This is an archive of pointless messages that annoy me and I would like gone.

Re: Ravenclaw Ravenclaw section
I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplished by throwing out "am an admin on eight other wikis and have never heard of wikitext before," because frankly, that's actually kind of sad. Users are not required to "having heard of" wikitext, but it is sort of super basic, especially when you are on Wikia/Fandom, a site that operates with wikitext. Please read: Help:Wikitext.

And I checked the editing history, unfortunately, that "huge coding error" is in fact done by you, which can be seen at: [//harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Ravenclaw?diff=prev&oldid=1171207 https://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Ravenclaw?diff=prev&oldid=1171207]

You've added a bunch of redundant "| ]]" onto the page, when  only needed to be incased with [[ and ; for concrete example in case you don't understand:

Previously Yutaka Amano has the correct markup, simply Yutaka Amano; your edit turned it into  Yutaka Amano. The "| ]][[Roland Abberley|Yutaka Amano" is completely redundant.

I am not saying your edit is entirely wrong; after the correction, there's still +502 increase of bytesize, and that's your actual contribution, the -1,135 I reduced are all wrongly coded.

Please understand the situation before claiming having no fault. I understand it's likely not intentional, but I'm just calling what I'm seeing, as "1,135" reduce-in-size is by no means "small". Usually a markup error would not have reached that number, which was why I had to emphasize it was quite huge, or my edit of cleaning of the mess could be misinterpreted as vandal if people don't look into it and just assume base on the reduction size. It was not vandal, as the error is frankly huge. --Sammm✦✧(talk) 18:53, November 7, 2018 (UTC)
 * Your edits appear to have been done with the VisualEditor, which is prone to many coding issues, so the changes Sammm鯊 mentioned were likely not intentional. Moving forward, it does help to learn Wikitext to avoid VisualEditor's shortcomings when handling some of the more complex page elements. Cheers --Ironyak1 (talk) 19:01, November 7, 2018 (UTC)
 * The bottom line is, you are not me. I'd like to say I'm sorry that you were offended, but after your message I kind of don't feel any sympathy. If you can't accept the fact that errors were (unintentionally) made, that's not my problem. I saw an error, I fixed an error, while addressing whoever made the error could probably benefit from learning how to properly use wikitext. That was not my exact wording in my edit summary since there's a word count limit. Whether they want to learn or not, is not my problem. You don't have to take the advise. It's nothing personal. --Sammm✦✧(talk) 20:01, November 7, 2018 (UTC)
 * Your point being? Which part of "there's still +502 increase of bytesize, and that's your actual contribution, the -1,135 I reduced are all wrongly coded." do you not understand? The  "1,135" in your "1,637"  is junk, so I'm not sure what the purpose of showing me "1,637" is, when the majority of the size is produced due to error.
 * Your edit, the part that isn't wrongly coded, is great. Focusing on the overall edit that contains massive (unintentional) errors, is, however, concerning. If you don't understand where +502 came from: [//harrypotter.wikia.com/index.php?title=Ravenclaw&diff=1171210&oldid=1171207 https://harrypotter.wikia.com/index.php?title=Ravenclaw&diff=1171210&oldid=1171207] That's the before and after junk-removal, main cleanup can be seen after Line 283.
 * That being said, your next edit on the page (the one with +1,491) seemed perfectly fine, so, idk, let it go?Happy editing, keep up the good work. --Sammm✦✧(talk) 18:14, November 8, 2018 (UTC)

Re: Others' Talk Pages Others' Talk Pages section
I'm not particularly watching your Talk page. My landing page is on Special:Recentchanges, which will bold any byte-size change that's above 500, in green for additions or red for subtractions. Your talk page had "-4,927" displayed, which was a clear violation, so I called it what I see it. It's alright to not have heard of things, that's what warnings are for, which was what Ironyak1's message was. Happy editing.
