Double clickie texts
Z - K, taking your offer, quick question. I've seen several "Item" pages where the enchantment is listed twice, such as "Web — 1 Charges (Recharged/Day:1) - 1 Charges (Recharged/Day: 1)". Is this as-intended, or (as I'm guessing?) is that some auto-bot glitch? Should we tweak them back to show only once? (Or if WAI, what does the 2nd entry imply?) Misery's Web, Item:Battle Coin, etc. Thx. C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 14:20, January 8, 2016 (EST)
 * This is because someone manually added this to a bunch of Item: pages and I wasn't aware of that when I added it directly to Clicky like it should have been from the start. I tried to clean up as many of them as I see them, but there are a bunch still out there and I just don't have the time to go through all on the wiki to find them all. Please feel free to leave a list of ones you find on my talk page or simply edit the item page and remove the text from the page (but don't alter the templates).  Thanks!

 * That's what I figured - on it. Feel free to close/delete this conversation. C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 16:39, January 8, 2016 (EST)
 * Great, no worries. FTR, is perfectly what I meant.  ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 16:45, January 8, 2016 (EST)
 * Thanks for cleaning those up! —&thinsp; Zav 21:57, January 8, 2016 (EST)
 * NP - by their nature, they were only on "clicky" items ("Uses/day", so they were already on their own page and that list wasn't all that long. Not sure if I got them all, but I'll go over them again later. C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 13:57, January 12, 2016 (EST)

questions re policy
So, when I was co-Admin for the Dwarf Fortress wiki, we had a central page where we could discuss, question and explain different policies and projects, etc. to the various new editors and contributors. Now I find myself on the other side of that - it seems I'm doing things that make sense to me, but are not approp here. For instance, this orphan page looks to me like it should never have been added, and is utterly unnecessary to keep once Trade exists - but my deletion got undone (and without comment!?). Or, I added the {category:hirelings} to 2 new pages for Hireling Vendors, as it seems those articles fall into that category - but those were removed and replaced w/ a new category, "Hireling Vendors". Cool, I guess, but... frustrating to not know what should have been done. One Wiki rule is "Be Bold!", but it seems I don't have a feel for the local (unwritten?) policies, and now I'm not sure how to proceed w some articles. Is there somewhere we, as "new editors", can talk about what is/could be/should be/isn't policy? AND veteran editors can voice explanations and get ahead of the curve re unified meta-approach to articles? C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 18:15, January 18, 2016 (EST)
 * Those are the kinds of things you pick up on as you go. If something you've done get's rolled back, feel free to ask about it on the talk page or on the talk page of whomever rolled it back. Heck, in most cases, feel free to send and email through the wiki. :) ShoeMaker (Contribs • Message • Email ) 22:11, January 18, 2016 (EST)
