Welcome to the Dwarf Fortress wiki! We're always glad to have another editor fixing things around here.--Loci (talk) 20:07, 3 March 2016 (UTC)


Colon Usage

Regarding this sentence from DF2014:Adamantine:

"Adamantine has extreme material properties: it is nigh weightless (weighing about as much as cork), extremely strong, and razor sharp."

The characteristics following the colon describe/explain the extreme material properties stated in the first part of the sentence. It is not necessary to separate those two closely-related thoughts into two sentences. Wikipedia has more information on proper colon usage.

It is also unnecessary to double-space after a period. That "rule" is an unfortunate hold-over from typewriters; modern computers can properly space sentences automatically. In fact, the wiki software completely disregards extra spaces.--Loci (talk) 20:07, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
