I read this: "Obviously, any prior experience in programming is going to be benificial here, but I'm pretty confident with my, terribble typos, enough feedback and revisions that this guide might prove pretty handy sometime." as saying that "Yes, this could do with additions and revisions - this article is a WIP." meaning that Jennie's nose wouldn't get bent out of joint if one *did* edit it.

Please stop making incorrect edits to CAOS command articles. Also, please stop duplicating the exact same content across many articles - we're looking at building an infobox template for CAOS commands which links to information about how the commands work, but 'for input' and 'for output' are nonsense and duplicating the same information about how rvalues and commands work across every single article isn't useful either (and I've discussed this just now with other editors). - [[User:Fuzzie|Fuzzie]] 16:50, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the Creatures Wiki! :-) ----GreenReaper(talk) 01:23, 12 Feb 2005 (GMT)

GF, I'm not so sure that having an "inaccurate" template would be such a good idea - isn't it generally easier to edit an article and change the percieved inaccuracies? - Malkin

Well, I was mainly just playing with the template thingy to see if it would work...
The reason I didn't edit the article is it was a tutorial posted with permission, which means 1. I'm probably not LEGALLY supposed to edit it, and 2. altering it would kinda defeat the point of it being an article about a tutorial...

Please stop making incorrect edits to CAOS command articles.

Incorrect? Anything incorrect is due to my misreading or misunderstanding the CAOS docs, or remembering incorrectly, and I apologise.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say mentioning if the use of a command is to set something or get data is nonsense, but ok...

Well, you've now edited two articles which were previously correct, and changed them to be at least partially incorrect (ABSV and ACCG). I can't help but see that as vandalism. And, mentioning the use of a command to set or get something is fine, but that's not 'input' or 'output'. 'command' and 'function' are generally the ways used to describe that, and I'm putting those terms in the infobox, unless you have a better idea? - Fuzzie 17:28, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
