Thanks for the help you've been giving lately, it's greatly appreciated!

Thought I'd check on something also; is it okay to quote or near-quote revision notes when I don't know how a function works, as I did with batch_close()? Should I give credit, as I did on that page, or is it implicit that the ultimate source of information may be said logs? Whatever you & V are most comfortable with is fine by me, but if I can save the clutter of including such attributions on a page, it wouldn't hurt.

It would probably also be nice to have a prominently linked-to "Without these mafia devs we wouldn't be here" type of page, I'd think.

Any other thoughts / comments are appreciated.

• As the revision notes are frequently the only documentation you're going to have for a new function, certainly they should be fair game for inclusion here. I agree that attribution of such notes would just be clutter. --Jasonharper 15:21, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

RE: "initialized" I guess I should have said "declared" (have I mentioned I'm not a programmer). I've edited that in, and should probably make it a little cleared that map_to_fill must already exist as a map (ie using file_to_map() doesn't count as declaring the map)...

RE: the boolean parameter: I just went by what was already on the wiki, never used it myself (except to test the return value of the function when the boolean parameter was false). The notes on one of the original pages said everything was supplied by Veracity, so I didn't think of questioning it.
