:: I am wary of making changes atm (ie until what changes to be made are clear) since I feel I got my knuckles wrapped on this and am now being overviewed. But I do understand that I did unwittingly tread on one of the guideline in my attempt to implement a change that would affect every page in the Settlement category.
::: It's a hierarchy thing. You have an introductory sentence which starts the page, and this often includes a few things in the infobox. It's not there as much to provide information as it is just to introduce the page, and whatever the villagers consider the key aspects of their village. The infobox has brief info that is applicable to most or all villages and has some use to outsiders. The rest of the page is whatever. For a dictatorship with a big-ego mayor, I can imagine the mayor being mentioned in all three sections. :-)
::: On contacts and elders, they may well be the same in many cases, but it's also possible to have elders who only deal with internal village matters, especially in larger villages. Maybe you have dedicated recruiters, even. So I feel that elders isn't a good enough fit.
::: Ok I see that, hadnt occurred to me. [[User:Tritus|Tritus]]
::: Keep in mind that this page is in your user space, so you can change it as much as you want. When you have something that looks good (or you want help making it look better, or whatnot) you can post on the actual template asking for feedback. And for the example block in particular, changing that won't affect other pages, so it's less of an issue with updates. - [[User:Dashiva|Dashiva]] 11:36, 2 October 2008 (CDT)
::: When you say change as much as I want .. does that mean that the changes will be invisible on the Recent Changes page? I am rather in the habit of using forum style editing, though I have been trying to use the preview button since I was asked to. [[User:Tritus|Tritus]] 02:06, 3 October 2008 (CDT)
:::: What I meant was that you can change the content as much as you want, using preview is still a good thing. In particular, testing layouts and styling should be done with preview. The main thing you can't test with preview is parameter substitution, but that can be done at the very end.
:::: Keep in mind that there's nothing inherently wrong with making many edits. 50 edits on 50 pages takes just as much space as 50 edits on the same page. The difference is just how many edits could've been avoided. - [[User:Dashiva|Dashiva]] 03:47, 3 October 2008 (CDT)
