Can we just start with that part? I think here in this forum we have a "confrontation culture", which is to say we all love to talk about our differences. But this isn't a war, nor is the entire forum RNF: the person with the loudest or strongest opinions doesn't "win".

I don't at all mean to pick on you, but I also do want to point out something: trying to find as many ways to disagree with each other, as strongly as we can, and focusing on that in our posts, doesn't get anyone anywhere useful. All it does is start fights with Internet strangers, and that's only "fun" in RnF.

The way to actually improve things is to work with others and build a consensus. All of the player-established roll agreements are a perfect example of this (they were both created through consensus and similarly focus on better sharing a community resource: NPCs).

So when you ostensibly want to change my mind and get me to make the wiki the way you want ... and yet in the same post you insult me for having "guides on how to exploit this game" (because I provide community lists of places for players to hunt, and we now have like 1/10th of the "where do I hunt?" posts in the forum than we did before the guides) ... that's highly unproductive, and quite frankly rude and unnecessary.

But look, we really don't have to be enemies or to disagree with each other. What if instead you had just said:

I like images! Is there a way we can get images on the item pages?
Then I could have said "hey, that's an excellent point: why don't we show the images we've got on the fashion pages on the item pages themselves?" And then I'd add it to my list of wiki projects, and someday I'd add code to make that a reality.

Together, collaboratively, we could have come up with a way to improve the wiki and make both of us happy, without any hostility required. Again, I'm not trying to pick on you: I'm more just trying to point out to everyone that we can interact with each other in a better way, and we (unless you're in RnF) you can even "win" by doing so.

P.S. And yes I know we're technically in RNF here, but that was a bad moderator call and this thread does not belong here.
