Welcome to DominionStrategy Wiki! We hope you will contribute much and well. You will probably want to read the help pages. Again, welcome and have fun! Qvist (talk) 08:26, 26 October 2012 (EDT)

Thanks, Re: Peddler

Thanks for fixing my wording about the Peddler misconception! I feel embarrassed that I made such a basic mistake, but you're totally right! Cazort (talk) 14:03, 1 February 2013 (EST)

No problem! Ajd (talk) 02:16, 3 February 2013 (EST)

Featured Article

I'd be interested in taking up the mantle of making sure that and the "did you know?" get updated on a regular basis. Any idea how that's done? Werothegreat (talk) 20:32, 21 September 2013 (EDT)

I expect you'd have to have admin privileges to be able to edit the front page. I have admin privileges, so I'll see if I can figure out how to give them to you. Ajd (talk) 22:37, 21 September 2013 (EDT)

Thanks! Let me know how that goes. Werothegreat (talk) 23:05, 21 September 2013 (EDT)

Blocking editors

Is there a way to block IP addresses from making edits? There's this one person who's been making a lot of nonsense edits recently and it needs to stop. Werothegreat (talk) 01:25, 14 May 2015 (EDT)

Oh, good question. I have no idea. Hmm. Ajd (talk) 14:18, 14 May 2015 (EDT)

Yes, I think it's possible. Let's see if we can avoid escalating to that, though—leave a message on the talk page for the IP address, like, "These combos you've been posting aren't good combos and don't really belong on the wiki; in the future, it'd probably be a good idea to discuss them on the forums first to see if people think they're worth posting" or whatever. And then if they keep posting bogus combos without discussing first we can consider blocking them.

Also, we probably should have a Great Hall / Ironworks article—not because it's a good combo, but because it's an obvious combo that people talk about a lot, so maybe we should have an article about why it's not as good as it seems. Ajd (talk) 14:22, 14 May 2015 (EDT)

Slog/Combo pics.

Thanks for putting Mountebank on the slog page. Also, Combo needs more descriptive pictures than Counting House. Thanks, 173.63.72.104 13:02, 21 June 2015 (EDT)

I think it was Werothegreat that did that! Ajd (talk) 03:25, 22 June 2015 (EDT)

Can you ask him about Combo? 74.102.70.142 13:27, 14 August 2015 (EDT)

Could you? I really don't care about article pictures. Ajd (talk) 11:57, 16 August 2015 (EDT)

Knights on main page?

I think that the Knights page is very good, and the main page needs a new featured article. Also, Caravan Guard is good for now but a new "Did you know?". 173.63.72.104 10:51, 26 June 2015 (EDT)

Okay, but it's also Werothegreat who takes care of featured articles and stuff. Ajd (talk) 12:22, 26 June 2015 (EDT)

They get updated a few days into each new month. Give it a week. Werothegreat (talk) 12:46, 26 June 2015 (EDT)

Good! I can't wait for it. Seriously, the main page articles should change every week, just as a to-do. 70.105.171.33 19:20, 27 June 2015 (EDT)

We would run out of cards very quickly. Werothegreat (talk) 22:53, 27 June 2015 (EDT)

There's also strategy & stuff like that (Combos & Counters, Expansions), plus, you can put a card there twice if it had big changes. 70.105.171.33 12:54, 28 June 2015 (EDT)

RfD

Is there an RfD page for consensus on conflicts? 74.105.133.44 08:18, 4 March 2016 (EST)

Hi there

Hey,

I don't know if you were aware, but some members of the Dominion Discord group have started a wiki modernization project, around when the "Improve" tag popped up on all the card pages. All the individual card pages that have since had that tag removed (and protection added) were collaboratively written, edited, and reviewed by at least a dozen people who play too much Dominion, so we're pretty confident the wordings on those pages has community backing. Hope you don't mind if I rollback some of your edits to those pages. If you'd like to join us, here's an invite link: https://discord.gg/fhCKbTcJyW

Thanks, terracubist

Thanks! But I don't use Discord. However, the point of using a wiki is that there's always room for improvement. I'm delighted that the Discord group is putting an effort into revamping wiki articles; certainly they're badly in need of it. But if I look at a Discord-written article and think, hm, this is unclearly stated, or missing some information, or I think the intro paragraph to the Curse article should have a sentence or two about what the basic function of Curses is, I don't think it makes sense to rollback the edit just because it's not part of what the Discord group came up with. If you think it harms the article, undo it on that basis and we can discuss it; but please don't undo it just because I wrote it rather than someone on the Discord group. Ajd (talk) 02:50, 22 March 2021 (EDT)

Sounds good. So far, I've only made some very minor undo's on a few wording changes (Council Room, Cathedral, Displace I think?) that we specifically wanted and discussed in Discord; I'm not just undoing things on the basis of who did them. Thanks for what you do! --Terracubist (talk) 13:39, 22 March 2021 (EDT)

Page Section Guidelines

Hey there. I noticed you and terracubist swapping a strategic remark in and out of the Estate article. I think it'd be a good idea to decide it one way or the other and then edit the style guidelines to avoid such conflicts on articles in the future. Muenstercheese (talk) 19:03, 2 April 2021 (EDT)

Hmm. Currently all the style guidelines say about the lede section is "Each page should begin with a concise introductory summary." I suppose we could stand to have more concrete guidelines than that. Ajd (talk)+

It'd be good to decide whether the lede should be strictly factual or if it may have a brief strategic remark as well. I'd favor leaving strategic information out and only putting it in the Strategy section, personally. Muenstercheese (talk) 14:35, 5 April 2021 (EDT)

Style Things

Another style question: Where should people use hyphens, and where should they use en or em dashes? This seems like a good thing to put on the style guidelines as well, to get some more consistency across the wiki. Muenstercheese (talk) 00:48, 5 April 2021 (EDT)

I just figure we ought to hold by the usual guidelines for different types of dashes, same as any other punctuation mark; I don't think this wiki has any special rules for dashes, does it? Ajd (talk) 03:38, 5 April 2021 (EDT)
