===Vandalization===
 
Hi, was browsing the wiki when I noticed some articles defaced with images of Osama Bin Laden and the n-word. I found a couple offending templates that were edited to contain the image and blanked the templates. Apologies for not simply reverting the edits.
 
 
===Default tile===
 
If you happen accross the default values for PICKED_TILE and PICKED_COLOR, stick them into
 
[[Template:Plantlookup/0]]. Currently using a black on black question mark. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] ([[User talk:VengefulDonut|talk]]) 17:59, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 
*They're already documented on [[Plant token]] - 231 (τ) and 2:0:0 (dark green). --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] ([[User talk:Quietust|talk]]) 21:36, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
 
::It's corrected now. Thanks. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] ([[User talk:VengefulDonut|talk]]) 12:50, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
 
 
===Raw data===
 
 
I noticed something strange. The contents of [[template:gamedata]] sometimes don't match the contents of the corresponding raw page. See [[Olm man]] and [[Olm man/raw]]. What's up with that? Also, an extra line is showing up in the biome section of the creature info for subterranean creatures (like the [[Olm man]]). I poked around a bit and found <nowiki>{{#switch: {{NAMESPACE}}| ...}}</nowiki> inside of [[Template:BiomeToken]] with an older namespace setup, but I haven't touched it so I'm not sure if that's the cause. (The error isn't present on Materwork: pages).
 
 
It's cool that you got this stuff to work so well, though. :) [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] ([[User talk:VengefulDonut|talk]]) 03:54, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 
:The first thing you mentioned is because most/all /raw pages expand creature variations. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 04:00, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 
::But [[template:gamedata]]  transcludes <nowiki>{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/raw</nowiki>. It seems really strange to me that the unexpanded version is being displayed in the main article. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] ([[User talk:VengefulDonut|talk]]) 04:13, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 
:::Oh, I see it now. <nowiki>{{{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/raw|1}}</nowiki> produces the unexpanded version. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] ([[User talk:VengefulDonut|talk]]) 04:17, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 
 
===Redirect extension===
 
You can look at the code [https://github.com/illideristudios/dfwikifiles/pull/12 here], if you're interested. I'm planning on migrating it to a public repo as soon as I can (and getting rid of the commented-out echo statements), but let me know if you see any problems that I missed. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 01:59, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
 
 
===Release notes===
 
Thanks for filling in the pages I left blank. (I copied the list from the "Older versions" page and used a [https://gist.github.com/lethosor/9512967 script] to convert them to wikitext, which is why I missed the unavailable releases from the 23a series.) One question: Where are you getting the release notes for releases like [[23a:Release information/0.21.104.21b‎|this one]]? I can't seem to find them on the devlog or the DF announcements board. &mdash;[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 18:22, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 
*If you're referring to the Toady One quote, I got it from "release notes.txt"; if you're referring to the individual changes, I reconstructed them from the old devlog entries between releases. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] ([[User talk:Quietust|talk]]) 18:29, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 
 
===Edition reverted===
 
Hi. I made an edition some minutes ago, intending to also upload an image to it, but when I was about to fix the issue, I saw you have reverted my Edition. Why? --[[User:Envite|Envite]] ([[User talk:Envite|talk]]) 22:09, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 
:Mainly because the image link was broken, and it looked like it may have been a test edit of some sort (as is quite common on Wikipedia). --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] ([[User talk:Quietust|talk]]) 22:10, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 
::Hope it is right now. I just needed some minutes more to fix it :) --[[User:Envite|Envite]] ([[User talk:Envite|talk]]) 22:25, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 
 
===EXE patches===
 
I would like to use the miscarriage buxfix thats on your userpage, how can I apply it? I can use binpatch, however I tried looking up data on its structure and the only suitable one was on wikipedia which didnt cover HEX patching. <br />{{User:Latias1290/Sig/src|16:30|January 25, 2014}}
 
:Open dwarfort.exe in a hex-editor, then go to each address listed in the patch, check that the original values match, then replace them with the new values. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] ([[User talk:Quietust|talk]]) 14:19, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
 
 
===large number of new accounts - Spam?===
 
I "determined" ;) that you are an admin and since I'm not sure where to report it: Recent changes implies a large number of new bot-created accounts in the last days. Preparation for a spam avalanche? Should something be done about it? If you're the wrong guy to ask, would you mind forwarding it to the right place? --[[User:2013|2013]] 18:02, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
 
 
=== Parser issue ===
 
Hey Quietust, little question for you. I have put DFRawFunctions into extensions folder of mediawiki. Then installed both php files in LocalSettings.php. Yet <nowiki>{{#df_raw}}</nowiki> gives  "Not found!", being unable to find the file. Are "raws" meant to be placed in special location? Or maybe few lines are to be added in LocalSettings.php?
 
