Language template

We told you to stop. It is apparent you are spamming meaningless edits like this, and others, conveniently spaced at intervals of a day. At this point you have seriously jeopardised any chance of earning a Wiki Cap.

I've been trying to remain active by editing at least once a day. My revisions aren't meaningless. I was told that those language navigators should be removed, and the other example you provided was a request by WindPower who stated that those tables looked broken beforehand. Understand that I am just trying to help; I believe that contributing a little bit every day is better than doing nothing at all. Your concern has made me realize that my recent activity hasn't been very diverse.
I wish to improve my performance, feel free to contact me on IRC or Steam.

I was going to write something more extensive, but it is probably not worth it. All I can say is this: if you are attempting to artificially inflate your edit count you should stop. The vast majority of your recent edits have not been remotely constructive or necessary. If you feel they should be done, do them hand-in-hand with other, more needed, changes. As an additional note, placing |- before the closing |} in tables has absolutely no impact on the HTML output of the page. If it was done to fix tables that "looked broken" it was the wrong solution. I apologise that my words of warning in the final sentence may come across too strongly.

Language page editing

You shouldn't do this on other language pages unless you can speak the language. Only minor formatting changes that don't affect the text should be made on on these pages.

Okay. I assumed that these were only minor formatting changes, I hope this hasn't caused any problems. I've always tried not to change any foreign text unless I'm absolutely sure that it's an improvement. The example you provided was a section where the word Scout was written three times, on all the other pages the word is only written twice. I removed it for consistency. Again, sorry if this created any trouble.

Adding English text to already translated pages may not be a good idea as it appears to be at odds with several contributors. It is perhaps best to leave their pages up to them to update. As for formatting and removing blank lines or spaces (like here), this is something I think should be stopped; the majority of pages are set out in a way that is already easy to read and edit the wiki code and disrupting it isn't a good idea. Yes, the net effect of removing blank lines to the reader is zero but it's making it harder to edit.

I will try to avoid making any of these changes in the future. I had been correlating the code with what I found on Wikipedia's main page, a style which is easier for me to edit. Since this is trouble for others, I will refrain from using this format from now on; thank you for the feedback.

Talk page and archives

I have to say, your talk page and archives look damn sexy and consistent

Thank you. I was able to create these pages with the information you provided. You've been very helpful, answering any questions I've had and teaching me what you know. I really appreciate the support.
