Unfortunately, a few of the popup editors have distorted some of the more sizable articles which tend to use complex code such as tabbers, galleries and custom tables. Just a note in that regard, please use the source editor on such pages and always remember to check your revisions before publishing them. A lot of brokenness can easily be avoided by doing so, and keep in mind that I will tend to revert the whole lot if it looks too complicated to restore manually. Furthermore, please contact me before making radical edits that results in the reorganising of sections or the inclusion of prominent new ones. I'd love to hear your suggestions, but going ahead and making major edits may conflict with the purposes of existing designs, so make sure to let me know. Keep in mind also that redundancy should be avoided, which has been occurring more often.

Speaking of which, this brings me to the main point of discussion. I finally got around to a quick processing of the Icon Kit article. Not too long ago, someone went ahead and performed a major update to the layout that saw the inclusion of unlock requirements within the icon galleries. Although helpful, previously, I decided to remove these. This was because:
 * Icon unlock requirements are already present on the wiki, mainly on the Achievements and Shops articles.
 * Large captions occupy sizable vertical and horizontal space (due to icons needing to be enlarged to fit caption text), heavily reducing the number of icons that can be viewed at once. This forces additional scrolling.
 * The galleries are much nicer to view and easier to navigate when they are uncongested.

I have since removed the unlock requirements from the Icon Kit article, but decided to create a thread to hear about what you think should be done. You can vote in the poll below, but replying and sharing your opinion may have a more meaningful impact on what happens. Thank you for contribution. Should the Icon Kit article state unlock requirements within its icon galleries? Yes, they should be added for comprehensiveness No, they should separated so that the icon galleries can be viewed with ease Do I really need to hear of this? Big mistake.
