I never put into question your changes. After finally hearing some actually constructive criticisms, I agree with your changes.


I put into question your attitude on the work of others, no matter how messy or inefficient it was to look through.

Go look at the first iteration of that page and you'll see that someone tried their best, and I too thought it could be better and made changes. But never did I think to belittle the work they did, or add my opinion on someone's work, especially in the description of the changes.

If this were a sport (poor analogy, best I can do), you'd strike me as a poor winner, and that's what my issue was. In your response I still didn't read you addressing this.

Are you talking about the Catalyst page? Look when I was looking at that page it was out of curiosity. I was searching for a certain catalyst and checked the wiki for help. As I casually browsed through the list, the way it was formatted made it difficult to find what I was looking for. Then there’s these crossed out text etc, it was a mess. The page was not user friendly at all. Now if I’m finding it difficult to read through the list, someone who regularly edits the wiki, imagine someone who doesn’t.

If you see how it’s structured out now, you can easily browse for the weapon you’re looking for. The exotics are under their corresponding headings. It’s organised. Even the unavailable ones have their own section. Say I’m looking for a heavy weapon, I can quickly scroll to that section and find the gun I’m looking for in that smaller list. It’s been done to help the ease of use to casual readers.

Also I haven’t even implemented what I originally had in mind, it’d make it far easier to use. And you’re acting like that’s page I wouldn’t be able make on my own. You genuinely haven’t seen the level of work I produce, something like that is easy work. Now if you want constructive criticism, I invite you to join the wiki discord.

The way you say things makes people no longer want to contribute.

On a page I diligently updated and maintained for months, you said "This page is bad, it needs to be rebuilt" without offering any constructive criticism. That is so demoralizing it hurts.

Just by sorting work, that had a lot of effort put into you then say "Alright that should be good enough for now, I may do major restructuring later and rebuild the page" as if you did anything overly transformative. Good luck maintaining the page, cause I certainly won't anymore, you've made sure of that.
