Talk page history

It's probably best to retain the history of your talk page (as is the nature of a wiki) and not delete it all.--Naeya (talk) 23:44, 23 October 2007 (CDT)

Gamemaster talk page

Hey Kraelyst, why did you delete our little exchange about tables on the GM article talk page? IMO (and as is standard, accepted practice in wikis), article talk-page discussions should never be deleted, no matter how trivial the content. That stuff about tables is admittedly pretty minor, but it might be useful to someone else at some point. Archiving is ok after an appropriate length of time, but editing talk pages is OK only as absolutely necessary if someone says something really awful/inappropriate.

The underlying idea is that it's considered really bad form in a wiki to edit someone else's comments on a talk page as it's considered anti-collaborative. In any case I think there's a lot that can be done to improve that table on the GM article, eg sortability and maybe some borders/cell coloring to improve readability. So for all these reasons I'm going to un-delete that discussion, and add to it.

Your User page is your own kingdom as it were and you can do whatever you want on it, but to expand on what Naeya said above, unless there's some kind of offensive comment, harassment, or something of that nature, most people leave the talk in place since it represents the contributions of other people. --Farman 00:13, 24 October 2007 (CDT)
