Overlinking Guidelines and Admin Behavior/Communication
While I thank you for your link to this page: TESWiki:OVERLINK, I find that Wikipedia's personal overlinking guidelines simply do not mesh with environment here that we have chosen to construct a wiki within. Let us take a look at the two bullets (also the first two listed on that link) which may possibly apply to my edits. They are as follows: "• Avoid linking plain English words. • Avoid linking the names of major geographic features and locations, languages, religions, and common professions."

- Wikipedia Manual of Style

Now then, I do believe that the pages of the wiki by and large violate these two "guidelines" (and for good reason). I am curious to know if you truly believe that Wikipedia's guidelines wholly apply to this wiki. If that is the common consensus as agreed upon by the staff, I will surely take heed, but I believe that doing so would cause the entire face of this wiki to dramatically change.

Additionally, you have not elaborated on a number of things. Were you upset with the number of wikilinks in the text? The number of pages in the "See Also" section? The redundancy of the pages found in the "See Also" section (as some had appeared, and been linked, in the above text.)

Secondly, do you have any response to me about those extraneous spaces? My replies to you were not directed in the form of a question, however, since you are not inferring properly (or flat out ignoring me), I will ask flat out - Can you explain why the Wikia editor is adding extra space in between ? I am not putting that space in there, and I am using the Source editor, so it shouldn't be doing that.

If you don't have the time to talk with editors, I'd advise you to at least make another admin available as there are certain users, such as myself, who wish to comprehend the styling rules and whatnot and are not attempting to engage in edit wars. There seems to be a large gap on this wiki when it comes to editorial communication between the admins, who as I aforementioned, seem somewhat reckless and bull-headed with reverts and edits, and the editors. All I simply ask is that if I screwed up somewhere, that I be informed of the what, where, when, and how. I don't think that is much to ask - also, it will help me to not make such mistakes again in the future. Thank you.
