| − | This page is meant to be a list of mistakes in campaigns and other texts in the en_US development version of the game.
| + | '''Note:''' If you have a GitHub account, please submit typo reports [https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/issues/new/choose on GitHub], rather than here. Thanks for your contribution! |

| − | ==An Orcish Incursion==
| + | (If you don't already have an account, see https://github.com/wesnoth/wesnoth/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/text-typos-or-improvements.yml.) |
| − | ===1_Defend_the_Forest.cfg===
| |
| − | *63:59: "shock waves" → "a shock" ("shock wave" wasn't coined until 1907)
| |
| | | | |
| − | ===4_Valley_of_Trolls.cfg===
| + | [[Category:Writing]] |
| − | *291:50: two spaces → one space
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===5_Linaera_the_quick.cfg===
| |
| − | *24:144: "furtherest" → "furthermost"
| |
| − | *106:64: "hit and run" → "hit-and-run" (multiple dictionary sources agree there should be use of hyphens; see New Oxford American and [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hit-and-run Merriam Websters])
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===7_Showdown.cfg===
| |
| − | *111:15: "well defended" → "well-defended" (see note under [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/well well (adv.)], also consistency with HttT #3 354:158)
| |
| − | *220:94: "council" → "Council" (the Elvish Council is repeatedly capitalized in previous scenarios as it is a formal entity)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Descent into Darkness==
| |
| − | ===01_Saving_Parthyn.cfg===
| |
| − | *19:44: "10" → "ten" (just as 24:305 has "eight" we should be consistent here; 24:37 has "10" but this is referring to an age not a duration)
| |
| − | *394:53: "The orcs are broken, dead or fled." → "The orcs are broken, dead or have fled" (as it stands, it would be "are dead" and "are fled", but "are fled" doesn't make sense)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===02_Peaceful_Valley.cfg===
| |
| − | *28:32: "Three days travel" → "Three days' travel"
| |
| − | *28:233: "The necromancer takes pity on Malin in his friendless state, and asks Malin to travel with him." → remove the comma after "state"
| |
| − | *306:49: "Because it's ridiculous" → "Because it's ridiculous!" (a punctuation mark at the end of the sentence is required)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===03_A_Haunting_in_Winter.cfg===
| |
| − | *33:226: "Elves" → "elves" (consistency)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===05_Orc_War.cfg===
| |
| − | *200:66: "Then, it will be time for you to die again!!!" → remove two exclamation marks (three exclamation marks is grammatically incorrect and unnecessary)
| |
| − | *316:155: "There is, however, a small favor I will ask of you. That will constitute the last part of your training." → "There is, however, a small favor I will ask of you that will constitute the last part of your training." (combine sentences; the second sentence is actually a fragment)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===06_Return_to_Parthyn.cfg===
| |
| − | *18:230: "great river" → "Great River" (place name and consistency)
| |
| − | *24:97: "you will aid me in retrieving a book.' the necromancer says." → "you will aid me in retrieving a book,' the necromancer says." (this is technically one sentence, thus use a comma not a period)
| |
| − | *338:359: remove extra white space
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===08_A_Small_Favor2.cfg===
| |
| − | *407:56: "passage way" → "passageway"

| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Eastern Invasion==
| |
| − | ===01.The_Outpost.cfg===
| |
| − | *36:42: "king Garard I" → "King Garard I" (title)

