→How to list foes/bosses in Zone articles
Well, I did get notified. Let me know if you get the message for this, since I won't be using the indent or signature thingies. My current guess is that it notifies you if someone adds to your (talk) page, and that's it. Btw, do we have anyone that can delete pages? We could end up with a fair number of empty pages if we try to move all the creatures to a single page :/
: Hi Karu. First concerning creatures: no, you can make individual creature pages. I only suggested that we focus our efforts first on the creature type pages (Goblin, Arthropod, etc) in which we could list the known individual creatures, and link to their pages (so you can keep making those pages if you like, and we don't need to delete them).<br><br>'''Regarding signatures and Talk Pages''': please try to use them [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Talk_pages as is documented]. When I come to the Talk page, I have no idea where you replied, I have to re-scan all the text to get a sense of who is who, or go through the page history (in fact now that I re-scanned the page I noticed another comment you left regarding Anatomy XP, it's hard to see!). Signatures, indents, and topics (headings) make it easier to see how the discussion is going and who has last replied, not just for the person you respond to, but any future editors who want to get up to date on the conversation and the history of an article. It also allows future editors to join in a conversation, add their opinions as they can chose to address any specific comment by indenting.<br><br>Granted it has been easier to talk to [[User:NotesOfNotus]] because our play time overlaps so we could talk in-game. I've looked for you in-game but we don't seem to be on at the same time much. If you'd like to discuss via Skype to communicate more easily <abbr title="my email is on github.com/fabd">see this tooltip</abbr>. It's not just my page and your page, it's super helpful for all talk pages.<br><br>If I seem to drive things a little bit for now, I hope you can appreciate that I spent some time creating MediaWiki Help bookmarks initially on my user page, and recently moved to the [[Project Gorgon Wiki:How to help]] page sidebar. I made lots of effort during the past 3 weeks to organize things here because now is a critical time to do so. Two weeks ago I posted a [http://www.reddit.com/r/projectgorgon/comments/2gv5jq/did_you_know_there_is_an_official_wiki_well_there/ long Reddit topic] to attract editors, and for nearly two weeks I kept making edits without seeing anybody else in the Recent Changes. I think make a great wiki for this game is a way of supporting it, and the players... but that requires a lot of planning atm in the early days, to avoid it become a big mess later (in my opinion).
