== Some Questions == | |||
Hi Rydiak, I saw that you moved my notes about the bug in [[Tides of Chaos (passive feature)]] into the {{code|verify}} template. Thanks for catching that! I have a couple of questions that I'm wondering if you can help me with. | |||
The first is about the verify template. When I hover over it I only see the first 4 or 5 words of the explanation. Do you know if that is expected or if it's an issue with my browser? I think it's useful for people to have details of why I'm saying it needs verification so that it's easier to check on their end. I can move it to the discussion page but that seems less convenient than the pop-up. On a similar note, is there a formal process for verifying a bug? Should I upload a video somewhere of it triggering on an out-of-combat roll? | |||
Second, do you have any thoughts on how you decide whether a change is "minor" or not? I think that you can set to only be notified about non-minor changes when you watch a page and as far as I know that's the only consequence of marking it. I generally mark non-informational changes as minor (for example, changing the way something is worded for clarity or turning text into a link) but not informational changes (for example, adding an entry into a section or correcting a bonus that displays the wrong number). But there are some non-informational changes that I don't mark as minor, like if I'm significantly reorganizing a section in a page. | |||

:I'm not the expert when it comes to how {{C|verify}} is supposed to work, but it is a nice tag for when a potential bug or unintended interaction is dubious or hard to reproduce. It's nice that you included the explanation, but yea I see that the wiki truncates it to a certain length. Either way, it is visible in the source for those who are so inclined to research it. When verifying a bug it helps to get as much information as possible to explain the interaction so that way it can potentially be fixed by Larian or a mod. | |||
:I tend to mark edits as "minor" when I am just fixing formatting or punctuation, or making a small edit to a line or two of text. I think that not marking edits as 'minor' for anything larger is good practice, though I'm sure we all make mistakes when following this sort of guideline. It doesn't currently seem like it is that big of a deal though as any edits can be easily reviewed. | |||
