There's something we can do, to make redirect pages. You just have to put the code #REDIRECT [[The Armory]] in the page Armory, for example (or viceversa), and both links will point to The Armory. It's useful if there are many types of both links

Thanks... but... I sort of already change most of the links...
oh well, I'll keep that in mind next time

What we really need now is content and pictures (there are quite a few on the wiki, but we still need more), so I'm going to replay DMT3.

EDIT: now added a bunch of pictures. Is no license a good license? I heard that we either upload pictures under "no license" or "fair use" – that correct?

Ok, I didn't even finished adding pics, I started adding infoboxes.
This is first I added, tell me if it's right:

It's fine! you can tweak the appearance too if you want (you can ask me for help if you don't know how).

Well, techincally the pictures are copyrightted and the author gave us permission to use them, but that would work too I think.

I went through and added some redlinked pages for locations. I think I'm going to work on updating the "objects" page to be like the "Items and Objects" page in the Submachine wiki - a list of all the obtainable items with small pictures of them. So prepare for more picture spam, I guess.

And I think that most wikis just don't select a license when uploading pictures. It's usually implied that no license means you're making no claim of ownership over the image.

I never knew how much the language resembled Spanish, but that makes sense since Spanish is of Latin root. I'm surprised that I think I might have understood that:
latinam = Latin?
facilis = facil = easy/simple/facile
lingua = lengua = language
attractivaque = attractive
Did you say that Latin is a simple and alluring language? That's my best guess, but I could be absolutely wrong.

So, the one that says all rights reserved, but is used under author's permission? So we could upload the pictures under the following licenses?
No License
Fair Use
All Rights Reserved, but under Author's Permission

Great, I'll focus on the locations then, since my knowledge on the secrets/achievements is quite incomplete. Anyone want to do characters?

The great thing about Latin is that if you know it, you can understand Spanish, Portuguese, and a lot of French and Romanian really well, even if you've never studied them. (I said "I speak Latin - learning it is easy. It's a beautiful and interesting language." pulchra = beautiful and attractiva = interesting. Your first Latin lesson. ) /way off topic sorry

I didn't get the object pictures up today, but I'll try tomorrow. After that I can start making character pages if no one else has yet. (Not adding content, just making the pages with pictures/categories.)

Also, back at the Submachine wiki, I'll fill in the descriptions for the Sub8 section of the "music" page sometime this week too, it's been empty for too long.

That's my reason for wanting to learn it

We're not in a hurry

Yeah, and it also works viceversa, I'm Spanish and I can understand most of Latin without having studied it

Yeah, with the last one preferred. Anyways I tend to forget adding the license to the images I upload

I can probably lend a hand later today.

That's how I understood what I did.

Great
At this rate the wiki will be revived quite quickly. I don't have much to do this afternoon so I will continue adding pages and content

Yeah, maybe we should add some actual content, not just pics and titles of pages?
