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 this forum thread - most cases seem to result from using Avast Antivirus along with Google Chrome. --Quietust 00:38, 10 February 2012 (UTC)


Upload Button Missing

Hello. I've uploaded [[1]] before, but the upload link seems to have vanished for me. (I'd like to upload a small .exe file which makes the depot tradeing semi-automated so I can link to it from my user page.) What should I do?

Thanks,

---DDR 01:28, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Update: Oh, so it's just down for a few days? OK, I'll be patient. Thanks for all the work you've done here, Emi. :)

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. --Nagidal 17:31, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
I've seen Briss has created the Eagle page, maybe it's so that you can fill it with content. --Nagidal 18:50, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

a namespace just for me?

It says that if i'd like a user page i should post here asking for one. can i have a namespace for me please? under Zazq? Zazq 21:48, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

A namespace is not the same as a user page. I'm almost sure you can't have a namespace just for you, but you can certainly have your own userpage where you can set up your own sandbox. I have created you your userpage, just click on the link on your name in the signature. You can start forging some good articles on your userpage. --Nagidal 23:46, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

UserPage

could i have a page too? to edit and try stuff before posting ... Edit: it is Mohreb by the way ...

v34 Utilities

Can we get a DF2012:Utilities page created?

Giant sponges

Hello, I am new to this wiki and I would like to add articles for giant sponges and giant mosquitoes.

I trust I can just copy-paste the old tags from a DF2010 creature page and change them accordyingly ?

Can I have two pages created?

I'd like to have two pages created for me, please.


1. I'd like my user-page created, so I can do all the other cool stuff that people do with their user-pages.

2. I would also like a whole new mod article made, please. Title it "Modern Warfare: Year 2100" too, please, as well.

EDIT: Username is UristMcHuman. Sorry I forgot that

Interactions.

I would like a page created under 2012:Interaction, please and thank you. Lofn 15:54, 25 February 2012 (UTC) EDIT: a userpage/sandbox would also be very much appreciated, if you find the time.

User page for Darchitect.

I'd like one, if you'd be so kind. Darchitect 20:24, 29 February 2012 (UTC)Darchitect

Favicon Recovery

I notice the favicon seems to have gotten lost somewhere along the way. Since I'm the one who initially made it using the main site logo for reference, I still have a copy sitting around. Here it is, feel free to use it again.

Request for User Page

Hi there, can you please add a user page for me? Thank you. Timtek 11:47, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Request for Confirmed User

I was wondering what I need to do to be able to upload a file. I registered four days ago, and have been waiting to become an "Autoconfirmed user" so that I can add my tileset to the Tileset repository. The "autoconfirmation" never comes, however. Attempting to google the issue said that I should be autoconfirmed after 3 days, which has not occurred. Am I missing something? --Taffer 13:10, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello again! Thanks for the help earlier, and sorry for the second message. Would it be alright if I have a user page? Thank you! --Taffer 18:51, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Cached Special Pages

The wiki currently has $wgMiserMode enabled, resulting in a number of special pages having their results cached (by MediaWiki itself) to reduce server load, but there's no cron job to run /maintenance/updateSpecialPages.php and actually update those pages - as a result, they're all 3 months out of date. I've mentioned this at least 3 times on IRC but it still hasn't been fixed. --Quietust 20:24, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Is the DF2012:Creatures page getting too big for the server?

The Creatures page still needs to be updated with the new creatures for the lakes/rivers but when I try to submit or preview tha page I get a blank page and a submitted update is not visible on the page. Is the page simply too big now, or is there some server side changes that can be made to fix this? Organised chaos 20:18, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

  • If you ask me, the Creatures page is currently being done all wrong - it should only list each creature once and include the relevant biomes, rather than copy/pasting it for every single biome (and introducing errors when one entry has different values from the others). --Quietust 21:00, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
