/w in the url
Since the last update (if I remember correctly), there is now a /w in all urls (e.g. http://en.ddowiki.ws/w/Home). Until recently, the url without the /w (e.g. ) also worked (by redirecting to the /w address). Now, it does not work anymore. This could be a problem for urls posted previously, as well as for people who bookmarked some specific pages. Any way to fix it? Tihocan 11:12, March 6, 2006 (EST)


 * Ah, stupid me. I read it too fast. It will automatically redirect within 5s. So, my question will just be: is this permanent? (just making sure in order to post correct urls on forums for instance). Tihocan 11:14, March 6, 2006 (EST)


 * LOL - yah, we don't know what the final scheme will be. Probably two different things for action URLs and page titles, but not sure. For now, use the DEFINATE URL - http://en.ddowiki.ws/index.php?title=Pagename - any old URL will probably figure itself out, anyway.


 * Yes please, try to keep backward compatibility, or some users are just going to get lost. And we want old links to work so that people can use the direct links we provide on the ddo forums. Tihocan 17:00, March 6, 2006 (EST)

Reference desk
Just got it set up. Would all you regular users go add the various sections to your watchlist, so we can promptly and succinctly answer any questions? Thanks. Also, go advertise it on the forums - as a source for questions and answers. Thanks!


 * I like it. I changed the "Ask a question" link on the home page to point to it. However, what exactly does the Modifications topic cover? I can't quite figure out what kind of game questions would fall under that heading. Is it for modifications to the wiki? Or is this a generic help desk layout that applies to other games that can have user-made mods? It seems a bit ambiguous to me even after reading the description, and will probably get some inappropriate questions placed there as it currently stands. Maybe a slight rewording would be beneficial? Dedridd 09:52, March 7, 2006 (EST)


 * For game modifications of course - sooner or later they HAVE to release an API, or even if they don't, there will be modifications. Any game without user intervention is lame.


 * You're more than entitled to your opinion, but my point is that it's confusing. Since the design of the game doesn't currently include the ability to do mods, does the link make sense now? Dedridd 12:25, March 7, 2006 (EST)


 * Comment it out if you like. Sort of afk at the moment.

Color Scheme of the Wiki
Is there a way I can change the color scheme of the Wiki so it doesn't hurt my eyes? I really need/prefer a black/dark background over lighter text. Infact the previous dark color scheme was easier on my eyes. (But I like this new layout)

(Hi everyone. Sorry for this newbie question, but I've tried to find info searching and have failed)

By the way, just to expand on what I said, I really like the current layout, I find it's very easy to find information and compare it. I'm particularly fond of the Enhancements setup with links to all other enhancements and also links from within the "base" item (ranger enhancements with link to the ranger class in general, for example). Keep up the good work!

PS: I'll be making my first contribution today, I finally found something to add =) (rather change) it's a small error, but hey every little bit helps :)

One last comment: Keep in mind that Opera users often have their "ID" string set to fool pages into thinking they're Internet Explorer. Also Opera in many ways does behave like IE to 'fix' the broken pages. While this IS changeable/overrideable, it's something most people won't do. So for example.. when I edit my profile, it displays things "wrong" just as Internet Explorer does. Heh. (the options are partially overlayed (floated) on top of the text)
