User talk:Warpguncody
Welcome!
Hi, Warpguncody! Welcome, and thanks for joining NetHackWiki!
- The How to help and Style guide pages are excellent starting points.
- Special:Recentchanges is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.
- Questions? Need help? You can ask at the Community Portal, the forum, or on the discussion page associated with each article! Just remember to sign those posts with four tildes: ~~~~. That will expand to create a signature.
You can put {{NAOplayer|NAO player account}} on your user page to link to your NAO player account. Capitalization matters.
We are really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!
This is an automated greeting.

SLASH'EM deity pages
Unless the pages you are creating for SLASH'EM deities have interesting content that would warrant their own pages (such as special game mechanics that occur when playing with a certain god, other than the regular mechanics for that role and alignment), there isn't a need for separate pages for each god. Pages whose only content is "X is the [alignment] god for [role] in SLASH'EM" without even an encyclopedia entry for the god are useless, and redlinks to them should be removed rather than given a useless page.
Arguably there could be a "God (SLASH'EM)" page, but I don't think that's needed either since the information can fit onto the regular God page just fine. --Phol ende wodan (talk) 00:42, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Please consider not making wide-ranging changes to pages' lead sections without discussing it with others. Please also remember that in English sentences start with capital letters. Pinkbeast (talk) 23:24, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi, you've been adding a lot of articles with lists of rank titles recently. For example, Elementalist. Can you please specify what variant they appear in? Even just a sentence like "The Elementalist is a role in VariantName." would be helpful. --03:14, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
- These pages are basically spam. They're just a list of rank titles, with no information that a player could actually use. Do these roles have any unique mechanics? Are they simply a set of intrinsics and skills with a few rank titles and an inventory slapped on top? If so, which intrinsics does the role get? Please put useful information on these pages. Rank titles don't give us anything. Testbutt (talk)
OK, so what we have here are a bunch of new pages, in the main namespace, that generally contain:
- "the foo is a role in slash'em extended". No punctuation or capitalization, and "slash'em extended" redlinks because of the lack of capitalization.
- A section containing rank titles of the role.
- A section containing gods of the role.
As it stands, these pages contain no useful information of any sort about their subject. No starting items, intrinsics, skills, strategy discussion, any of the sections commonly found on role pages that actually help players. It seems like you're adding deity lists just because Testbutt complained about pages with only rank titles. Well, adding the deity list and stopping there doesn't really improve the page.
My main concern here is that you're cluttering the wiki's main namespace with low-quality, useless pages that don't follow NetHackWiki style guidelines. Either put in the effort to add useful content to the pages and follow basic rules like capitalization, or stop creating these pages. --Phol ende wodan (talk) 00:53, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
