==Formatting Standardization== While I appreciate what you were trying to do, some of your edits have removed some of the formatting that this wiki is standardized on. For example, you removed the indentation on the [[PWpedia:Community portal]] page, but that indentation is the standard way that wikis in replies on talk pages so that it is clear who is responding to whom. Also, you should '''never''' edit someone else's comments on a talk page, short of removing spam, vandalism, or profanity, since you are changing their meaning. Another example, in the "T" entry on the [[Abbreviations and Terms]] page you removed the capitalization that was intended to highlight the sources of the letters in the initialization used in various abbreviations. If you see errors to be corrected or improvements that can be made, please do continue to make them, but first make sure that you are not undoing something that is done for a good reason. If you have any questions or reasons why you think a different standard should be followed, please let me know. Thanks. -- [[Legacy:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#CCCCFF;font-weight:bold;">Sangodoc - PWI wiki mod</span>]] [[Legacy talk:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#9999CC;font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 13:57, 17 March 2011 (PDT) :Again, please try to follow the standards of the wiki. I've written up a [[Wiki Style Guide]] to help everyone understand what standards should be followed here. So, while I appreciate all of your efforts, currently I feel like I have to follow your edits around, cleaning up all of the nonstandard edits you make. For example, in your edits today I had to change "STR" back to "Str" in the [[Barbarian]] article (attributes should only have the first letter capitalized) and I had to remove the underlining you did in the [[Level 71 - 80]] article (underlining should be avoided if at all possible so the text isn't mistaken for a link). Following the standards means a more consistent and understandable style for the users, and less work for me so I'm not fixing most of your edits. Thanks. -- [[Legacy:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#CCCCFF;font-weight:bold;">Sangodoc - PWI wiki mod</span>]] [[Legacy talk:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#9999CC;font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 12:27, 28 June 2011 (PDT) ::OK, I tried contacting you on your Core Connect page, but so far no response. I hope you do eventually read this, because I'm undoing about half of your edits for one reason or another. For example, on the [[Territory Wars]] you changed it so part of the article used the word "Tier" while another part of the article used the word "Level" to refer to the same thing (see [http://pwi-wiki.perfectworld.com/index.php?title=Territory_Wars&curid=592&diff=125122&oldid=100982 here]). Text in the articles should be consistent, and this is just one of several articles where you've changed one part's format, but not the rest, leaving a confusing mish-mash of two different styles on the page. On the [[Token Packs]] page you ''incorrectly'' changed the open stars (☆) to closed stars (★) for items that have open stars in their name, such as [http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/24687 ☆☆Warsong Barrier·Void]. In [http://pwi-wiki.perfectworld.com/index.php?title=Token_Packs&curid=19432&diff=125132&oldid=124692 that change] you also changed the table formatting, and IMHO it just didn't look very good, so I ended up undoing all of that work. Again, I appreciate what you're ''trying'' to do, but you're not paying attention to the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] page (link available on the left of every page) and noticing that many of your changes are getting undone because they don't conform to the standards for the wiki. -- [[Legacy:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#CCCCFF;font-weight:bold;">Sangodoc - PWI wiki mod</span>]] [[Legacy talk:Sangodoc|<span style="color:#9999CC;font-weight:bold;">(talk)</span>]] 11:52, 3 August 2011 (PDT)
