A tip for editing pages[edit]
It is great that you are taking advantage of being able to edit pages, and I am happy you used my Template:XP bonus. One little thing, could you please utilize the Summary: box and include a note as to what you are doing when editing a page before you hit Save page button. It'll make it much easier on the moderators to not have to necessarily go in to find out what you did.. Thank you. ShoeMaker 19:34, April 24, 2011 (EDT)

- Regarding the nomenclature regarding the Summary box & editing the pages, for the longest time, I was adamant to always use the Summary box. Then I saw some of your work which spanned the whole of the DDOwiki. As someone with far greater experience than I, you were the obvious choice to model on how I used the Summary box, which is to say, some of the time. As you've requested that I do as you say, and not as you do, I will continue to monitor the frequency of your usage of the Summary box. Should your volume increase, my own volume will increase. After all, leading through example is usually the best policy.
As for the templates, there are a few templates that have cause some of the DDOwiki pages to change from simple elegance to gaudy clutter. I use them because they are there, and in the hopes that at some time later, the templates will form a pattern that is not yet apparent to me. For example, the bonus XP has gone from quickly showing basic information to a jumble of numbers that one must now navigate. I'm not sure why the exact number of xp based on C/N/H/E is necessary. I'm sure the elitists that need every last xp accounted for already have their charts. For those of us that only need to know how many crates to break, it's no longer practical.
The main quest page has gone from showing an at level list, so that as you progress from one adventure pack to the next, you can figure out roughly which one to do next, to showing where they are in each of the houses with the additional step of needing a leveling guide to know where to go next. Again, though I don't see the art in it yet, it is my hope that I will see it later. Thank you for your time. - Siltharin 8:21, April 25, 2011 (EDT)
I just double checked.. Other than File uploads and User talk pages, I couldn't find more than a couple of actual page or template edits without use of the Summary: box. ShoeMaker 08:44, April 25, 2011 (EDT)
