Talk:Frederick
Dear Frederick, I appriciate what you are doing on the Wiki, but I would prefer it if you would refrain from simply renaming sections on pages, for example renaming "Overview" to "Game Description" on the Empire Total War Units. As a member of the TWC Wiki staff, I would ask you to please re edit the pages you changed so that that that section is still named "Overview". Of course you may retain the section you put in, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could rename it "Tactics." For an example of exactly how a page should look, please refer to the 12 pounder foot artillery page, which I have corrected and completed. The reason I ask is that we do have a standard layout which we are implementing for all the units for ETW and NTW, and will eventually roll out to the other games, and we would appreciate it if that were not fiddled with, since it means more work at our end.

Its impossible for me or anyone else to keep track of every single edit that goes on-note also that most of us have been on holiday up until about 3 weeks ago, and the wiki is a very large thing to police, considering there are only two fully active wiki adminstrators, and one of them is also a TWC Staff Moderator. What also didn't help is that I was working on the categories etc for units you had not yet edited, and well as a load of admin tasks which hadn't been done for at least 2 years, and as such had no idea what you were doing until 3 days ago. Rest assured I acted on it as soon as I could, as ever. Your information is useful, but we don't like it when people rename sections or delete huge reams of stuff (not that you actually did that, I only mention it for completeness). What is also not good to put on the wiki are sections like "Trivia" (this isn't a place for random info, that kind of thing can usually be put in the overview or tactics sections) and matters of opinion (a wiki is a place for fact, not opinion). However, I will thank you for actually editing the wiki and adding things to it, not enough people do that seriously. Tango12345 02:20, 19 September 2011 (MDT)
"Unit Overview" does not have enough of a difference in title from the actual overview above it (I'm looking at the line infantry page you just edited). Would you mind renaming it to something else? "Information" or "Details" will do.Tango12345 11:57, 21 September 2011 (MDT)
That would be perfect. Tango12345 06:11, 22 September 2011 (MDT)
Since there are only 3 government types it would be better to put those on the main Empire Total War page, likewise with the tech tree. Neither of those really warrant their own article. By all means put the information up though. Upkeep and training costs etc can have their own page (under "Unit Costs" or somesuch), as can Experience, but they would have to refer to all the TW games not just ETW-these are traits that all the games share in much the same way. Company strength and firepower are not really needed-I can't see how one can have a huge amount of info on that other than what is already clear. Tango12345 11:10, 12 October 2011 (MDT)
