Welcome to the wiki
Hello Jwguy, and welcome to the wiki.

Since you're importing a campaign setting, I wanted to make sure you knew some of the differences between us and the other wiki. We do not use the (Campaign setting) identifier at all, ever. Instead we use a subpage setup, where your main campaign page might be "Some Campaign (3.5e Campaign Setting)" and the character option page might be "Some Campaign (3.5e Campaign Setting)/Character Options". I've already updated the first set of links in your campaign setting to show how you can link to these subpages from the main project page easily; if you want to do any other linking you'll need to use the whole link.

As for the environments thing on the other wiki (I recognized your name and wandered over there to take a look at what was going on), here's our policy in general: we prefer to keep things as modular as possible. The idea is to make as much material as possible available for people to mix into their own games, and that's best done by splitting out as many feats and classes and environments as possible. So if it can exist outside of your project, because it doesn't reference any setting specific rules or whatever, it should get it's own page and identifier and then be transcluded back into the setting (we can help with this if you're not sure what this means). You can stick a notice on top of the page if you like to make it clear that it's intended for use in a project and references things in the project of course, and lots of people do. And if it can't really exist outside of the project, or doesn't make any sense outside of the project, it should just be written up as a subpage or a part of a subpage.

And if you have any other questions about a policy or wiki community preference or the way we do things, feel free to ask. - Tarkisflux Talk 16:54, 26 March 2012 (UTC)


 * I noticed that your import appears to have stalled out. If you patched things up at the other wiki and don't wish to continue the transfer, please let me know. We remove incomplete content that isn't going to be finished, even if the author hasn't requested it (though we delete for that too), and I'd prefer not to remove something you were planning on working on further. - Tarkisflux Talk 18:09, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
