Great Fire Article, it's me. You said you would change. You said you would leave behind that slutty ALiM banner, and give yourself fully to me. I want you babe. I want things to be like they were before, when you said you would be the only article in my life, and we could finally experience true love. The kind of love that is only possible on a dying MMO browser game and wiki. Well fine. Go run back to your banner. Whore.

A poem/short essay by User:TripleU on July 4, 2013, which I'm storing here:

"Without the players support it will become a quick, and impotent failure." - What an accurate prediction.
It's quite possible that no one will ever look at this page again, ever. The depression of watching UD die perfectly mirrors watching zombies slowly wipe out mankind.
The wiki is full of a rich history that a dwindling few are still around to remember. It catalogs buildings that may soon be ruined or repaired for the last time.
Malton is dying, and taking us all with it. Just like in a zombie apocalyse, it's only a matter of time until the city sits empty, devoid of human life.
When Malton is empty, it shall quietly remain, only remaining, empty and silent, until nature retakes it and the servers shut down.
Death is not the terrible thing. Interest in a game always dies. The terrible thing is extinction. All of our intrests shall die, and all humanity will be lost to Malton.
We who still remain remain in a city where there are more buildings than there are survivors. That fact will never be untrue again.
So here we are, us few who remain, watching each other get scrubbed out of Malton. We remain for no long term purpose. We only remain, for what little time remains.

The art of the Demerge

Demerging pages in concept is simple; first, you divert as many incoming links as possible, then transfer the information to the individual pages. Of course, this is all pretty obvious, and not what you were looking for.

Anyways, I try to follow a process when doing this:

1. Open the page you want to demerge.
2. Open another tab to the "what links here" page. This will be your main work page.
3. Type the page name in the "find" field (ctrl+f) and go down the links list, finding and removing any incoming links.
   • Example: you find a link to [[Suburb Schools#Apple School|Apple School]]. Shorten it to [[Apple School]]
   • Be careful when shortening; if the page's name is [[Suburb Schools#Apple School (Suburb)|Apple School]] and you reduce it to [[Apple School]], you'll create a red link or disambiguation link- it must be named [[Apple School (Suburb)|Apple School]]. This is mainly a problem for multi-location names, coordinate locations, and those with "St/St." in them. If you are in doubt, just drop the "Suburb Schools#" piece.
   • Some links are written with underscores (like_this) instead of spaces. If a location is still showing up on the "what links here" list after de-linking, try replacing some of the spaces in your find field with underscores.
4. there is not much you can do about user page or protected pages. If it's a matter of redirecting a link to an individual location then that's fine, but links referencing the page's creation/existence/deletion are best left alone or unlinked (In these cases I'll either leave it as a red link or replace the brackets with bold text).

Once you have corrected all redirects and links, it is time to move onto the actual demerge.

1. Click on one of the locations on the "What links here list".
2. Copy the locationblock and information about the building from the merged page to the individual.
3. Replace {{Locationblockmerge| with:

   {{Locationblock|
   

   location_type=Locationtypehere|

4. Add a lv. 3 header (===header===) for Description, History, Barricade Plan, and Current Events if necessary.
5. Put the following categories on the bottom of the page (don't use the stub template if the page is somehow acceptable):

   <br style="clear: both" />

   ----

   {{locations-stub}}

   [[Category:Building Type]]

   [[Category:Suburb]]

6. Tidy up any leftover junk and move onto the next location.
7. Once you are done, the "what links here" page should only have a few User: or administrative pages left, if anything. Put the merged location page and any extraneous redirects up on A/SD and move on.

While most people aim at taking these on suburb by suburb, I've found that demerging by location type involves fewer variables. I recommend you find or create a page (like I did here) to store some of the common coding, as this can get extremely repetitive.

Good luck! You'll need it. --~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 23:08, 13 March 2010 (UTC).

Available 'Danger' statuses:

• safe - Structurally intact and inhabited by survivors, with numerous lit buildings, and few to no zombies.
• intact - Structurally intact with few zombies, but a very low survivor population and few to no lit buildings.
• moderately dangerous - Active zombies and break-ins, but no major hordes.
• dangerous - Zombies inside many resource buildings and/or significant hostile mobs.
• very dangerous - Most buildings wide open or zombie-infested and/or massive hostile zombie mobs.
• a ghost town - Mostly or entirely ruined, and devoid of significant survivor or zombie populations.

Change |Danger=status and replace status with the appropriate status from the list above.
