− | Welcome! Use this page to discuss general topics about the Crawl Wiki. If you want to discuss a topic that is specific about playing [[Dungeon Crawl]], please consider discussing it in a relevant wiki page or on a forum (e.g. [https://crawl.develz.org/tavern/ The Tavern]). If you are looking for things to do, check out the [[how to help]] page or the [[current projects]].
| + | This section is for '''community'''-related articles that do not contain factual DCSS information in the standard [[CrawlWiki:About|wiki]] format. |
| | | |
− | Old Discussions:
| |
| | | |
− | *[[/Archive 1]]: August 2012 – June 2013 | + | * [[How to help]] - How [[you]] can help improve this site. |
| | | |
| + | * [[:Category:Diary_of_a_Crawler|Diary of a Crawler]] - Individual diaries of various adventurers. |
| | | |
− | Start a new section on the bottom of this page for each topic.
| + | * [[Tournament|Tournaments]] - Regular events whenever a new main version is released where players can join clans and compete against each other online. |
| | | |
− | ==Backgrounds==
| + | * [[:Category:People|Notable people]] - From the developers to exceptional players. |
− | Just curious why the [[background]] article is separate from the [[list of backgrounds]]. There is probably a good reason for this I'm just foolishly not seeing it. If not, any thoughts about merging the two? One article to reference both doesn't look overly large. [[User:Buddy23Lee|Buddy23Lee]] 01:27, 3 August 2013 (CEST)

− | :No reason at all! At least no substantial one. A lot of the original site framework has just stuck around due to being grandfathered in, and if it looks unreasonable, there is a good (but not 100%) chance that it's just been overlooked by others all this time. I think merging those two tiny pages makes sense, with [[List of backgrounds]] being turned into a redirect to [[Backgrounds#List of Backgrounds]]. Knock yourself out BL. --[[User:MoogleDan|MoogleDan]] 02:09, 3 August 2013 (CEST)
| + | * [[Websites]] - For DCSS content outside of this wiki. |
| | | |
− | ::Thanks MoogleDan. I just wanted to make sure those types of merges aren't too controversial. I'm still trying to figure out if this wiki is better off with fewer, more centralized articles, or a larger number of smaller, more specific articles. Maybe I'm just overthinking things?

− | ==MediaWiki engine upgrade and new extensions==
| + | See the [[CrawlWiki_talk:Community_portal|Discussion]] page for general community talk about and around the wiki. |
− | Yesterday our server administrator ([[User:Epyon]]) upgraded our version of MediaWiki, the software that runs Crawl Wiki. We now have some new extensions including Parser Functions, Pipe Escape, Scribundo and Semantic MediaWiki. Other new stuff can be seen at [[Special:Version]]. --[[User:Flun|Flun]] ([[User talk:Flun|talk]]) 15:31, 15 August 2013 (CEST)

| + | [[Category:Community]] |

− | The [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php Cite] extension has also been added. This allows us to use the <nowiki><ref> and <references /></nowiki> tag for easier citing. --[[User:Flun|Flun]] ([[User talk:Flun|talk]]) 14:49, 16 August 2013 (CEST)

− | ==Item articles reconciliation==
| |
− | | |
− | I was thinking of trying to merge [[Item]] with [[Items]] as they are obviously trying to describe the same thing. Does anyone care if I change [[Items]] into a redirect of [[Item]]? It's a decent length article, but looks like it's just copy & pasted content at present. --[[User:Buddy23Lee|Buddy23Lee]] ([[User talk:Buddy23Lee|talk]]) 21:36, 19 August 2013 (CEST)
