Regarding your recent changes to lists etc.

Hello and welcome to the Wiki, I hope you'll enjoy your stay.

Just a few things:

1) The cosmetic item class photos should not be placed in an alphebetical order as they are already ordered in a way that reflects the pick-a-class screen from the game itself.

2) regarding most other lists and their order we prefer to keep it ordered with respect to time/release or tier. For example: the "see also" section you tried to order alphabetically already had a system in place: event - event item from 2015 - event items from 2016 in order of tier (lowest to highest), and when we add the ones from the 2017 event they will be place at the bottom also after their respective tier.

3) please just use " - it is on all pages and adds consistency, and even if you think the alternative looks nicer, it, in itself, does not add any more information or value to what was already written; it comes across as unnecessary and "fluffy".


So I guess, to sum it up in short, I'll put it like this: Please refrain from changing what already has a system. Even if you might prefer having systems of alphabetical order you got to accept that we deal with chronological order.

But it is good you changed the HTTP to HTTPS - you can keep doing that!

(oh and also, do not make five million small edits, try to aim for one big edit, thanks :D)

I see you reverted one particular edit of me and thank you for the information about cosmetic item class photo order, list order and what quotation marks to use in the articles. Christianheinrichs (talk) 18:06, 6 October 2017 (PDT)
