Questions and Suggestions

Questions:

• New contributor here. :-) Some Wiki pages start with a section named Overview, others with a Description. Which one is correct?

I'd personally dump that header altogether and leave the description headerless, since otherwise it looks really ugly in small articles that rarely span over a single screen (that is, the vast majority of articles on this Wiki). --N21lv (talk) 09:44, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

• I've begun updating several Wiki pages on the subject of "taking the object apart". The Wiki currently seems to prefer to name this mechanic "Harvesting". However, I just noticed that you have a line in the InfoBox group called "Dismantleable", and also a brief Wiki page about Dismantling. First, I'd like to request that we all agree on a single term for this mechanic; and secondly, I'd like to vote for "dismantling". I know it sounds weird to "dismantle" a stag or zombie dog, but it certainly sounds no worse than "harvesting" one, whereas "dismantling" fits almost everything except for harvesting a tree.

• I respectfully request that we redefine Block Durability as of A13. Currently in this Wiki, even by its own definition, Block Durability is a hypothetical factor. In A13, however, there is now a "progress bar" of sorts that appears over an object as it's being destroyed or dismantled; and I think it would be much more useful to define the maximum number in that progress bar as "Durability". Note that this would also bring the definition of Block Durability more in line with the definition of Usable Items Durability directly above it.
