Hi, I replied to your message on my message wall.

On a related topic, your undoing my edits made me rethink about why I stopped editing on this wiki for a long time: there's this policy of reveryting every edit without double checking. Basically it's assumed that every change is wrong. I'm not accusing, this is a very legitimate way of doing, but it looks to me that it prevents improvements.

Again I'm not saying you did wrong in following this way, I'm saying I disagree, but of course I know I have to adjust to follow the community.

I mean I'm the founder of a Wiki myself, and when I see a person changing something I don't know, I think "could it be?" and double check to see if the editor is right. A common mistake in wikis is when somebody edits something the admins don't know, they go "I don't know it, so it's wrong", leading to a sort of momentum of things that are unknown because they were never in the Wiki, still not being added, and things that were known because they are on the Wiki, not being removed despite being made up. (for example I might be wrong, but it's now assumed that MKSF takes place before MKMSZ, but I believe this info to be made up by some editor on this Wiki, and wich game is first being unknown)

This is very common in Wikis, especially Wikipedia itself, where sometimes I find unsourced info, so I check the history to see who added it and when, but I find it was there since very early and was simply kept, being assumed as true.

Again, this is not an accusation and maybe not even a suggestion, I just wanted to say it looks like it happens here sometimes.
