I hope you don't mind, I made a few improvements. Template:Smiley --duckie0fq.gifLain Iwakura 23:02, 18 July 2006 (CDT)

Main page

I do mind that you removed the link from the main page. How are newbies supposed to find something that is not linked directly from the first screen they see?

EDIT: Ahh, you changed the link for the starting off guide. Good.

Message to other wiki editors: If you have any additions, changes or complaints about this FAQ, please send a PM to me on the forums instead of just changing it. Thank you. -- Sporhund

Call me daft, but isn't that the point of the wiki system; to edit as editors deem necessary, and moderate editors as editors themselves deem necessary?

Also I don't have a forum account, so I won't be PMing you with any changes I want to make, chances are I'll just make them. Thanks and goodnight. Template:Smiley --Joshu 08:33, 19 July 2006 (CDT)

The reason for that request was simply that you other editors show respect for the effort I have put into this tutorial. I've been spending hours writing, taking screen shots, rewriting and so on to make this guide as newbie friendly and understandable as possible. In all text I write, I strive to make a clear red line, a natural progress throughout the text, and as different people write differently, that would cause a distortion or even break the red line in the text, thereby making it less easy-to-read. THAT is why I requested that.
I see your post as a complete lack of respect for what I have spent hours on making, volountarily, for the new players in Wurm, a target group which I am not likely to recieve much feedback from. --Sporhund 18.53, 19 July 2006 (GMT +1)

Quote from beneath 'Save page' button:
"Please note that all contributions to WurmPedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors. If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly, then don't submit it here."
But then if anyone does anything you don't want/like Sporhund, you can always revert the page/article to an earlier version very easily. Template:Smiley --duckie0fq.gifLain Iwakura 12:21, 19 July 2006 (CDT)

Thanks Lain, that's pretty much exactly what I'm trying to say. Spor, you can always see and re-revise what other people have changed in your tutorial with ease, so I seriously don't understand what the warning message is for. If someone were to insert misinformation to the wiki, their account would be terminated, they wouldn't be an editor anymore, and the page would be reverted.
With all that said, I don't really have anything useful to add to, or revise in, the article - just argument for argument's sake. --Joshu 01:25, 20 July 2006 (CDT)


I just don't want the page to become messy and cluttered. If you feel you are able to not break or distort the red line in the text, and can write in the "same" language, then you can add. But as I said, I just don't want it to become hard to read, as it is already quite a wall of text.
