Story talk:The Shape Of The Nightmare To Come 50k
I'm just wondering if it would be heresy to go through and fix the grammar errors in this?--71.229.74.0 05:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
- Why would it be? Just consider it proofreading and you're good. Just as long as your edits are correct, I mean. --Zecro (talk) 06:45, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Since it seems 71.229.74.0 has forgotten/didn't care, I might start spell-checking the articles soon instead. Mostly because I dislike when "serious" stories use bad grammar. It kind of ruins the immersion. Also, I also considered rewriting certain parts of some of the stories? I wont change anything in the story (Grey Knights and Custodes will still be bros on Titan, etc.) but I think I've seen some parts of repeating information or redundant bits here and there. --StargateNerd 01:56, 26 May 2014
As of 28th of May, I have begun doing the above. Only done with the Overview and Section 1 and 2 (as of writing) so far, as it takes a fair bit of time to read through the texts and editing it properly. Please give me some feedback on how it looks in the Discussion page for the relevant story Section. --StargateNerd 15:58 28 May 2014
Question: theres a sequel piece to this, Age of Dusk. Will that be transcribed over here too? 'Cuz that would be behnd kick***- hapless anon
- Yeah, that'd be pretty neat. 108.45.79.178 22:52, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
I actually just started doing that, and I'm 21 sections in. I'm just polishing and editing since I've been learning how to format on the fly. FYI, I don't think OP's done. Last update was Dec. 2015

I think I will also do some grammar checking and minor copy editing. I have noticed a lot of redundant wording and weird capitalization after Section 3. Also there are a few phrases that just don't make sense to me: "[The Necrons] merely secur[ed] the local area around their Tomb Worlds." How far does a 'local area' extend in terms of interstellar war? Orbit around the planet? Nearest warp route exit point? Nearby asteroids? Neighboring planets? It makes more sense to me if they just secured their Tomb Worlds.--207.62.236.112 18:56, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
Continuation link[edit]
Not sure if it's possible to do without individually editing each page, but the link for 60k: Age of Dusk is pointing to the wrong page. It's going to the second "Continued" page, whereas the link to the next part is actually Story:Warhammer_60K:_The_Age_of_Dusk. Which itself is really hard to find because it's tagged improperly. I'm gonna go ahead and fix the tags and the link from the main directory (the one this talk page is attached to), but the rest are still going to be wrong. Someone with more patience and/or knowledge of this wiki software than me should either mass-correct those somehow, or better yet convert the whole story into a page of collapsibles like the other parts are. Scratch that, the mass of links is actually a template and not added manually to each page. Fixed the template to link to the right continuation, should be fine now.
