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. -- Sangodoc - PWI wiki mod (talk) 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. -- Sangodoc - PWI wiki mod (talk) 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 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 ☆☆Warsong Barrier·Void. In 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 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. -- Sangodoc - PWI wiki mod (talk) 11:52, 3 August 2011 (PDT)

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. :)

(☆) > (★) or (★) > (☆)

Shown format as you provided:

• ☆☆Warsong Barrier·Void

Format inherited from PWI directly:  (I did many searches and took hours to gather the format based on the Encylopedia in-game)

• ★★Warsong Barrier·Void
• or
• ★★Warsong Barrier·Void

NOTE: The colors may have been changed on charts based on the compatible color chart for web standards, in HTML standards. I tried hard to match the original colors while maintaining web compatibility standards as a new addition to the Wiki. (see HTML Colors (section: Web Safe Colors?)

Level > Tier

The reason I changed Level to Tier was inherited from a resource on the PWI website. (Please see Game Info > Advanced Info > Territory War)

I apologise once again as the other edits/changes made were inexcusable and otherwise have no statement to support them. :/
