bro why do you have <<span>br</span> />
: because when i dont use them i cant figure out how to add line breaks, plus it's cleaner, preferred in almost all cases, and can be used in more scenarios than a normal <code><nowiki><br></nowiki></code> [[User:SomeoneIGuess|someone, i guess]] ([[User talk:SomeoneIGuess|talk]]) 19:31, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

:: Hi, here's some information on all that, in case you're interested.
:: When replying with indents, a <newline> and the appropriate number of ::s to maintain the indent on the next line is enough to line-break (see this source).
:: If you're writing unindented items, a ''single'' <newline> is treated as just whitespace, such that it just flows on the same (output) line.
:: If you really want to separate items, you can use ''two'' (or more?) <newline>s and it'll respect the new-paragraph feeling.
:: (The separation in the edit source is obviosuly far more obvious. If you're just the next person making a 'root' comment in a Talk page then this actually is useful to help navigate the fact that you're looking at two different contributions, but if you're writing multiple paragraphs of your own then you ''wouldn't'' want it to look so disconnected.)
:: It's also the case that the first (single) <newline> in a wikitable item is correctly treated as a new-paragraph in the table contents, but any further such newlines are treated as continuation of that second paragraph, unless you make it work as above/below.
:: You can, of course, use <nowiki><p>, <p></p>, <br>, <br/>, etc</nowiki> to force a break (even in an actual run-on line the source) or make the 'trivial' and whitespace-only break real (either side of the actual <newline> that is otherwise ignored.
:: ...I rather like adding a <nowiki><br/></nowiki> at the end of paragraphs to let me use an editor-friendly layout, as described. Occasionally I'll add it it to the ''start'' of the follow-up paragraph (it makes it look a bit like a bulletted list, which might aid future editors), but that's rare.
:: And, of course, when writing Talk-type replies like this, I don't need to do any of that. I just use the indent-colons and it all works out exactly as it needs to without fuss.
:: Indents don't (often) apply in actual comic articles themselves, of course. But I suspect that their use at the start of every line in the Transcript (it is usual to have at least the one level of indent in front of every individual line except for actual 'blank lines') is in part to make it look more or less the same in both 'raw edit' and screen-style, given that a Transcript is supposed to have very little actual formatting markup/tagging of any other kind.
:: Anyway, you can always use Preview to double-check (and tweak with) anything before actually posting, just in case you forget to force a newline (or do one where it isn't technically needed and ends up looking worse than you intended).

For your recent FAQ addition (which I'm not able to edit myself), might I suggest that instead of:
:For statements that require actual, genuine citations, the template ''[[Template:actual citation needed|Actual Citation Needed]]'' should be used instead.
...you change it to:
:For statements that require actual, genuine citations, the template ''{{template|Actual citation needed}}'' should be used instead.
(See edit source for how I wrote that, or even to copypaste the markup direct.)
<br />Also note that the 'real' template is capitalised with a capital 'A' (and no others). The all-lower one aliases to the first-upper one (much as rather more variations on {{template|Citation needed}} redirect to it). Not really so important, but while {{template|Citation Needed}} exists (to save time for people who can't simply remember that it is "First capital only"?), there isn't even an {{template|Actual Citation Needed}} (at time of writing, at least, and I honestly think there's no need to spoil people with something like {{eVeRy PoSsIbLe CaSe-MiX}} when the baseline is fairly standard).
<br />So, at least lower the latter two capitals in the link-text to implant the valid (and main) version in people's minds from the moment they possibly learn of such a possibility. Whether or not you {{template|template}}ify the link and/or 'Inital case' where it points to. ...but just a suggestion. Perhaps more style than substance, but you seem like you might appreciate these pointers. [[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.33|141.101.98.33]] 08:39, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

:: Aye, certainly the part about the visual cue. Which probably matters most. (Could all be considered a minor thing. But I thought it had value to keep the FAQ a bit more accurate, as obviously did you by putting that original addition in.)

you could add the following CSS for better highlighting changes that added or removed a lot of bytes:

span.mw-plusminus-pos {color: #5F5 !important;}<br /> 
span.mw-plusminus-neg {color: #F55 !important;}<br />
strong.mw-plusminus-pos {color: #0F0 !important; font-size: 1.2em;}<br />
strong.mw-plusminus-neg {color: #F00 !important; font-size: 1.2em;}<br />

<span class="mw-plusminus-pos">(+23)</span>
<span class="mw-plusminus-neg">(-2)</span>
<strong class="mw-plusminus-pos">(+593)</strong>
<strong class="mw-plusminus-neg">(-18,952)</strong>

changes that add or remove at least 500 bytes are <<span></span>strong> instead of <<span></span>span>

Ahem... *cough* ..."same as last edit" and "ditto"s only make sense in the edit history that shows them (in this case the Recent Changes, at least as long as the fully explained precursor edit isn't then re-edited and the reason gets lost/misplaced/multiply-summarised in time). Better to actually refer to "as per recent edit of <comic number>", although just being explicit each time doesn't hurt (never out of context), and if you're worried about repeating explanations because you hadn't the inagination... well, you repeated "ditto"s, so already jumped ''that'' shark! I mean, I'm not the Summary Police, just I could see what you were thinking but I think you might even want to do it differently next time if you put your mind to it.
