As you suspected, [https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php?title=Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki_talk%3AVersions&type=revision&diff=292148&oldid=292138 this edit] is not very good form. Talk pages are like a forum; if there's a misunderstanding, clarify it and move on. There's no need to clean up past discussions and deleting other people's comments is generally frowned upon. See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines here] for general talk page ettiquette. The comment you replaced the discussion with is also a bit unclear now; if you think there's an issue with the version template, it's better to demonstrate how to reproduce the bug so that someone can try to fix it. —[[User:OddballJoe|OddballJoe]] ([[User talk:OddballJoe|talk]]) 19:03, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

		+	:Good tip, and now I have a handy reference for the tag usage too, thanks. Also, I appreciate you having a look at that terminology discussion and giving some feedback. I think on one or two points I might have got a bit too "zoned in" on the issue. It wouldn't be a discussion if there wasn't some dialogue. —[[User:Alpacalypse\|Alpacalypse]] ([[User talk:Alpacalypse\|talk]]) 01:55, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

	:Gotcha. Now you mention it, I shouldn't have needed to be told not to delete someone else's comment. I was really just thinking about how much needless clutter I'd added to the discussion.
