This has to do with in-game description formatting.

For a very long time, even before I joined wikia last year, users on the Miner's Haven wikia would place in-game descriptions on top of the page above the infobox and have in quotation marks and in italics. The only thing that changed after i came was that it would be right next to the infobox to make it look better.

In September, Helper Rick complained about the in-game description formatting (why didn't he do so earlier) and told people to use the block quote format which about no one listened to. I then worked on another solution which was to make it look like the item descriptions in Miner's Haven, I cancelled this idea because it was just too over the top.

When the Ore Nebula and Nebula Receiver came out earlier this month, I combined the two pages because they were directly connected and neither of the itmes have enough unique information. This meant having two in-game descriptions in one page and it doesn't look good.

I can't believe it took this much time to do it, but I made a new blockquote format and here it is:

"This is what the new in-game description format would look like if users approve of it in the polls below. TheWikiaEditMachine hopes you like it."

Here's a duplicate page of the Ore Nebula on my test wikia that also shows off the concept of the new in-game description format.

What do you think of the new in-game description format? LOVE IT! Like it OK with it Don't like it HATE IT!
