Updates

Thanks for your updates to the wiki. However, I have noticed a couple times now that you've simply deleted information from the wiki instead of updating the text to current information. (For instance, removing the overview on Advanced Worktable instead of updating it with I13 details.) In the future, please update text instead of removing it; for instance, removing the overview on the worktable gave the impression that the worktable no longer has a use, but it does, it is simply different than before. Updating the text instead of removing it brings the wiki in line with current game data. ~ AGGE talk/cons 03:13, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

o,o explanation: we try and avoid removing old out of date info, and instead move it to historical sections so that we have something to compare things to at a later date. This way someone can easily go check how many times the debt cap has been reduced, or see how the original Galaxy City differs from the shadow version through ouroboros. Obviously many minor tweeks are still lost, to the sand of time, but it allows for a greater perspective of the game as a whole (and lets ppl returning after, for example, 3 years absence to go look up something and confirm that they aren't going crazy, such and such did do this back then). We do love that your looking into things that have been missed somehow not updated yet though! --Sleepykitty 06:36, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

I read on your page that I need to answer here. As far as I know, I've only removed lines from the Advanced Worktable and some of the travel powers. In both cases there was already a Historical section mentioning the change. For the Advanced Worktable the only line in Overview was an exact word for word copy of what was in the Historical section except that it didn't mention is was obsolete after i13. Removing the line just left and empty Overview. I could have made a copy of the single line in the Description.

As to the Travel Powers, the Historical section already mentioned that you didn't need to be level 6/14 any more. Instead removing the line mentioning the level requirement, I could have written that you need to be level 4, but the other powers in the power pool never mentioned that. I have had to add it to all power pool powers that can be selected at level 4 to be consistent. As you simply can't select from power pools before level 4 and this is mentioned in the Overview, it seemed to be redundant information to explicitly mention that you needed to be level 4.

I thought I had been quite reluctant to remove or edit anything. I've often only added comments to the discussion page if I thought something was outdated. I've only removed things if they were already in the Historical section, but the main text still also had the old description. From now on I will just refrain from editing any text, and just comment on Discussion pages RogerWilco 12:32, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
