TOTAL WAR WIKI

I don't like the fact, that Ixrs decided on his own to order links by channel name alphabetically. That's totally arbitrary "consistency", that does not ease video navigation at all. Why not order channels by subscriber count? Or by chronological order?

I would say, since we all, obviously, want to use this page for promotion, it is very inconsiderate to apply such a change without discussion. -zaript

That is hardly "arbitrary", alphabetical order is a major common convention. Why? It makes things easier to find. Nobody is surprised when "telegraph" comes before "telephone" in the encyclopedia, for example. -Ixrs

That's a major common convention for encyclopedias and phone books, as people know what exactly they look at and all sorting done by a first letters of article. Your change only affected the order of casters, but didn't make it easier to search, as casters names are not at the beginning of the line. That said, it is difficult to imagine, that people would come to this wikipage looking for specific caster, so using conventions of catalogs will not serve any practical purpose. -zaript

It's a major convention for encyclopedias, phone books, and wikis in general. Post order is the least used convention in wikis.

There is no reason to freak out and call me "very bad mannered" for using a major convention. -Ixrs

I wasn't freaking out at all. I wrote, as you can see above, that "it is very bad mannered to apply such a change without discussion". Now, whatever wiki warning says, it doesn't mean we should silently edit each other changes. We can actually come to some conclusion, if we talk. -zaript

Again, it was a minor edit, which typically does not require discussion. "A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions. Examples include typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, and rearrangements of text without modification of its content." Your reversion, on the other hand, is NOT a minor edit and DOES require discussion, which is why I'm talking to you now. -Ixrs

You mean, it wasn't marked as one? And we in fact discussing it. -zaript

Honestly, I don't think that you should be messing with sections other than your own typically, unless you have a discussion over it obviously and you're given permission. Allow people to format the way they present their videos in their own way and in the order that they are. I realize that you've made some adjustments to my formatting, and yes, indeed, they were some nice adjustments. However, I was not asked first for this. There should have been a discussion, but I don't think there needs to be any bad blood. This is just a minor issue that we're dealing with over here. -ThePrussianPrince
