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]].

::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?

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)
 
 
 
:It seems that there is something broken after the upgrade. I tried to upload a file and got this error message:

==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)
