Hi Emi. I was trying to start a Discussion page in the "Sedimentary" article, but ran into a permission error. Since I am a longtime user, may I please have permission to make new pages? [[User:Coaldiamond|-Coaldiamond]] 20:00, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Emi. I was trying to start a Discussion page in the "Sedimentary" article, but ran into a permission error. Since I am a longtime user, may I please have permission to make new 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. However, I was just able to create [[DF2012 Talk:Sedimentary layer]], but only after several attempts failing from a Permission error. Sometimes it would stop me immediately upon clicking the "Create" tab, and it always seemed to happen when I tried to Show Changes. I'm not really sure why this would happen, unless we're running on multiple servers and the configuration isn't synchronized. Hope this helps. --[[User:Timrem|timrem]] 21:26, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 
:i just encoutered this problem today, I thought it'd be prohibited to create a user discussion page but that did not make sense to me. I hope this issue will be resolved soon. --[[User:Nagidal|Nagidal]] 07:28, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
 
::Yup, I too have noticed some odd inconsistency in the way the wiki may or may not allow you to create a page, with it being allowed after some N number of page reloads. I've mentioned on the [[Dwarf Fortress Wiki:Improvement Drive]] page that the wiki software is several versions out of date, so if we could get it updated, that would hopefully fix this problem. Is [[User_talk:Briess|Briess]] the correct person to contact about this, or is it someone else?  -- [[User:HiEv|<span style="color:#E05858;font-weight:bold;">Hi</span>]][[User talk:HiEv|<span style="color:#C06060;font-weight:bold;">Ev</span>]] 22:48, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 
:::A user will be unable to create any pages (talk or otherwise) until they make 10 edits to the wiki.  There was a configuration error with one of the web servers that has been fixed which was denying create talk page rights to all users. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 23:46, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Another User Page. ==

== 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.

:Hang on a second, I was able to create my user page myself (by simply clicking on the redlink in my signature, and clicking "edit this page".). Not sure if that's a bug or a feature - perhaps the "page creation permitted after 10 edits" rule applies to user pages too? If so, maybe the banner announcement should note that - at present it sort of implies all new user pages need Emi to create them.

== DF2012:Steel discussion page ==
 
 
 
I'd like to (suggest) add to the DF2012:Steel page an actual recipie for repeating steel production at a smelter, since it is not entirely well-described.  I'd add it to the Discussion page there if there was one, but there isn't.  Can one be created?  (making steel at a smelter: Smelt <iron ore>/R, Make Pig Iron Bars/R, Make Steel Bars/R, Make Pig Iron Bars/R, Make Steel Bars/R -=> uses 1 iron ore, 4 flux, 4 or 5 coal to produce 4 Steel bars per cycle) Oh, and if it's not too much trouble, I'd like a User page too.  Thanks,

== 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?

I was doing some research and just noted that, the .40d [page] on Specific heat is largely correct but it's not in the 0.31 nor DF2012 sections.

Forget it, I was the one who didn't know how to use the wiki properly. Fixed the SPEC_HEAT page to have a proper page instead of just redirecting to the temperature page. --[[User:Arkhometha|Arkhometha]] 07:42, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Like many other sections, this is for a user page. Why don't you leave it up to people to create their own user page and this just be for new pages on the wiki [http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Main_Page]? It would be a lot less demanding on you and people can get the feel for writing a page by themselves.

== 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.

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?

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)
