Some errors in the wiki

Postby Polt86 » Mon Mar 28, 2011 3:07 pm

I've noticed a few errors recently in the wiki that I find a bit odd.

The first I noticed was the list of boats that a reed boat docks to and can have docked to it. This currently includes several it can't have docked to it, including reed boats.

The last one I noticed is the amounts of materials needed to make iron using coal in a smelting furnace. This hasn't changed recently (no announcement, and I checked to make sure), and I can't see any legitimate reason for it to have been changed in the wiki.

The database says: dock:land,coaster harbour,landing-stage,ferry,longboat,skimmer,soarer,raker,sloop,galleon,reed boat

If this is not what the wiki says, feel free to change it. The wiki is (or should be) driven and edited by the players, with input from staff. :)

The numbers seem correct to me. Are you mixing up the smelting furnace with the primitive smelting furnace? Also the information could be in several places, so it would help if you posted links. I'm assuming you are talking about the info on http://wiki.cantr.net/index.php/Iron ? (which also are the same on http://wiki.cantr.net/index.php/Smeltin ... .28coal.29 )

I realized I could just edit them, so I did. The numbers for making iron using coal were using the numbers for the primitive smelting furnace, so I changed them back.

Ok, sorry I didn't realize that page had been changed a few days back.
