User blog:Ms Terrain/a thought on wiki descriptions

Just a note sort of concerning quality of article descriptions

All in all, I revise these articles because I found quite a few of them difficult to read, and a bit convoluted, at least, when I first visited this wiki.

But I've noticed this weapon has been given a very detailed account of its behavior, strengths, etc.



I don't see nearly the level of attentiveness, descriptiveness, and depth with other items or maps.

Weapons and stuff deserve balanced descriptions, which should also be left fairly simple. Players do not furiously consult the wiki to help them weigh which item to buy or not everytime they buy something. Things do not need to be so precise. ("It can be used as an anti-sniper weapon as its power and accuracy can make a sniper flinch when aiming, and the amount of damage the rounds dish out can overwhelm and kill faster than some snipers are able to evade and shoot a second shot given that the sniper is under 60m away." please). I leave some of these details in the article mainly because I have not a single clue when it comes to timing. So, if these details are so relevant, I would very much agree in keeping them.

Still if we wanted to be so precise, and thus help players save money and choose the better weapon to purchase, the precision should shared with all weapons/items etc.

^And all this doesn't even have to do with quality.

The sole purpose of my editing, tbh, is improving clarity. It is also the aim of the wiki to serve everyone. (I leave the actual details of stuff up to the pros/)

All the same, clarity and conciseness is quality.
