== Empty DF:2012 Articles ==

Hello, I'd like to offer a few suggestions:
* Could the bot which went through and replaced all the v0.31 article links with DF:2012 links be modified to actually create those articles with a <nowiki>{{av}}</nowiki> template inserted, so that users can reference an older version easily while understanding that it could be outdated?
* Could a bot be created to go through all the current dead links and create those articles and place a <nowiki>{{av}}</nowiki> template within them?
* Failing that, I'd be willing to volunteer for this; I understand that I should talk to you for article creation. In that case, would I have to present you with a list of articles to be created?

== Spanish translation ==

Hello! I'm a Spanish player of this game and I would like to begin the translation of this wiki into Spanish. I hope you like the idea! Regards.



== PROBLEM ==
since you "upgraded" the wiki, sometimes when i try to load a page, any kind of page in the wiki, instead of loading the page, my browser (chrome) starts downloading a file like this:    DF2010-Magma.gz
the file never ends downloading and it contains nothing, so i dont know whats the deal with that, sometime is loads teh page as usual
*Take a look at [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=96229.0 this forum thread] - most cases seem to result from using Avast Antivirus along with Google Chrome. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 00:38, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

== Eagles ==

Why can't I create new pages? I want to create a page about normal eagles.

: This wiki is going through a lot now. New name space for the latest DF version has been created and articles are copied to it, as far as they are still valid for the new version. Also this wiki's cluster size has been increased by two new servers and many things around it are being configured. So I think the admins just prohibited new article creation for a while until they sort things out. --[[User:Nagidal|Nagidal]] 17:31, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

== Permission to make new Discussion pages? ==

:It seems like the wiki is a bit buggy in this regard. On [[Special:ListGroupRights]], only Administrators have the "createtalk" permission, which seems to be required to create talk pages.

== Stockpile setting info ==

Here's something I've been thinking to add to the wiki for a couple of months now, but am not really sure what would be the best way to do it. I often set up fairly specialized stockpiles. For instance a stockpile only for seeds, another one for picks, and yet another only for empty bags (but not chests). When I was new to the game I did not know how to do these things. I expected to find the info how to set up a stockpile just for one kind of an item in the item's respective wiki page. Sometimes I was lucky, sometimes not.

Most furnitures have a piece of text about such stockpile setting somewhere in the article or at least a hint, e.g. in [[Cage]]s you can read that "Cages are stored on the Animal Stockpile." In [[Seed]]s, however, there's nothing that tells you that they are in the Food stockpile, and the [[Pick]] page redirects to [[Equipment]] which doesn't say anything about a stockpile for picks either.

Let's see an example of a stockpile setting info I'd like to see about bags:

: Stockpile of Bags: Furniture > Types > boxes and bags. Disable Stone/Clay and Metal. Restrict Other Materials to cloth, leather, silk, yarn."

I'll probably find a better way to express it, I'll have to see that it looks more or less the same across wiki pages, too.

Three ways how to add this information to the wiki came to my mind, all have their pros and cons:

: '''1.''' A stockpile setting overview page. Basically a table of all the stockpile categories, subcategories, and item entries from the stockpile setting page ({{k|p}}-{{k|t}}) and tell the users to find (Ctrl-F) the item somewhere on the page.
:: '''Pro:''' Done quickly.
:: '''Con:''' I assume people would rather expect to find the stockpile setting info in the item's dedicated page and would not think of looking for it in a stockpile setting page. Also, users should not be bothered with a search in page.

: '''2.''' Adding a "Stockpile" section to the <nowiki>{{furniture}}</nowiki> float, where people could see how to set it up.
:: '''Pro:''' Stockpile setting would be found extremely easily.
:: '''Con:''' No solution for non-furniture items.
:: '''Con:''' Would contain too much text in some cases (e.g. for bags you need to restrict the material to differentiate them from coffers or chests).

: '''3.''' Each item which can have its individual stockpile could have its own wiki page with a "Stockpile setting" section (or maybe a <nowiki>{{stockpile}}</nowiki> float?) where you could see this kind of information.
:: '''Pro:''' Stockpile setting would be found easily. People would soon realize that every item which can have a dedicated stockpile has its own wiki page which has a section where they find the stockpile setting.
:: '''Con:''' Requires many new pages to be created, but most of them would not contain much other information except for how to set an individual stockpile for them.  Here I'm thinking of pages like [[Plump helmet spawn]], [[Hood]], [[Raw skin]].

