Flow

There's a discussion on my talk page that made me think of a few things. For one, the "interrobang" (as it's supposedly called) does not seem to interrupt the flow of the discussion. For another, even if it did, it would only do so if lines were separated with <br> tags instead of new paragraphs (as I demonstrated on that portion of my talk page). Thirdly, I think the same applies to sup and sub tags. I can see how in general the big tag could be a problem (maybe...), but I think we should allow sup and sub tags, and big tags around characters usually smaller than normal text. -- Armond WarbladeArmond sig image{{sysop}} 23:56, 19 May 2007 (CEST)

Agree. Could be changed to something like "Markup such as <big>, <sup>, and <sub> tags (which produce big, sup, and sub text), may be used only if they don't disrupt the normal spacing between rows of text."
Btw: I don't really get why a policy called PvXwiki:Sign your comments leaves signing comments optional. Why not ask people to sign always? --Hhhippo 22:56, 1 June 2007 (CEST)
I'll add note. Readem (talk*pvxcontribs) 23:37, 1 June 2007 (CEST)
Idk if Readem is editing right now as I type, but his last edit left "Your IP address might look something like this: 192.0.2.58. Some users " at the very bottom. Not sure if "Some users" was supposed to come off, or if he has something planned for completing the sentence, just thought I'd bring it up. -(єronħ) no u 00:03, 2 June 2007 (CEST)
He deleted a huge part of the page, I guess by accident. Let's wait a bit and then revert. --Hhhippo 00:05, 2 June 2007 (CEST)
Large page bug. It happens. -- Armond WarbladeArmond sig image{{sysop}} 02:31, 2 June 2007 (CEST)
Yeah my bad, didn't notice I deleted it even O.o... Readem (talk*pvxcontribs) 02:33, 2 June 2007 (CEST)
Well, with that bug, you don't. The browser does it for you. -- Armond WarbladeArmond sig image{{sysop}} 02:36, 2 June 2007 (CEST)
Is it known which browsers do it and in which situations? We could put a warning on some help page. I know the wiki warns you when editing long pages, but after seeing that a few times without anything happening you tend to ignore it. --Hhhippo 13:15, 2 June 2007 (CEST)

Are we gonna change

  • Markup such as <big>, <sup>, and <sub> tags (which produce big, sup, and sub text), are not allowed, as they disrupt the normal spacing between rows of text.

to

  • Markup such as <big>, <sup>, and <sub> tags (which produce big, sup, and sub text), are not allowed, unless they don't disrupt the normal spacing between rows of text.

(or something similar and betterly worded (yes, betterly)) -(єronħ) no u 07:12, 2 June 2007 (CEST)

Don't change it. We will encounter far too many problems in the future if we do. Readem (talk*pvxcontribs) 07:15, 2 June 2007 (CEST)

Awww. Guess that sig of mine was just too good to be true... ah well, there's more important things in life, such as that acorn over there. (goes to check it out)-(єronħ) no u 07:18, 2 June 2007 (CEST)
>.>...sweet an acorn :)! Readem (talk*pvxcontribs) 07:23, 2 June 2007 (CEST)
I still vote for changing. A violation is detected only if the flow is broken anyway, so why not loosen the restrictions such that only detectable problems are illegal. I wonder what would have happened if Eronth just overlooked that rule and used his big interrobang without breaking the flow. I bet that nobody would have noticed it. --Hhhippo 13:23, 2 June 2007 (CEST)
There wil probably be quite a few people who don't know what flow is. -(єronħ) no u 17:15, 3 June 2007 (CEST)
