Hello,

I remade the wood processor page on the wiki http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Masterwork:Wood_processor (my first contribution to a wiki) and I'm here to ask if it's worthwhile to work on the wiki while all the manuals are being reworked.

I want to help but I need a little help to figure out how to do it.

The MWDF wiki is really uninhabited right now and it would be really awesome if more people worked on it. Also, I'm pretty sure Meph said something about outsourcing the manuals to the community at some point. You could maybe ask him if you could help write the manuals and he'd probably be OK with it.

Where is now Toadlicker ? i just cant find this workshop

[Meph]

Its gone. It only had one reaction, so I deleted it and put the reaction into the Juice Bar. It can new brew toad shots.

Composite bows from the fletcher are still unwieldably large, normal bone products from the bonechipper (not bonerattle) seem to have no material ("cloak" instead of "bone cloak") and there is no bone arrows reaction in the fletcher as you promised ( )

[Bartoum]

@ Arcvasti I guess we need to see the manuals to not repeat it in the wiki.

@ Meph Do you have an idea of when you will put the manuals in? And how do you feel about the wiki with all the work that goes into the manuals?

[Meph]

Manuals: In 3 weeks. I guess.  I dislike the wiki, because its outdated and spreads information thin. On the other hand, people also work on it, and it helps sometimes. I just wish there was ONE. Not a manual and a wiki, but one source of info.

[Bartoum]

Yeah exactly! So I was thinking of waiting for the manuals and help for those but the question is will there be an easy way to help with these?

In my opinion, yes.  If you have the time and ability to fix up the wiki, that's wonderful.  It needs a vast amount of work right now.  Every little bit will help, especially for the non-dwarf races.

[Meph]

I think I will make a thread for the manuals soon. I am waiting for Boltgun, who is looking over the css/html behind it. Then I can start porting more content into the new manual.

[Bartoum]

I will work on the wiki a little bit while waiting for the manuals. Worst case scenario is a little editing on the copy/paste from the wiki to the manuals.

If you can add me on skype (Daggroth)/pm me when you finish a page, I will proofread it for spelling and grammatical errors.  I don't really know the formatting to work on the wiki myself, but I can just edit the page easily.  I already fixed the errors on the wood processor page.

You can always check the Recent Changes page perdiocally to see what has been worked on, though that'll give you more than just the Masterwork namespace.

[Bartoum]

Yeah I'm not the greatest writer ever that's for sure  . I don't really know how to do the complicated stuff on the wiki either, I'm just copying and make sense of it. It's not that hard really (but grammar is). I didn't play the other races yet so for the moment all I do will focus on them.

MWDF v5.10:
Training on the Track Parcour no longer generates new trapcomps, instead the used ones are preserved.

Shucks! I can't have one of my Legendary bolds take a mediocre trapcomp to the Parcour course and upgrade it to masterwork? That was always an amusing little exploit.