Personally, I would go with solution '''3'''. I see that it is unnecessary to have an individual wiki page for each of the hundreds of animal species you can see listed in the Animal stockpile. Yet I think we should differentiate all the non-animal items as deep as [[skull]] is in the refuse stockpile, or each individual weapon is in the weapon stockpile.

So what do you guys think? Do you have any other ideas how and where to save this stockpile setting information in the wiki? Would you mind me starting to add a "Stockpile settings" section to the items' pages and creating new pages where there are redirects or no pages? I admit it would look a bit weird if there were a page about an item but no other info on it except for a stockpile setting. On the other hand this could motivate other active users to add something more.

== need discussion page for DF2012:Container ==

This text seems inaccurate with 2012 on the DF2012:Container page: (any of these 4 container types can be used to satisfy the "Needs: X Chests" requirement for nobles).

There is no Discussion page for Containers. I'm a fairly inexperienced player and just got my first Mayor who demanded two chests and a cabinet. Based on the above text I made three rock cabinets and after placing them it did not satisfy the 2 chests requirement. When I made two metal chests and placed them the requirement was met.

Since there's no discussion page, should I just edit the page and remove that line or put a note next to it that says this may not be accurate?

:IIRC, it is done this way because the spambots like to auto-create user pages for their spam. --[[User:UristDaVinci|UristDaVinci]] 05:14, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

== I have an error report ==

In the ingame Manual for Dwarf Fortress, in '''The Manual: Accounts''' it says 'stop' instead of 'shop'.

I didn't know whom to report this typo, so I'm posting here. Is this OK? <small>&ndash; [[template:unsigned|unsigned]] comment by [[User:89.110.240.186|89.110.240.186]]</small>

:Thanks. [http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/ Dwarf Fortress bug tracker] is generally a good place to post those. --[[User:Lethosor|Lethosor]] 19:04, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

== New page request (and/or allow me to create pages) ==

Could I please have the http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Special:Upload&wpDestFile=Tree-kills-woodcutter.png page created?  I'm trying to add a picture to http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Wood_cutter (unless there's a better way?)

:I figured out (after RTFM) that I just had to made three edits to upload files, so that's cool now.  However, what are requirements for getting permissions to create pages?

:: They should be the same (since uploading a file requires permission to create a page). &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 13:57, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

== Using This Wiki In My App ==

Hi Emi, was wondering if its okay for me to use data from this wiki in my android wiki app (which would be called Dwarf Fortress Wiki)? If anything, I can include copyright notes or any other required thing.
Thanks!
:Hey, to the extent that it can be (e.g. game data files are a notable exception) everything on the wiki is covered under the GNU FDL. As long as you follow that license, you can generally use any content from this website (again, there are some exceptions, and usually they are noted). However, please do not call the app "Dwarf Fortress Wiki", since I'd like to avoid confusion as to how closely the app is related to the wiki.

== Wiki is being messed with ==

Left this in the forums, but figure I'll leave it here too in case you check this more often:

Looks like someone is messing with the wiki. Several pages are displaying a floating box with the text "I HATE N****RS" and several other pages have the goatse image edited in at the top. I haven't figured out how to block the float box with uBlock yet, but I'm not very good at html, so. Ya might want to freeze edits to the wiki for a minute.

(reply?) Hi Emi, I'm a random person who happened to see that the wiki was being vandalised and was looking for a place to report it / make it aware to moderators. I saw that you banned the first person, but then I noticed a series of new accounts created shortly after That first one was banned. They were all created within a few minutes of eachother, which I saw in the account creation logs page. So just wanted make you aware of that in case you didn't see that as well. Sorry If I'm not supposed to be editing other peoples talk page?
:I did notice that, I’m keeping an eye on them. :) And this is exactly what talk pages are for! [[user:Emi|<span style="color:#8a4e4e">Emi</span>]] [[user_talk:Emi|<span style="color:#6a3e4e">[T]</span>]] 00:16, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Hey Emi. I highly recommend [[mediawikiwiki:Manual:RevisionDelete|enabling RevisionDelete]] if it isn't already and [[mediawikiwiki:Help:RevisionDelete|hide the edits]] made by the individual. This would prevent regular users and the public from having access to the offensive texts through the history or recent changes pages. - [[User:Doorkeeper|Doorkeeper]] 11:49, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
:Looks like it's already being looked into on discord. Sorry - [[User:Doorkeeper|Doorkeeper]] 11:59, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
