In my opinion, the Titan article should be the default page for both Titans ( as in, the overland big boys ) as well as a subarticle on the same page for Forgotten Beasts, since Forgotten Beasts are just basically subterranean Titans.

Revision as of 15:05, 3 April 2010

There's a chance that default humanoid titans as we know them might cease to exist in DF 2010, if that happens, Titan should be edited to accomodate info on the old titans and the new ones, instead of keeping a page for something that doesn't exist in the game anymore.

No, actually it shouldn't. What will happen is this:
  • In the 40d namespace, the existing "titan" article, 40d:titan, will remain as is, untouched - still valid and accurate as it stands for this version.
  • A new article will be created for "( newversion# ):titan", to be forever consistent with all other newversion# articles.*
  • The Search term "titan" will redirect to "cv:titan", which it does now, so no edit necessary there. ("cv" = "current version", so "titan" redirects to 40d now, and will redirect to the next version as soon as we have that one up and running.*)
That's how it's going to work with many, many articles that share names but not details between the present version and the one we might have within a week.
(* As a side note/reminder, all users should be conscious that there will be no version called "DF2010" - it will have a significant reference number like "40d" or "23a" or whatever, but exactly what that number will be we won't know until Toady tells us, which might not be until the release itself.)
