Please don't waste your time alphabetizing examples within sections

... as you did on Knife-Throwing Act and Whip It Good.

Since the official wiki style is to add all new examples to the ends of their sections to make them easy to find, the section contents are going to get out of order anyway.

...plus looking at Recent Changes, I see Whip It Good lost over 500 bytes from your changes to it -- that's a small paragraph's worth, and somewhat worrying. I can't figure out what's missing, but I can't imagine it's all whitespace. Knife-Throwing lost 37 bytes, which might all be attributed to non-content, but I'm still concerned.

It was a combination of white space and references to 'the above example', 'furthermore', etc. that didn't make sense in alphabetical order.

My apologies. I'm trying to adjust the style differences between here and TV Tropes and obviously doing a poor job. Sorry :(

Not poor, no. You just need to get a handle on how we do things.

We've had people who've actively refused to learn how we did things, and even ban-evaded when we tried our usual "attention-getting" tactics on them. I'd say you're well ahead of the pack. And like I said, in this particular instance, I just wanted to to save you some effort that really doesn't profit anyone. (Except those of us with certain kinds of OCD. <grin>)

Hepzibah (talkcontribs)

Thanks. I do have that kind of OCD. :) (And genuinely prefer things in alphabetic order, but I'll stick to the riles of my new 'home'.)
