Question

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Aramet

Thank you Infodude. I appreciate your help and understanding as well as all the other helpful individuals who updated the page with their conjoined efforts.

Talking to Sakura502; you put the information about loading time decrease being N/A due to archery skills no longer having load times and stuck it underneath the stats box. Reading the updated page after it was graciously updated by the generous persons in this talk I still saw the "loaded skills decrease" in the skill description. This lead me to believe that the archery skills still had a load time. I had gotten into an embarrassing conversation with someone about this where I claimed there was load time and the other person saying there wasn't and claimed it was on the page. Checking the details where I thought such information would naturally be I didn't find it and proceeded to tell the person it wasn't there.

They told me otherwise so I read the page over 11 times trying to find where this information was only to find it hidden underneath the status graph chart in "fine print". It was VERY hard to find. Usually for "skill information" that pertains to the skill, its updates/changes and how it's used would normally be in "Details," so I moved it to details hoping to make it more noticeable for people seeking information in one localized area which it did and I notified it as such in my edit summary. Sakura undid my edit claiming that it was noticeable just the way it was before and that's simply not true. It only makes logical sense for details about a skill to be in the "details" area of the page instead of hiding it in small print under the stats. I even put the info under the bullet point where it talks about "decreased archery skill loading" so you see the information about it being N/A in logical order after it talks about "Loading skills." It's noticeable, and relevant with the details already there. I fail to see the flaw in my logic unless your intent was to purposely play "Where's Waldo" with information. If I'm ignorant please clarify my misunderstanding because I must be missing something here. I undid the undo but if I'm in the wrong can someone please explain to me how so I can better understand?

I just found putting an asterisk for the "foot note" that went inside a bullet point to be pretty pointless. You normally find footnotes way under the block of text, not inside it.
