Alright, you can post suggestions and your ideas/labyrinths here. If they are good enough, ill add them into the main page, giving full credit to you and also linking to your other content on Magmawiki.

I read through this earlier and was considering cleaning it up a little bit, altering the diagrams to be a bit more readable and fixed-width, taking the 'troubleshooting' section and transposing it into paragraph form, some grammar, that sort of thing. I'm just giving you a heads up because you appear to want to operate the page yourself - if that's the case you may want to move the content of the page to your user page. --Retro 22:18, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

If you dont mind, can i keep it in its current format? The chat section down below allows readers to easily pin-point what they want to see. It also allows me to post conversations with my friend, the tutorial creator HydroEmperor, so others get to ask him questions. He says he doesnt like dealing with it himself, so he left the burden in my hands. Typical... --"Finally, youre here!" *Squash* 10:10, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
That's the thing - if a page is part of the main wiki, it's open for editing by all. If it's on your user page or an offshoot of it, it's your domain. And right now I'd prefer to reformat it a bit to suit the general style of the wiki more and clean it up. There's no problem with moving it to your user page, incidentally; many users including myself keep guides there. I'm just saying in its current state it needs some touching up, and if you don't want any other wiki users (ie. me) to touch it you should probably move it. It's your call, I'm just giving you a heads-up. --Retro 16:12, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Admin here. I just edited the intro of the article a bit without reading this first - sorry, my bad. (You can "see" the original by hitting the page "history" tab and then comparing my edit with the last - but pls do not revert, just copy/paste the prev. if you want that.)
If you dont mind, can i keep it in its current format?
In a word, no. Retro is 100% correct - if it's in the "main space", then it's public domain, community property. What you want to do is move/copy it to your (currently empty) User page, User:Forsamori, or (as Retro properly suggested) start a secondary user page, for example User:Forsamori/Making a labyrinth, which some users do for pet projects etc. Nothing wrong with leaving it in both locations, your private one and this public one - but if it's here, it needs links! Right now, it's an orphan, and next to useless. Readya later, either way.--Albedo 16:42, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
Feel free to touch it up, I learn by example. Ill note what changes you make and make sure to apply them to any other wikipages I make. --"Finally, youre here!" *Squash* 18:25, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
If someone does that, great - if not, there are so many inaccuracies and misleading statements that this should just get deleted as inappropriate. If an article is going to exist, it needs to fit the wiki style, and if no one is willing to edit it then it should cease existing as is. Just so you know. Also, moving this to 40d namespace.--Albedo 20:44, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
I'll be happy to when I have free time (not for a day or two, I'd guess). We'll see how well it fits wiki/DF quality criteria then, I suppose. --Retro 22:09, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
