==Disambiguations==
*Good work with all those disambigs last night. Got a lot done! --[[User:Revanche|Revanche (admin)]] 10:47, 14 December 2006 (CST)
:I'd like to think so, but I know otherwise. I once done about two or three hundred of the things manually, from scratch… never been quite able to equal my previous pace, not sure I want to either; it burns you out too quickly. I'm sure CJ can attest to that fact — it becomes seriously physically draining after a while, like with any work I guess. Nonetheless, thanks for the encouragement, it means a lot. --[[User:Xoid|Xoid]] 11:34, 14 December 2006 (CST)
::If I knew what the hell it is that you're being praised for doing, I would try to help :p. --[[User:The General|The General]]<sup>[[User_talk:The_General|T]]</sup> 20:26, 14 December 2006 (CST)
:::It's called "work", y'know, that thing we don't do over at the UDWiki. --[[User:Xoid|Xoid]] 02:00, 15 December 2006 (CST)
::::Hehe, true. Although something more specific would have been helpful. --[[User:The General|The General]]<sup>[[User_talk:The_General|T]]</sup> 06:11, 15 December 2006 (CST)
:::::Essentailly, ambiguity sucks. Disambiguation is the process of systematically removing it through making the first point of reference impossible to take the wrong way. For example; [[Atlas]] redirects to [[Atlas (disambiguation)]]. That page tells you that "Atlas might be this 'Mech, or it might be this planet". That way you don't end up at at [[Atlas]] and go, "Hey, that's not the planet! Where's that planet's article?" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Disambiguation Wikipedia's internal documentation] about disambiguation pages and their purpose should further enlighten you to exactly what I was doing. --[[User:Xoid|Xoid]] 07:05, 15 December 2006 (CST)

==Wikipedia tag ==
*Xoid, it doesn't seem to work properly with article names that include a space. I'm looking at out [[Chaos March]] article, and it seems to want to refer to either the Chaos or March article at Wikipedia. Any insight? --[[User:Revanche|Revanche (admin)]] 11:07, 17 December 2006 (CST)

==Spelling==
Thanks for the heads up on the alternate spellings. I didn't realize that there was more than one acceptable spelling for those words. I agree that a dictionary for BtWiki would be a good idea. Especially since there are a great number of words that are specific to the BT universe, many of which are hard to spell. I’d be happy to help create a dictionary for spell checking for the BT wiki but I have no idea how to do that. -[[User:AidanPryde|AidanPryde]] 15:06, 17 December 2006 (CST)

==RE: Boo==
Yeah, I'm still here. I was reading some of the stuff over at Wikipedia, and I'm thinking that some of the stuff I've been doing would be more appropriate over here. I might start moving my articles here, then working on the pages here as well. Haven't decided yet, but it's good to have the choice.
