Welcome to this wiki! Dwarf Fortress rapidly becomes more complicated, and we're always glad to have new writers.<br>
 
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 <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> after your posts. This can also be inserted with the [[Image:Button sig756222.png]] 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, [[Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki:Community_Portal#We_are_doing_this.21_Let_us_do_it_right.|read and follow the rules.]] They're like a little constitution, except not boring! Really, read them.
 
* Read the [[df:Announcements|site announcements]] regularly, they contain important info.
 
* Check up on the [[df:Manual of Style|manual of style]] occasionally, it's still being written, but will contain important style info soon.
 
* Some pages have version-specific articles, (ie: 40d, 23a...) when creating a redirect from the mainspace to a version specific article, use cv: instead of the version namespace.

Hello. It looks like you're trying to fix the red link problem. Since the original move didn't get all of the articles, there are actually a ton that haven't moved yet. That's being done automatically right now. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 19:20, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

::Yeah you created some redirects that went Mainspace -> 40d -> Mainspace -> 40d. The way to fix these redlinks, is to change the link itself, or click the link, and add a redirect there. The rule to follow (once the bot is done with moving stuff), is this, mainspace should never redirect to anything but cv:, 40d should never redirect to anything but 40d, 40d should basically always link to 40d.

This is pointless and counter productive. If someone wants to see how something worked in 40d, there is a link to the 40d article right on the page. Because of this fact, it's better to have a blank page rather than one with potential misinformation. People will write articles about things they know once they know them, and until that happens we can use the old ones. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 02:41, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Links[edit]

It's good habit to just create the link to the page if you know the link SHOULD be there. It allows other editors to quickly jump to that page and start typing away. :) --Briess 19:56, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Heh, OK, I'll try to remember that. ;) --Tarran

Yeah you created some redirects that went Mainspace -> 40d -> Mainspace -> 40d. The way to fix these redlinks, is to change the link itself, or click the link, and add a redirect there. The rule to follow (once the bot is done with moving stuff), is this, mainspace should never redirect to anything but cv:, 40d should never redirect to anything but 40d, 40d should basically always link to 40d.

Copying over articles from 40d[edit]

This is pointless and counter productive. If someone wants to see how something worked in 40d, there is a link to the 40d article right on the page. Because of this fact, it's better to have a blank page rather than one with potential misinformation. People will write articles about things they know once they know them, and until that happens we can use the old ones. VengefulDonut 02:41, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
