Welcome to 1d4chanThe wiki for all things /tg/ |

BREAKING NEWS: I've started one of my sort-of-traditional 1d4chan threads on /tg/. This is a thing I do from time to time to remind the people there that it exists and offer the opportunity to anonymously comment on or inquire about the wiki. As is also traditional, it's getting basically no interest, and it will probably sink to the depths of the board and die, gasping for attention that will never come. But if you're reading this and you fancy engaging in some discussion about our glorious wiki, why not click on over and make rude comments about my sexual preferences. I'll be keeping an eye on it for the next couple of hours at least. --Wikifag 23:40, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
If you were paying attention a couple of hours ago, you might have noticed we vanished from the internet for maybe twenty minutes. Fortunately, that's a perfectly normal consequence of site upgrades. For those interested, I have upgraded the host machine slightly, mostly because the shinier package has a larger bandwidth allowance and we've consistently been going over the previous limit by 100-150GB/month, but there may be some incidental performance improvements as a side effect.
A much more significant change to some of our users is that I have attempted to disable hotlinking to images hosted on the wiki. I don't run the logging systems required to track this accurately, but I have observed at least that many people who post about the wiki on their forums and suchlike have a tendency to hotlink images, which is of course very bad netiquette, and those people should feel bad. Right now all the server does is return 403 to such attempts to access the images from other sites, but I might change that to redirect to a different image. For anyone who wants to share our images with the wider world, consider just linking to the appropriate page on the wiki or uploading it to one of the many free imagehosting sites on the web and using that.
At any rate, keep on keeping on! --Wikifag 23:04, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

About
Welcome to 1d4chan, a site devoted to the description and archival of all sorts of things interesting and relevant to /tg/, including articles on fa/tg/uy culture, memes particular to (or at least commonly used on) /tg/, games and systems played by its browsers, interesting fluff thereof, and writefaggotry posted to the board. In addition to this, users are free to use the wiki to store information about online campaigns they are running, or as a platform for collaborative effort on homebrewn game systems or settings.
The wiki is hosted and administrated by Wikifag, although his time is limited and he cannot monitor it non-stop. If an issue has arisen which you believe needs immediate attention (a prominent example would be if the site has gone down or is extremely sluggish, as it may be some time before he notices, or someone has uploaded illegal material to the server) then he can be reached by emailing wikifag [at] gmail [dot] com.
Conduct
- No egoboos 1d4chan is NOT for pages dedicated to specific browsers of /tg/, namefag or tripfag, regardless of how well-known or liked/disliked they are. The only exception to this is the drawfag page, which may list known drawfags and describe their usual subject matter. Please refrain from qualitative analysis of a given drawfag's talents or personality, as drama will inevitably ensue.
- No wars in the article If you find yourself in an edit war or anything similar with another user, move your argument to the article's discussion page. If you observe a dispute over an article and have an opinion one way or the other about it, comment on the discussion. Wikifag prefers to get input from as many people as possible before he has to make some sort of administrative decision about a given issue.
- Campaigns in the Campaign: namespace If you intend to use the wiki as storage for pages about your campaign, your main page should be at Campaign:Name and other related pages should be at Campaign:Name/Stuff. Your pages should also link to each other to avoid them appearing on the orphaned pages list. Wikifag won't punish users for forgetting to do this, but it helps keep the wiki tidy!
- Deleting pages If you find a page that needs deleting, put the {{deletion}} template on it (by including that markup at the top of the page) and it will be added to the deletion category. Pages that should be deleted are pages for campaigns that are no longer running or no longer needed for that campaign, and pages of very low quality or subject matter unrelated to /tg/. Note that the criteria for "related to /tg/" is somewhat lax, and well-written pages that justify even a tangential relation to /tg/ are likely to be allowed to remain.
