	In [http://pwi-wiki.perfectworld.com/index.php?title=Rank_and_Reputation%2FRankIX&action=historysubmit&diff=130341&oldid=129831 your recent edit] to the [[Rank and Reputation/RankIX]] page you made two problematic edits. The first was minor, but you should not over-abbreviate. Changing "Attack Level" to "Att. LV" and the like is unnecessary and potentially confusing to those who don't already know PWI terms. The other is a bit more major, where you removed a space from a somewhat broken external URL, which broke it further. The link should not have had a "\|" in it to begin with, but by removing the space you added the word "patch" to the URL instead of displaying that word on the page. The correct way to fix that would have been to remove the "\|" and to leave the space there. External links should be in the format "'''<nowiki>[URLHere Text Description Here]</nowiki>'''", where the first space shows where the URL ends and the text description of that URL begins. Make sure you check the preview of the page for little things like that before posting changes.

			:You are right, my abbreviating terms may be standard to PWI, however lack the defination to new players, etc. The second issue was a common mistake I guess. I don't usually do that. I mixed it up with the internal link format, when it was an external link. That would be why I mistakingly added the "\|" pipe character. Internal links are in a format '''<nowiki>[[URL here\|Text Here]]</nowiki>''' where the external link would be '''[URL_here Text Here]'''. Sorry and thanks! --[[User:Born2solo\|XxSoloPkX]] 20:22, 10 November 2011 (PST)

	::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].

			== Re: Formatting Standardization ==

			I do apologise, here I thought somebody was trolling my edits, it was a mod. I didn't realise I was in violation of that. I haven't been watching this page as I never use the talk page. If there is anything else that you are concerned with please contact me once more. An additional question while you are in contact with me, about the star/color of the items. Below I'll list two perspective as to why I would change the formats. I will also list many other reason why I did so. Hopefully you will see my reasons and understand, even if I must follow standards. I will do my best to remember these things and the info you have provided me for future references. Thanks again and I shall attempt to be more alert on the edits page as well as my talk page and CORE Connect. :)
