Utility: Official release of the unofficial Dominions 3 Wiki

[Grimgor]

Great to have the wiki back, in any form! Thanks Ich, for the great work!

[Soyweiser]

Thanks for putting the time in to put it back up. I'm also happy that you are all right. With everything disappearing I was a bit worried.

Now I have to make good on all those promises I made about stuff I put in my to do list.

Thanks for hosting it again!

"stop" "misusing" "quotation" "marks"

And you are wrong. 99% of the good sites out there are not just static pages. Without scripts it would not be able to edit them.

sorry, don't get either of your points

Perhaps this will help:

What he means is that the way a wiki works is that anyone can edit it, and if it were just text, this would not be possible.

On a wiki, you can edit an article and add your own information. You can create internal links to other articles and transclude certain pages onto others.

Take a look at how Wikipedia works, and please leave the 90's for the 21st century.

yeah, I knew what he meant, I was just being a counter-grammar-nazi.

Brxbrx has correctly inferred the meaning of my badly written text.

Momfreeek, would you say you are just trolling here now?

Thank you for pointing out the mistakes. I would edit them, but sadly the forum doesn't allow me to edit posts past a certain time frame.

@Soy
I use quotes (among other things) if the word I'm using is not exactly right. When I say "scripts", I know it might be scripts, or programs, or transformers, or whatever. I don't know if his site is really "down", maybe it's running fine but not available. Seems like standard English usage to me as long as I can remember. You're probably pleased that "Waterstone's" got renamed (or perhaps you'd prefer Waterstone's).

@Elsewhere
As for the points about the (Dom3) Wiki content. Yes, I do realise (especially e.g. with Wordpress) that most stuff is delivered dynamically --- and so much the worse for delivery speed and processing usage. My point was that, as an information source with loads of text and little if any interaction, the content is static in nature. When I read the pages that's what I'm accessing.

At times you ask questions here with no intention other than an innocent & polite query for information and you get shouted at.
