Welcome! Use this page to discuss general topics about the Crawl Wiki.

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?

==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)
 
 
 
:It seems that there is something broken after the upgrade. I tried to upload a file and got this error message:
 
Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/7/70.

==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)

==Opening up registrations/edits==
 
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)

== 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)
