It would make things a lot neater if we could use categories and templates to standardize the presentation of items and such. Virtually all of the information in here right now is begging to be categorized. I can't do it myself, not having any experience actually creating those, but does anyone else? [[User:Sho|Sho]]

Some categories of items, such as [[tools]], have all of their elements listed on the same page. Others, such as [[resources]], have separate pages for everything. My gut instinct (as a Wikipedian) is to split everything into separate pages and use categories to tie them together (it makes it easier for people to just type what they're looking for in the search box), but I can see why we might want to keep things in big metapages - it's similar to the format found in IC guides, often the individual data aren't big enough for individual articles, and it would be loads of unrewarding data-entry grunt work. Anyone have any opinion? [[User:Sho|Sho]]

* It's not clear how much of the stuff here is data from Programming or Resources Department people (and therefore probably complete and correct) and how much is contributions from players like me (and therefore likely to need verification).

** That would be good. It would also make it easier to communicate with some of the users who have been doing a fair amount of work but haven't registered.

International Emotes link

I have added a link, as requests keep coming up on the forums about how to deal with meetings between characters of different language groups. I have used this before, and assume that its presence on the Cantr wiki means it is a legitimate tool, but as far as I'm aware, dictionaries are a no-no, hence the disclaimer. A formal decision/formal guidance by staff on how to deal with 'international' meetings in Cantr would be appreciated (and is oft-requested)--Hallucinatingfarmer 11:33, 23 July 2007 (EDT)


Emoting can be done in any language and there is not a limit on sources. However, your chars may only speak or understand their spawn language or those learned in game.

No Russian version.

I am appalled to find out that we don't have a page for over 200 million potential players. I took the liberty of setting up a very basic page (it's just a translation of the English one right now, plase add it to the index. http://www.cantr.net/mwiki/index.php/Russkaja_versija
