Given how central DFHack has become to the user experience of many users, and the frequency at which hacks/exploits/bugfixes involving it pop up in the wiki, I think there should be a special template for content involving DFHack, '''in adddition''' to the one used for mods. This way, new players can make the distinction between "I have to edit a few files to do this" and "I have to download a third party program and run scripts to do this". One is much less daunting than the others, and the players are better informed.

Given how central DFHack has become to the user experience of many users, and the frequency at which hacks/exploits/bugfixes involving it pop up in the wiki, I think there should be a special template for content involving DFHack, in adddition to the one used for mods. This way, new players can make the distinction between "I have to edit a few files to do this" and "I have to download a third party program and run scripts to do this". One is much less daunting than the others, and the players are better informed. Severedicks (talk) 11:25, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
- With the prevalence of the LNP, I imagine most new players find simple DFHack tweaks *easier* than editing the raws--removing aquifers is a prime example (though the LNP makes it easier still with a simple checkbox in the launcher). The {{mod}} template exists primarily to differentiate non-standard content; since most references to DFHack are short and directly linked to the DFHack article, I'm not convinced that an additional template would be helpful. Can you cite a few pages that you feel would benefit from such a template?--Loci (talk) 17:40, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
