Isharon, I can't seem to figure out wiki-messaging works, so forgive me if I've done this wrong. You asked me to include commas in appraisal values of 1,000 or more. For example, ''55,000'' instead of ''55000''. To me, that's confusing because people tend to think about prices in terms of how many plats it is, and 55,000 suggests 55 plat and not 5.5 plat. I realize that if we were to use #,#### as the model - which most closely matches how many plats the item costs - it would also look confusing to people, particularly newcomers, until they had an explanation. It kinda seems like we confuse people no matter which way we do it with regard to including commas, so, since commas aren't used in game at all, I'm wondering why it's necessary to introduce a different standard by adding them here in ePedia and potentially confusing people in yet a different way? I suppose the biggest reason I've not thus far added any commas is to match what we see in game as closely as possible. -[[User:NKSTROUD|NKSTROUD]] ([[User talk:NKSTROUD|talk]]) 18:44, 21 May 2016 (CDT)

Actually, I noticed I had messed up the header, but couldn't figure out how to correct it. It just occurred to me that I was using the form, and that the non-form probably had the settings I needed to change.

Thanks for fixing that for me.
