message: The name "Fudge" hasn't been an anagram for the last two published versions of the game. I'll be editting things accordingly.E.T.Smith 05:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've fixed everything but the main title, which still uses the outmoded all-caps version of the name. Would someone with more Wiki-skill than me please see to this?E.T.Smith 05:35, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

text: Sorry, got the similar words mixed up. The point still stands though, that though the name may once have been an acronym, it no longer is and this article should reflect that. Thank you for showing me how to amend it accordingly.68.39.72.108 19:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Are we sure about this?  I thought they were two different games; there's not a lot of overlap in the rules. 203.113.232.209 22:34, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  FUDGE was SLUG? 

message: I added a link to the Fudge Guide Wiki to the "external links" section of the Fudge rpg wikipedia entry, since the Fudge Guide has become an incredible resource for anyone interested in the Fudge RPG.
I was going to add a link to the new Fudge Community Yahoo Group (the first email list/community forum hosted & officially supported by Grey Ghost Press, Inc., which I started up a few weeks ago when the original Fudge List mailing list hosted by Carl and Karen Cravens closed down)... but the editing guidelines specifically mentioned that "social networking" pages should be avoided in the External Links section.
I think the new Fudge Community group is a great place to go to learn more about the Fudge game (the message archives are set for public viewing, and members can access files and links and a calendar of Fudge events and all the other Yahoo Group bells and whistles), is it all right to add a link in the "external links" sections? Or is the "no social networking sites" rule a hard-and-fast one?
(new to editing Wikipedia -- wikis daunt and confuse me, don't want to make a mistake, there's a lot of power in editing a wiki entry!)

replies: text: Thanks for adding the link to the Wiki.  Given the nature of Fudge I think it is agood idea.  But I would not add the yahoogroup.  What you can do though is add the yahoogroup to the Fudge Wiki.  Anyone interested in Fudge will go to the Wiki and then see it there. Web Warlock (talk) 13:24, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fudge Community Yahoo Group -- okay to link to it in External Links section? 

message: I don't think it's relevant how many sides the dice have; as long as there's an equal number of the three kinds of sides, they're dF. (If anything, they're emulated three sided dice (with an -2 offset.))
Most uninitiated people might assume six-sided, which is fine since that's what most published Fudge dice looks like today.
I was very close to adding "usually" between "are" and "six-sided" but I'd rather just remove that part since it doesn't really add any information on how to play Fudge.  Sunnan (talk) 22:12, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

message: "Went through and not only found citations for some of the required sections, but also added and re-phrased some of the longer running sentences. Also made links to the Grey Ghost Press wiki page that I will be working in a few." Lucky Foot (talk) 09:42, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Changed the front logo from the book cover to the official Fudge RPG logo as the book cover may change over time and it won't be a good representation of the system. The Fudge Swoosh Dice logo is the official symbol. Lucky Foot (talk) 05:57, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Moving this here from the "Complexity" section:
:Another draw to the system is the lack of mathematics in a lot of builds with the game focusing more on the story instead of the arithmetic seen in some games like Wizards of the Coast's Dungeons & Dragons.
This has got nothing to do with "complexity", so it's in the wrong section; there doesn't seem to be a right section.  It's unsourced, and reads a lot like someone's personal opinion.  It's also not particularly accurate, but seems to be praising (original research or fancruft) the use of verbal adjectives instead of numerical factors, which is already covered much more dispassionately in another section, making this passage redundant.  If someone wants to clean this up and replace it in the article, more power to you.  But it looks like fan praise, which has no place here. 71.200.89.119 (talk) 13:57, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
