Talk:Discworld MUD

message: There seems to be a creeping pattern of people leaving pointers to their MUD websites on this page.  Since Wikipedia's not a link farm, I've removed them and left the link to the main page - which is all this article needs.
The appropriate place for links to mud sites is the player links page. Vashti 16:18, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The quick answer to that is that Wikipedia is not part of the MUD community, and including player links breaks Wiki policy.  As stated above, put your link at the player links page and people will see it there (probably many more than are likely to see it here). Vashti 22:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Links 

message: I actually think it looks better now.  It seemed like a good idea at the time, but the page kind of turned into "Gyldes of Thee Discworlde".  We don't really need to know lots of detail about each guild, we just need to know what a guild is and which ones there are.  IMO, anyway. Vashti 02:39, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Unsurprisingly, I got reverted by an anon.  Any opinions on whether it should stay or go? Vashti 05:59, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Go. :P Even after cutting a lot, there was far too much there. The guilds are not really a notable aspect of the game to an outsider when you get down to it. At least not notable enough to warrant that much information. Rehevkor 11:54, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Vashti 15:13, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Noting that the mechanics are weakly class-based is good, noting that the classes are X, Y, Z and have x, y, z skills and abilitis is probably excessive. --Earin (talk) 18:03, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  What happened to the guilds section? 

message: Wallsy cut-and-pasted the information from "finger <deity>" into a new section.  This isn't really appropriate IMO, for the same reason we got rid of the guilds page: it's too much information.  Besides that, I can't think of any way he could have been authorised to release that text under the GFDL, making it a copyright violation. Vashti 11:38, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gods section 

message: Some sort of template like the list of properties shown at topmudsites would seem to be an appropriate addition to this page, but I couldn't figure out template syntax in the 15 minutes it took me to get bored of peering at it. Maybe later, or if someone who watches this page is a WikiExpert... --Earin 11:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  RPG Templatey Thing 

message: I've never played this mud and came to the article looking for its IP adress (while the games official site is down), is there a "wiki" reason for the mud's IP adress not being in the article? If not, could it be added for future users?

replies: text: Wikipedia isn't a game guide, and this isn't a good place for you to come to look for information on playing MUDs.  Topmudsites would be better for the kind of thing you want.  FWIW, if the webpage is down, the MUD is probably down too. Vashti (talk) 13:35, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: So in other words its perfectly ok for every random unknown piece of software to have a link on its wikipedia page to where to get it from, but a link to a mud is a big no no and you should go find it yourself? I see wikipedia never changes. *edit* No. The webpage being down rarely means the mud is as they have different hosts. Occasionally there is an ip issue from their provider which affects ipv4 connections.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.28.145.148 (talk) 22:58, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a link to the mud website. The mud website tells you how to connect. See the earlier comment - when the mud website is down, it's a fair bet that the mud is down too! They run on the same box in the same VM. They do not have different hosts! DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 12:50, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
