Topic on User talk:Harakoni

Hey! Thanks for approving my work and your great changes. Particularly, I remember thinking about the lower rest effectiveness right after posting, but got busy and didn't go back to add it, so I was glad to see you had.

I was going to go in and rewrite the pages for the other four stone block types once the slate blocks page was approved (Slate was a "proof-of-concept", if you will) but I saw you had made similar changes to Granite blocks as well. Are you working on any more right now? Don't want to step on your toes or start on something you're in the middle of.

Also, while I can mostly understand why you made the changes you did, and will try to stay consistent with them in my future edits, can I ask why you got rid of the "Info" template? As far as I could tell, that was so that the stone blocks "List" template (e.g. on the stone blocks page) would pick these up and display quick comparisons. Is that a feature we're trying to phase out, or something?

I did granite just because it was largely already up to the standard you had set with slate and it was a quick task. Absolutely happy for you to update the others, including any subsequent changes you think are needed to slate and granite. You did an excellent job with slate and the template and this is a collaborative process not a hierarchical one.

RE: Info/List. Essentially yes. Info is a holdover from an earlier much less comprehensive time of the wiki where it made sense to put detail in the intro, but it's too inflexible for all the different types of pages the wiki has now and it requires the duplication of info. It was also inconsistently used even at its peak. It is being slowly phased out but its a low priority so no real action is being taken besides removing it when we come across it.

Also I was going to say welcome to the wiki but what I should be saying is welcome back! Looks like your last edit before this lot are from before I even joined on.

Glad to have you return, please feel free to hmu if you have any issues, questions, or anything. I'm also about to automoderate you so no more waiting around for mods to approve edits.

Thanks for the welcome (back) and the automoderate :) I just looked at my edit history and I guess I've contributed more than even I remembered :D makes sense though; I've always loved RimWorld and always find myself coming back eventually.

And thanks for the explanations! Collaborative over hierarchical is a great way of putting it. Nevertheless standards are a great thing, so I stick to them when they exist (can you tell my day job is a software developer haha)
