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)

CrawlWiki (Edit box)



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. The Tavern). If you are looking for things to do, check out the how to help page or the current projects.

Old Discussions:


Start a new section on the bottom of this page for each topic.

Backgrounds

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. 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. --MoogleDan 02:09, 3 August 2013 (CEST)
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

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. --Flun (talk) 15:31, 15 August 2013 (CEST)

Excellent news! --CommanderC (talk) 20:44, 15 August 2013 (CEST)

The Cite extension has also been added. This allows us to use the <ref> and <references /> tag for easier citing. --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. --Buddy23Lee (talk) 21:36, 19 August 2013 (CEST)
