF2014:Tomato plant/raw]], etc. Sorry for the mess; feel free to remove the unnecessary pages and clean it up however you prefer.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 02:00, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 
 
::FWIW, I prefer the shorter names. You can inline-wikilink [[cherry]] in a number of different ways ([[cherry]] wood, [[cherry]] fruit, [[cherry]] wine, etc.), however [[cherry tree]] is significantly less accommodating ([[cherry tree]] wood, [[cherry tree]] wine? [[cherry tree|cherry wine]]?). Adding the extra descriptors doesn't really gain us anything unless we want a separate page for cherries-as-a-fruit.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 02:21, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 
:::For all of the plant raw pages, I used the plant's [NAME:foo] (or [ALL_NAMES:bar]) token; thus, the inconsistency comes from Toady himself. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] ([[User talk:Quietust|talk]]) 13:15, 22 July 2014 (UTC)
 
 
:I went ahead and finished creating the stub pages for the new trees.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 16:22, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
 
 
== #param ==
 
 
I'm curious about your [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Template:Plantlookup&diff=next&oldid=215972 series of edits] to [[Template:Plantlookup]] - is there a problem with {{<nowiki/>#param}}? &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 21:26, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 
 
:I was trying to get <nowiki>{{#ifeq:{{{wiki|no}}}|no|_A_|_B_}}</nowiki> to work [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Template:Crop/DF2014&curid=34609&diff=215974&oldid=215969 here]. I would expect that if the wiki parameter is not defined then this would return _A_; instead it returns _B_. I was modifying the #param call to check if it was returning a defined value given undefined inputs. (My results are inconclusive since I later realized someone had added a [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Template:Plantlookup/DF2014&diff=prev&oldid=215976 redundant layer of #param processing].)--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 21:44, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 
 
::Oh, right. The {{{arg|default}}} syntax only returns "default" if arg isn't passed at all - if it's passed to the template with an empty value, that will expand to an empty string instead (I think #param behaves the same way). Making the "wiki" parameter default to "no" in [[Template:Plantlookup/DF2014]] should work. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 02:58, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
 
 
== New creatures ==
 
 
Are you adding/updating these creature pages with a script/bot/whatever or manually? I'm asking because the [[Graphic_set#Creatures|graphic set]], [[Tileset#Creatures|tileset]], and [[Creature]] pages still need to be updated with the new creatures as well.
 
Is there an easy way to pull these from the raws automatically? [[User:CLA|CLA]] ([[User talk:CLA|talk]]) 20:55, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 
 
:I wrote a perl script to do the grunt work. I'll see about updating those pages as well...--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 21:00, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 
 
::If you'd like to make a bot account, I can give it the bot flag so it doesn't clutter up recent changes (as long as you pass ``bot=true`` when editing pages, that is). &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 22:42, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 
 
:::Thanks for the offer, but [[User:Lightfoot|Lightfoot]] already made all the new pages. I'm just crunching the raws to plug into pages which have long lists of creatures.--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 23:27, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 
::''Much'' appreciated. Thank you, Loci.[[User:CLA|CLA]] ([[User talk:CLA|talk]]) 10:19, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 
 
== v0.43.05 raws ==
 
 
0.43.05 raws should be up now. (It's been a while since you mentioned this and since you've been active, so I thought I'd reply here too.) &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 01:44, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

== Multiple redirects leads to incorrect namespace ==
 
 
Discussion here: [[Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki_talk:Centralized_Discussion#Solution_for_this]] [[User:Brightgalrs|Brightgalrs]] ([[User talk:Brightgalrs|talk]]) 10:49, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 
 
== Discussion in, supposedly, proper context... ==
 
 
...because context does matter.
 
 
With all my attempts to correct the following:
 
 
"Murky pools won't be shown on the [[embark|embark screen]], but they are '''a ubiquitous feature'''"
 
 
...for some sort of highly, blatantly obvious spelling/grammar mistake, that honestly needed (or so I thought) no edit summary to not be correct and stay correct, but for your semi-irrelevant vomiting about "an usage" I wouldn't find myself in the bind I now do. (Yes, its a mistake to me, hence the corrections in the first place) The question now becomes: How to proceed ''other than leaving it alone'' (as you seem to have insinuated with your "an usage" interjection on my talk page, unfortunately)?  I mean, yeah, SPAG, corrected thus:  "Murky pools won't be shown on the [[embark|embark screen]], but they are '''an ubiquitous feature'''" sets off my personal annoyances (Aspergers, frankly) a good deal less, but..
 
 
...*shrug* What say you? [[User:Silverwing235|Silverwing235]] ([[User talk:Silverwing235|talk]]) 18:50, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 
 
== Appreciation ==
 
I've recently had an unfortunate reason to look at your contribs, and I think it's too bad for the wiki's sake that you're not still an active editor. '''—'''[[User:Sriefmadsakzro|'''οɼѕаk''']] 23:52, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
