Thanks for the great advice! As I'm sure you figured out, I have never used a wiki. I'm am a refugee from the print industry so this is all new to me. I fixed the "make all changes minor" setting and I'll definitely start using the preview button instead of saving, I was totally not even thinking about how annoying that would be. Thanks for taking the time to say hey. I appreciate it. I'm a big fan of the work both you and [[Noemie ~~Belacqua~~]] do. When I get situated and am more experienced with wiki oops I'd like to pitch a hairbrained idea or two your way.

== Wormhole Ore Sites ==

Hi Djavin, could you please elaborate on the deletion of all the information regarding WH-Ore sites? --[[User:Christoph patrouette|Christoph patrouette]] ([[User talk:Christoph patrouette|talk]]) 19:56, 10 April 2017 (CDT)

== Adding combat anomaly reference table to CBMSite template ==

Hi Djavin,

I came across this <nowiki>{{Combat Anomalies|Blood}}</nowiki> template on one of the pages and thought that would be something we could add to the "monstrous" CBMSite template?

It would look nice as a footer to the pages.

What are your thoughts on this idea? --[[User:Jean inkura|Jean inkura]] ([[User talk:Jean inkura|talk]]) 13:09, 9 June 2017 (CDT)

== Page titles should never be plural due to wiki limitations ==

Hi - I noticed last year you moved a number of articles to their plural. This is usually not a good idea, as it forces you to rename links. For example, if you were to say "The rupture is a cruiser" you would have to link it as <nowiki>[[Cruisers|cruiser]]</nowiki>. This gets very annoying and tedious. However, the converse is easy: eg "All gallente cruisers are slow" can be written as <nowiki>[[Cruiser]]s</nowiki> and the compiler will correct the link. Can you please explain the reasoning behind your change to those pages?

:When I first started editing the wiki, some articles had singular titles, and some had plural. In an attempt to harmonize articles titles, I changed the singular titles to plural because that's what felt most intuitive to me.

:There are redirects for the singular version of each plural article title, so <nowiki>[[Cruisers|cruiser]]</nowiki> isn't actually necessary – <nowiki>[[cruiser]]</nowiki> would work just as well. -[[User:Djavin novienta|Djavin novienta]] ([[User talk:Djavin novienta|talk]]) 10:05, 3 August 2017 (CDT)
