Topic on User talk:Oligo

From StarMade Wiki

Thanks a lot for explaining why you partially reverted some changes I made, especially on the Shield Capacitor page. In that page I wanted to fix some typo in the text.

As I understand: for block templates and maybe for "Item Description" sections, you have a bot that pushes your internal data to the wiki. I think it is a very good idea that in-game description and wiki are always in sync.

For such auto-generated parts in the wiki, I would suggest to add an invisible comment like:

<!-- This part is auto-generated by a bot. Do not edit. --> block template or description <!-- End of auto-generated block. -->

This comment would only be visible when editing the page. The idea is to avoid people make changes and be later overwritten by bot. Because currently, as it is a community wiki, it is very tempting to make small edits, fix typos, add links and all. I don't know what solution could be found to manage both automated edits and manual edits... Oligo (talk) 07:15, 14 September 2016 (NZST)