| − | *36:163: "Orcish" → "orcish" (consistency)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===01.The_Escape_Tunnel.cfg===
| |
| − | *168:48: "king of Wesnoth" → "King of Wesnoth" (used as a title in the sentence)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===03.An_Unexpected_Appearance.cfg===
| |
| − | *165:27: Remove two exclamation marks (having three is grammatically incorrect; more than one is unnecessary)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===04b.The_Undead_Border_Patrol.cfg===
| |
| − | *171:40: Remove two exclamation marks (having three is grammatically incorrect; more than one is unnecessary)
| |
| − | *215:36: Remove two exclamation marks (having three is grammatically incorrect; more than one is unnecessary)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===04c.Mal-Ravanals_Capital.cfg===
| |
| − | *531:46: Too many punctuation marks (use either '!' or '?' or if you must, both, but do not repeat the same punctuation mark as it is unnecessary)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===09.Training_The_Ogres.cfg===
| |
| − | *111:104: "Dacyn, you go north-east. I'll go north-west." → "Dacyn, you go northeast. I'll go northwest." (consistency)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===10.Xenophobia.cfg===
| |
| − | *143:58: Too many punctuation marks
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===12.Captured.cfg===
| |
| − | *159:52: "south-west" → "southwest" (consistency)
| |
| − | *443:108: "south-west" → "southwest" (consistency)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===13.Evacuation.cfg===
| |
| − | *185:127: "including not recalled units" → "including non-recalled units" ("including not" could be confused with "not including" which are not the same)
| |
| − | *206:125: Too many punctuation marks
| |
| − | *214:53: Too many punctuation marks
| |
| − | *274:37: Too many punctuation marks
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===14.The_Drowned_Plains.cfg===
| |
| − | *385:29: Too many punctuation marks
| |
| − | *385:38: Too many punctuation marks

| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Heir to the Throne==
| |
| − | ===04_The_Bay_of_Pearls.cfg===
| |
| − | *236:77: "Because we need to control the seas and the merman folk," → "Because we need to control the seas and the merfolk," (a suggestion; since the speaker is an orc, it may have been the author's intention to have him say it awkwardly; however, "merfolk" would be correct to describe both mermen and merwomen)
| |
| − | *747:31: "north-west" → "northwest" (consistency)
| |
| − | *749:53: "sea sick" → "seasick" (see New Oxford American and [http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/seasick Merriam Websters])

| − | | |
| − | ===13_The_Dwarven_Doors.cfg===
| |
| − | *Throughout this and scenario 12 are instances of "Dwarven Kingdom[s]", some lower case, some upper. It is hard to distinguish whether they are referring to them as a specific place or just them in general. Some consistency would be good here.)
| |
| − | *465:44: "north-east" → "northeast" (consistency)
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===18_A_Choice_Must_Be_Made.cfg===

| |
| − | *209:160: "great river" → "Great River" (place name and consistency)
| |
| − | *283:162: "Merfolk" → "merfolk" (suggestion for consistency; though possible he is referring to a specific army?)
| |
| − | *293:47: as above (unless "Loyal Merfolk" is intended specifically as a title, though I think not)
| |
| − | *317:45: Remove question mark (it is grammatically incorrect to use both '!' and '?')
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | | |
| − | ===19b_Swamp_Of_Dread.cfg===
| |
| − | *305:91: "shock-wave" → "wave" (or use "shock wave", which is correct spelling; however, shock waves were not vernacular until at least 1907)
| |
| − | *312:91: same as above
| |
| − | *321:83: same as above
| |
| − | | |

| |
| − | *322:126: "Elven" → "elven" (consistency)
| |
| − | *363:53: "Drakes" → "drakes" (consistency, unless this is part of his title? in which case leader should also be capitalized)

| |
| − | *643:43: "You had better go check it out." → "You had better go investigate." (the phrase "check it out" wasn't in vernacular until the 1960s; this is not a phrase anyone in a fantasy period like Wesnoth would ever use; "investigate" is much better, and is circa 15th-16th century)

| − | On the turn after you recruit the elves, if you attack the quintain with Konrad, Delfador will say "Your elf used a sword...". He should say nothing, or perhaps say something along the lines of "Try attacking the quintain with one of your elves."
| |
| − | :It's supposed to say '''"You wouldn't do anything stupid like charging that quintain yourself again, now would you? Use the fighters you recruited first; they'll be a lot of help."''' according to the .po files. [[User:Polarina|Polarina]] 23:02, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
