Template talk:Infobox main/Mhmm/reply (7)

Hi,

Sorry if you lost any work. I made a one-line change to the weapons table to change it to the navbox and removed everything that wasn't from the games files because I thought it would be better to have the template calculate some of that stuff instead of handwriting it down. I hope you understand I had good intentions.

That being said, please don't threaten me. This is a community wiki, and you're not in a position to tell someone who is part of said community to "leave the wiki alone". I'm sorry if you also can't appreciate some of the articles I've added, like on Health ( http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Health ), Injury ( http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Injury ), Pain ( http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Pain ), Clothing Layers ( http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Clothing_Layers ), or some of the rewrites of articles I do like on Gear ( http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Gear ), or the many pages that had broken formatting or bad syntax (especially with Categories).

No, I'm not a wiki expert. The last time I was using a wiki was years ago, and I'm learning a lot of stuff. I can't understand how you call me out for not knowing "how mediawiki works" when you told me that several of the things I did were literally "impossible", like adding new stats to the Infobox main page, when I clearly did, and you even revised some of the stat names (despite saying it was impossible).

I think I've provided plenty of evidence that I'm not trying to do harm, and that I am (attempting) to add and change things to be better on the wiki.

I also took some time to read through the thread for this "community decision" to use your template, and found some interesting excerpts:

"Yeah the look is fine, but we just need the new stats in there like warm up time, cool down time, the 4 different accuracy percentages at range. The overview page http://rimworldwiki.com/wiki/Weapons has the correct stat groups for example. My problem basically was that I couldn't add new columns to the info box to cover the new stats guns have, I could alter it's current stats inside the current parameters. IE. I could change its Accuracy score from 5 to 7 for example but I couldn't rename Accuracy to something else or add a new column for warm up time or cool down time."

I checked your pages, and see that they don't have warm-up or cooldown times listed anywhere.

"That's great man! Maybe the red background with black text is a touch harsh on the eyes but that could just be me."

You ignored feedback.

I'm still genuinely not sure what your problem is with me, or the Infobox main template, or anything else really. There was no over-arching or supreme decision that your template is the only template that should ever be used for the weapons table, at least not in the thread. If it's somewhere else, please feel free to link it to me by any means - otherwise I'm convinced that you didn't understand the documentation for the Infobox main template and went on to make your own.

Please don't respond if you have nothing constructive to say about any of the issues above. I'm sure no one enjoys seeing the wiki's recent changes log being filled up with this argument.
