| − | 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)

| − | | |
| − | 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)

| − | Just curious, are we still planning to open up the registrations/edits? And if so, in which form? --[[User:Lokkij|Lokkij]] ([[User talk:Lokkij|talk]]) 00:00, 21 August 2013 (CEST)

| − | One thing we could try is to create an account (called Anonymous or AnonymousUser) with a public password that would be available in the main page. I don't know if it will work, but if it doesn't it should be easy to cancel that account, or change its password and announce the new password in a less visible place. --[[User:CommanderC|CommanderC]] ([[User talk:CommanderC|talk]]) 01:09, 1 April 2014 (CEST)

| − | == Joining a clan in tournament ==
| |
| − | I'm considering to join a clan leader in tournament 0.13. Possible up to 19th Octobre says the online rule page. I'm not knowing anyone (beyond the available stats at http://dobrazupa.org/tournament/0.13/players/). Is it enough to write the clan captain's name in my rc file? Will he perceive that? Are there other ways to ask someone suitable in the list. Naturally I'm quite modest and won't ask a team that is in the top ten of clans. -- [[User:Bwijn|Bwijn]] ([[User talk:Bwijn|talk]]) 19:11, 18 October 2013 (CEST)
| |
| − | :Yep! Write it like the [http://dobrazupa.org/rcfiles/crawl-0.13/Flun.rc first line in my rc] --[[User:Flun|Flun]] ([[User talk:Flun|talk]]) 00:03, 19 October 2013 (CEST)
| |
| − | ::I chose Clan *Silence of the Lamias* and wrote # Teamcaptain Drone in my rc file. Just like I remembered of last year. If I did copy/adapt your first line I would make myeself a team captain, isn't it? -- [[User:Bwijn|Bwijn]] ([[User talk:Bwijn|talk]]) 08:48, 19 October 2013 (CEST)

| − | ::: Yep, [http://dobrazupa.org/tournament/0.13/clans/drone.html here] is your clan profile.--[[User:Flun|Flun]] ([[User talk:Flun|talk]]) 14:46, 19 October 2013 (CEST)

| − | == new version pictures' repository ==
| |
| − | Where would I have to look for the [[decks]] icon images? They are missing a while now. Developers' image (new version) repository is where? - BTW this Community portal page could have another archivising clean up, isn't it? It's filled with old stuff. -- [[User:Bwijn|Bwijn]] ([[User talk:Bwijn|talk]]) 20:28, 4 November 2013 (CET)

| − | : In the [http://crawl.develz.org/wordpress/downloads source code]. They are created dynamically by combining several images in the [http://git.develz.org/?p=crawl.git;a=tree;f=crawl-ref/source/rltiles/item/misc;h=e283f8fe12bdc49d3360d5f33c537b25597da8f5;hb=refs/heads/stone_soup-0.13 source/rltiles/item/misc] folder. --[[User:CommanderC|CommanderC]] ([[User talk:CommanderC|talk]]) 21:15, 4 November 2013 (CET)

| − | ::Thank you for the location. I downloaded the pictures under "raw". But they seem to give only the deck type specific symbols. The deck frame picture is not included. - Further on I found out: the <nowiki>[[Template:Item]]</nowiki> is the right one. There you find the lines: "! align="left" | Icon | [[File:{{lc:{{PAGENAME}}.png}}|32px]]". I'm not sure how to insert the correct pagename.png. Please help out experienced operators! -- [[User:Bwijn|Bwijn]] ([[User talk:Bwijn|talk]]) 22:15, 4 November 2013 (CET)

| − | :::There are three base images. One for each kind of deck: plain (misc_deck.png), ornate (misc_deck_rare.png), and legendary (misc_deck_legendary.png). I have used the plain one. The way to obtain the correct names was clicking the red links. --[[User:CommanderC|CommanderC]] ([[User talk:CommanderC|talk]]) 23:46, 4 November 2013 (CET)

| − | == DECj guide ==

| − | Hi everyone! I'm new here, but I'd like to share my playing experience, so I've made this guide: [[MistyMan's Deep Elf Conjurer of Vehumet guide]].

| − | == Development stop? ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | I noticed that since 26 february 2014 no new 0.14a trunk versions have been published. Anybody of you who knows background? Has development completely stoped? Major devel team breakdown? Creative timeout only? -- [[User:Bwijn|Bwijn]] ([[User talk:Bwijn|talk]]) 12:08, 15 March 2014 (CET)

| − | :CDO was migrated to new servers starting then, and still is in the process of being migrated. I'm guessing that putting out nightly builds is something that is still being migrated. It also may be a lower priority, since the stable release of 0.14 is coming up soon (so 0.14a is about to branch off into 0.15 and 0.14 anyway). But development is definitely [https://gitorious.org/crawl/crawl/activities still ongoing], and I imagine that if you play online you can get access to the latest trunk. -[[User:Ion frigate|Ion frigate]] ([[User talk:Ion frigate|talk]]) 16:12, 15 March 2014 (CET)

| − | ::Thank you, Ion! Looking up for the new 0.14 stable today was a disappointment. The official Download section tells: "Latest stable release 0.13.2"! But the changelog that can be found is: "Stone Soup 0.13.1 (20131128)". And still no new trunk versions since 26 february 2014. There must be a serious lack of manpower or of any care for responsible documentation /communication. -- [[User:Bwijn|Bwijn]] ([[User talk:Bwijn|talk]]) 14:58, 5 April 2014 (CEST)
