(Collected) is the ideal distinction we use for every collected edition. Not every page has been converted to that distinction, but that's because we don't have a perfect method for sorting collected editions yet. "Vol 1 1" on the other hand implies that it is a #1 issue. Trade paperbacks are almost never #1 issues, so we don't list them as such. The only pages listed that way are very old ones that we haven't caught yet.
If you come across a page or edit where you see something you disagree with, you are welcome to discuss the issue with the editor who made the edit.
You are not welcome to undo that edit.
All pages should remain as they are until you have discussed the issue with the editor, and then come to a resolution. Not before.
If you see an edit made by an Administrator, then it is safe to assume that there is a solid reasoning behind it. If you don't understand why they made that decision, you should contact them about it. They can explain what their reasoning was, and if you still disagree, then you are welcome to involve other administrators and users in the discussion.
You should not revert the edit and leave a snarky editor's note. That is only going to annoy the administrators.
And, when an administrator changes that edit back after you've reverted it and left a snarky comment, you should not revert that edit, and leave another snarky comment.
That is what is called "edit warring", and it is against policy, and it is a blockable offence.
You have been blocked twice now for that reason.
I am leaving this note for you because I don't want to have to block you again. We have a three-strike rule, and if you are not able to behave in accordance with the simple guidelines I just gave you, your next block will be pretty permanentish.
Hi. We have crossed paths before, and do not always agree, but I see you have done a LOT of work here for quite some time now.
I was wondering if you would accept a nomination, by me, for you to become an administrator. I take it there have been now new administrators for a while, and I think you qualify.
Please let me know.
We don't use the "Batman (Bruce Wayne)" and "Catwoman (Selina Kyle)" links in the appearances section, because the categorization still uses "Bruce Wayne (New Earth)" etc. The former are for google optimization. Internally, we use the latter.
Sorry, I should have been clearer.
We don't use those page-names for linking at all, for categorization reasons.
You were still changing the Quote links.
We don't add textless covers to cover galleries. Those belong on issue pages, and can be used on team and character pages etc, but the cover galleries are strictly for the full retail covers.
If we're missing covers, the appropriate thing to do is find them, upload them, and add them to the issue page and cover galleries with the proper template, etc.
I understand you challenging the site conventions, but having edit wars against admins is not the way to do that. If you want to challenge an admin's ruling, the appropriate way to do that is discussion through a talk page. I wanted to do this politely, but I will simply protect the page if you won't stop changing it.
Please don't tell me you know more about the storyline pages on our site than I do. I made at least 90% of those pages. I made the Storyline Template. Our policy is that we use the cover for the collected edition if we have it on file, and if we don't then we use the cover to the first issue.
We use the collected edition cover when we have one on file on the site, if someone uploads them. They're the preference, because they're the image that DC has chosen to represent that storyline. They're the preference, but it's acceptable to use a regular cover image if something better isn't immediately available. I'm not going to go around making sure every storyline image is stricly updated based on collected edition covers, but I am going to revert edits that change to a less preferable image when we already have a good one.
Hey Varese, please either link character appearances in trades like a normal page, Character (Universe), or don't link any characters and add {{Missing Characters}} at the bottom of the page. Linking to just Bruce Wayne or Penguin isn't very helpful because they're empty categories. Thanks.
