The place to ask your questions etc.

Creating new pages is simple: Just create a wiki link to the (as yet) non-existant page and click on the link to start editing the new page.
For example: Huerney's Bag of Holding

Could someone please let me know the location of the IRC server? My history window is playing up. Woe! Henry 17:15, 23 Mar 2006 (GMT)

Craig 09:37, 28 Mar 2006 (BST) ==> Server = irc.starchat.net; channel = #criticalhit :D

Craig 18:31, 8 Apr 2006 (BST) ==> Did Adrin stab his brother in the neck with a halfspear? ;P

Bert 13:00, 9 Apr 2006 (BST) ==> He tried to, but managed to throw the spear over a handy cliff instead

Bert 12:45, 24 Apr 2006 (BST) ==> Has the big d6 at the top left changed? Its running over on the right (In work - IE6)

Uh. No. It is bigger than it's supposed to be though. I wonder if that's the problem. -- David 23:15, 24 Apr 2006 (BST)
I've changed the logo to one that fits the size requirement. Does it look okay, now? David 22:23, 29 Apr 2006 (BST)

Craig 23:40, 29 Apr 2006 (BST) ==> Still OK in Firefox ;P
Looks fine now, and I know it always looked ok in Firefox since thats what use at home :P Bert 15:49, 2 May 2006 (BST)

Craig 11:02, 3 May 2006 (BST) ==> Some important 3.5e errata in the PDFs on the WOTC pages here. Loads of clarifications, but of particular interest will be the ones for Scout in the Complete Adventurer errata: Disable Device is a class skill, and there's a clarification of how skirmish works.

Fate points

Can we add those to the House rules? Delphine 13:41, 10 May 2006 (BST)

I was waiting for a session where everyone was present so we could dicuss whether to include the fate point rules or not. -- David 18:56, 10 May 2006 (BST)

Signature

Why do you guys sign before? Ohhh, must be a chat deformation :P Delphine 13:41, 10 May 2006 (BST)

I just thought it made it easier to see where each new persons comments started -- Bert 20:14, 10 May 2006 (BST)
I'd suggest using colons at the start of paragraphs (like I have) to indent replies. -- David 21:48, 10 May 2006 (BST)
Yeah, that looks OK. I thought the prepended signature looked better than the flat look. More like a chat log. -- Craig 12:41, 11 May 2006 (BST)

Crazy Category Conundrum

Notafish, perhaps you can explain the need for all these new categories? Particularly the "Main" category which seems somewhat useless. -- David 18:56, 10 May 2006 (BST)

Methinks someone was bored at work. /me gazes longingly out the window at the blue sky... Bert 08:49, 11 May 2006 (BST)

Table of Contents

Is there a way of suppressing the TOC for individual pages? The TOC seems a bit superfluous for some of the short pages we're creating. In fact, now I've previewed this page, it seems to have added a TOC in a really inappropriate place! I can't see what I'm doing differently to anyone else. Why has it created a TOC after I posted?. -- Craig 12:59, 11 May 2006 (BST)

OK, I found a preferences setting that was causing it (show TOC for pages with more than 3 headings). I don't necessarily want to suppress all TOCs though. Is there a way to do it on a page by page basis for the pages that I create? --Craig 13:07, 11 May 2006 (BST)
I think there's a magic incantation to surpress the TOC on a per-page basis. Have a browse of the Mediawiki help pages. -- David 13:35, 11 May 2006 (BST)
I was bored. Table of contents moved. Use __TOC__ to place a table of contents or __NOTOC__ to supress it. Please don't go overboard removing them though; I find them useful. -- David 17:08, 11 May 2006 (BST)