<br/>P.S. Question is not related to english wiki but russian one. --[[User:Asva|Asva]] ([[User talk:Asva|talk]]) 06:11, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
 
 
:You need to add this line to <code>LocalSettings.php</code>:
 
$wgDFRawEnableDisk = true;

::I made another function on github and sent a pull request. Will it be implemented into DFwiki? --[[User:Asva|Asva]] ([[User talk:Asva|talk]]) 09:21, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Do you happen to have the text files used to generate the DF2012 raw pages (the format you mentioned on [[User talk:J. d'Orc]])? I was thinking of making similar files for Masterwork pages, and I wanted to make sure I was formatting them correctly. --[[User:Lethosor|<span style="color:#074">Lethosor</span>]] ([[User talk:Lethosor|<span style="color:#092">talk</span>]]) 18:15, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

:Sample data:
 
toad DF2012:creature_amphibians.txt creature CREATURE TOAD
 
worm DF2012:creature_annelids.txt creature CREATURE WORM
 
blue jay DF2012:creature_birds.txt creature CREATURE BIRD_BLUEJAY
 
cardinal DF2012:creature_birds.txt creature CREATURE BIRD_CARDINAL
 
penguin man DF2012:creature_birds.txt creature CREATURE PENGUIN MAN DF2012:c_variation_default.txt
 
giant penguin DF2012:creature_birds.txt creature CREATURE BIRD_PENGUIN_GIANT DF2012:c_variation_default.txt
 
peregrine falcon man DF2012:creature_birds.txt creature CREATURE PEREGRINE FALCON MAN DF2012:c_variation_default.txt
 
:Column 1 is the page name, column 2 is the raw file that contains it, column 3 is what goes into the category name (e.g. "Category:DF2012:Creature raw pages"), column 4 is the object type (should always be CREATURE here), column 5 is the creature's ID token, and column 6 (optional) is the file that contains all of the variations used by the creature. Note that some of the Masterwork creatures will probably require '''multiple''' creature variation files - for those, you should specify the variation files separated by a "|" character. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] ([[User talk:Quietust|talk]]) 21:39, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

:::The "soldiers don't eat/drink while stationed" bug causes soldiers to just get increasingly hungry/thirsty when on patrol duty, and hungry/thirsty dwarves get skill penalties and are presumably more likely to get injured. I forgot about the "dropoff inaccessible spam" one, though I was afflicted with the "item inaccessible" variant (when the stockpile is inside the burrow but the item isn't), and I also find the economic obsidian bug mildly irritating (though you only need to fix it once in the entire lifetime of your fortress). I don't consider the "hauling bins" and "distant stones" ones to be real bugs, just design flaws (which I'm pretty sure were also present in 40d and probably even 23a). Of course, I've just now remembered another very irritating issue: multiple soldiers being assigned the same piece of equipment, usually a named item. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 00:07, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

::::That is funny.  So many of the "bugs" influence the way I play the game. Because of the bugs, I gave up on burrows being useful. Thus all the bugs with burrows don't bother me.  The concept is really powerful, but how to implement it without the bugs hobbling it! I also don't use most fo the military options (like food/water, patrol duties, stations) and instead have train/no train schedules.  I find it funny when dwarfs carry around 3 weapons, or the enraged badgers.  I agree the distant stones and hauling bins are design flaws, but they are annoying when you notice a bunch of dwarves traverse 80 Z levels to take something to a bin, only to arrive and find the bin has been now moved to 80Z levels down! It would also be nice to be able to save military uniforms as well (like embark profiles).  Does the fact that the order of items in the trade item list changes bother you or have you figured out a workaround for that?--[[User:Kwieland|Kwieland]] 16:25, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

=== v0.44.02 Raws Update ===
 
::Hi!
 
 
::I'm not sure if this bot is still maintained, or if you're still accepting requests, but I figured I might as well give it a shot. Although the diff between the raws of v0.43.05 and v0.44.02 is minuscule, it's still a sizable enough number of changes to warrant some form of automation. Additionally, some of the Raws (like [[DF2014:Dog/raw|dogs]]) haven't been updated since 2014.
 
 
::If you're still accepting requests, I'd like to request a general raws update throughout the wiki. If this isn't feasible, or you'd rather it be handled manually, no problem.
 
 
:: Thank you!
